Vintage Tissot watch guide

hmmmcamu · Sep 5, 2017

I am starting a post where people can hopefully share INFORMATION, REQUEST FOR INFORMATION. and for SOURCING PARTS and or Knowledge for vintage Tissot watches the cousin of Omega ... hopefully people who might need advise, parts etc etc ... can find what they are looking for .... via other people on this page

Tissot merged with Omega back in 1930. Lemania, the movement maker joined the group 2 years later and became the chronograph movement maker for the brands. Having a captive chronograph maker enabled both Omega and Tissot to become official timing partners for many events such as the Olympics, Formula 1 and other sporting events. Tissot and Omega used a lot of similar or even same movements over the years.

thanks i would love to do a resto project for the 2 register chronograph lemania 1341 ... a dial and a complete set of hands would be great ... lets see if someone with parts will post here ... and hopefully in the future more people will use this thread for that

You're on your way to having one of each of these:

A nice family photo and a worthy goal I should think!

In the late 60's, a friend of mine couldn't decide between a Tissot and a Speedmaster. The jeweler let him try the Tissot for the weekend. My friend went with the Speedmaster which he still has. It's mint.
