The 1940’s marked as one of the most interesting periods for chronographs, involved various manufactures to implement and introduce their own iterations of a chronograph wristwatch. With the merge between Omega and Tissot in the 1930’s, many of the watches produced by the two manufacturers during that era housed movements from one another. The present example of a Tissot chronograph from the 1940’s is an attractive example featuring a beautiful two-tone dial with blue and red accents.
