OMEGA TISSOT Single Pusher Chronograph Tropical Sector Dial Cal 15TL (c.1939)

Available for sale is a magnificent and extremely uncommon dual signed Omega Watch Co. and Tissot Chronograph, powered by a movement based on the venerable calibre 33.3, which in the hands of Tissot is more commonly known as Calibre 15TL (the bridge is signed Omega and the base plate is signed Tissot - therein known as caliber 15TL)

These Omega Tissot watches were originally made for the South American market, and this particular watch came to me from Brazil, whereupon the caseback and case has been freshly plated and filled respectively. Omega Watch Co / Tissot watches were produced not long after the two revered manufacturers merged in the 1930s - this example dates to c. 1939 and features an impossibly rare sector dial configuration, the centre of which has aged to a sumptuous caramel matte tropical finish
