NAMED ONE OF WATCHPRO MAGAZINE’S “HOT 100” - THE TOP 100 INFLUENCERS OF THE U.S. WATCH INDUSTRY. HOW CAN WE SERVE YOU?

1939 OMEGA - TISSOT Omega Caliber 33.3 Vintage Large Mens Chrongraph - Stainless Steel

Rare & Very Collectable - Double Signed Dial - 1 Year Warranty

The Omega 28.9 chronograph was Omega's first true wristwatch chronograph - the first small wrist chronograph movement made by Omega in 1932 after the company had merged with Lemania and Tissot.

Within about a year of its release, Omega switched course and began introducing watches based on the larger Lemania caliber Omega 33.3 (Lemania 15CH/Tissot 5778) in 1933 which became Omega's first well-known chronograph caliber.

This robust and large caliber 33.3 was the predecessor to the famous caliber 321 (Lemania 2310) and the caliber 861, fitted to the Omega "moon watch" still used by NASA astronauts today.

Omega-Tissot:

In 1925, Omega and Tissot began an important association with each other. Shortly thereafter (in 1930 to be exact), the SSIH Holding Company (Societe Suisse pour l'Industrie Horlogere) was founded with Omega and Tissot as its first members. In the 1930's the two company's even sold certain watches branded both Omega and Tissot, like the very rare watch featured.

Note: Amelia Earhart was wearing an Omega caliber 28.9 when she disappeared during her transpacific crossing. And stainless steel examples were used by the commanders and pilots of the Italo Balbo air force who used them on trans-Atlantic crossings.

Detailed Appraisal:

Manufacturer: Omega - Tissot

Model: Caliber 33.3 / 5778 Chronograph

Functions: Hours, Minutes, Chronograph, Subsidiary Seconds

Case condition: It presents nicely on the wrist. It has one area where the metal has particularly oxided away around the edge of the case back between the lugs that can't be seen while it's being worn and is difficult to see at all with the band installed, and it has light aging under the lugs. Otherwise, the case presents very well. Its original-olive shaped pushers are in excellent condition.
