This is a remarkable Tissot chronograph watch from the 1940s, featuring a Lemania Cal. 15TL movement. It boasts a black gilt two-tone dial in a 37.5mm oversized stainless steel case. The beautiful glossy black two-tone dial is a design unique to that era, with a tachymeter scale (in brown) and a minutes track (in white) that add to its charm. This timepiece is equipped with the renowned Lemania Cal. 15TL movement, which was also supplied to Omega watches of the same era, showcasing Tissot's high design aesthetics and quality typical of that time.
A distinctive feature of this watch is the "FAB.SUISSE" inscription on the dial, created through a special process, and the "FAB.SUISSE" marking on the movement, making it a rare find. The case is primarily engraved with "W Suisse," indicating it was likely originally shipped to France at that time.
