Pleasingly large at 37mm without the crown with olive shaped pushers and a multicolor dial, in many ways this watch is the quintessential early pre-war Omega chronograph. Except what makes this watch particularly rare is the fact that it is double-signed, signed both Omega and Tissot. Its fabulous multiscale dial has a red outer tachometer ring that measures the speed of objects, done especially for aviation and racing uses and a blue telemeter scale for easily calculating the distance of phenomena that can be both seen and heard, such as munitions blasts and thunderclaps. It also has 1/5 markings for very precise timing for technical and sporting uses. 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. Starting nearly 20 years ago, aided by the popular Omegamania, Omega signed caliber 33.3 chronographs dramatically increased in collectability. Our Omega-Tissot presents very nicely on the wrist. Its case 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. The silver dial, with gold numbers, red outer tachometer scale and blue telemeter scale shows some aging but still presents well. It has a true vintage look. Please inquire if you would like it restored. One of our Master Watchmakers has disassembled it down to its last screw and cleaned and oiled it and installed a new correct stem. We have timed it on a machine that spins the watch in all directions simulating it being worn on the wrist and it is keeping time within approx. one second per hour. For the finishing touch, it comes equipped with a black textured leather strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment. Available to pair with it is an uncommon period Tissot box. Please inquire if you're interested. A couple of very fine dual-signed Omega - Tissot chronographs...

Watches in the Tudor line, apart from the fact that they utilize ebauche movements, are similar to those of Rolex in design and construction. When Rolex launched the Tudor brand in 1945, they strongly intended that the public perception of its quality had to equal that of Rolex. To achieve this lofty aim, until the mid-1990's, Tudor watches featured Rolex cases and crowns, and, until 1971, Rolex bracelets. An advertisement in Britain's Horological Journal in vintage times stated that Tudor's were, "Manufactured under strict Rolex supervision and bear the Rolex label of guarantee." Today's offering showcases this Certified Pre-Owned Tudor Prince Oysterdate ref. 7966 in uncommon 18K gold. In the vintage era, 18K gold Tudors occupy a uniquely uncommon position, particularly when the model in question is not a formal dress watch but a robust, Oyster-cased sports reference such as the Tudor Prince Oysterdate. Tudor was conceived as Rolex’s tool-watch counterpart—engineered for durability, value, and everyday wear—so the overwhelming majority of Prince Oysterdate production was executed in steel or steel-and-gold. Solid 18K cases ran counter to the brand’s practical ethos and were produced only in very small numbers, often for specific markets, like certain parts of Europe and Asia or special retailer driven commissions. Tudor did not actively promote solid-gold sports Oysters the way Rolex did with Day-Dates or gold Submariners decades later. As a result, surviving examples represent an unusual convergence of Tudor’s purposeful DNA with the material language of haute horology: the reassuring weight and warmth of solid gold paired with a case design originally intended for daily, active use. This tension—luxury metal wrapped around a watch meant to be worn, not protected—gives 18K non-dress Tudors a quiet rarity and a character that feels far more intentional and historically revealing than a conventional gold dress watch. Patterned after the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date, one of the company's staple models, it is thinner and of course a bit more affordable than its Rolex sibling. However, it has two more desirable features than its Rolex siblin - it is thinner and a bit more affordable than its Rolex sibling and shares the same diameter. It also has a semi quick-setting date, something that its more expensive sibling didn't even have. And interestingly, the fact this Tudor is 18K gold makes it far rarer than an 18K Rolex Oyster...

About The Rolex GMT-Master Ref. 1675: The Rolex GMT-Master ref. 1675 is one of the defining vintage Rolex sport watch references. Introduced around 1959 and produced until around 1980, the 1675 became known for its rotating 24-hour bezel, additional GMT hand, and connection to international aviation and travel. The model was originally developed for pilots and travelers who needed to track a second time zone. Early 1960s examples such as this circa 1964 watch are especially desirable for their pointed crown guard case profile, gilt chapter ring dial, plastic crystal, aluminum Pepsi bezel insert, and period riveted Oyster bracelet. This example features a faded red-back Pepsi insert with the red tone aged toward orange / amber, giving the watch a distinctive vintage appearance. This GMT-Master offers a strong combination of period details and documentation, including its black gilt chapter ring dial, faded red-back Pepsi insert, pointed crown guard case, visible lug chamfers, original outer box, chronometer paperwork with matched movement serial number, Rolex brochure, and period Rolex 7206 riveted bracelet...
