      @HRM.1 it says 2824-2 on the base plate of the movement so it's a chronometer 2824-2 not a powermatic variant

    Purchased this watch a few weeks ago. In my case with the "anthracite" dial rather than the "salcon" model. Frankly, I was surprised that Tissot, a brand I have often dismissed as a "mall" watch and one known for the integrated PRX collection, would produce such a vintage design, much less a COSC certified chronometer. Yet there it was. and at an astonishing price to boot.
    My experience has been almost totally positive. As expected, it keeps excellent time, losing less than 2s a day on average. I would appreciate some minimal lume in the evening. But that would be out of keeping with its vintage vibe. And during the day or under artificial light it can be read at a glance. The stock brown leather strap in a pebble grain is attractive and flexible, but I felt that a smooth brown leather strap from Hirsch is more appropriate for the look of a watch from the 1930's. It's not a copy of a watch from that period, of course. If it were it would be considerably smaller than its 39mm diameter. But that's OK. It admirably reflects the spirit and feel of a watch that's been sitting in a drawer for 80 plus years . In short, I love it.

    This reminds me of my salmon dial Baltic MR01 when you put it on the beads of rice! Wish it was smaller. I love the 36mm case of the Baltic that wears larger because of the lack of taper in the bracelet.

    I can totally see why you got it. Never paid any attention to this watch until I was in store to check out the new gold PVD PRX, noticed both colour ways, asked to have a look at it and WOW! I shouldn’t wanna buy this watch as I feel it has a few very notable things I’d love to change - size, from 39mm to 38 ou even 37mm, and that annoyingly oversized “chronometer” text (not so sure about the font either) but… live, in person just feel like it’s such a sweet spot watch, I just love that very fine brushing on the case and that crown is the only onion crown I actually like. There’s just a refinement that’s surprising for a watch at this price, and COSC certified at that! Both colour ways are great but I’m inclined to go for the dark one…

    Another top video TWI. I'm quite a fan of Tissot watches, good, honest and reliable Swiss watches at a value price. This 1938 has flown so far under my radar it must have sat within the Earths mantle. It's certainly one that I'll consider in the future. I have to agree with the no date and the raised numerals add that extra interest in the dial. As you mention there are more details to the dial that initially come into view. The use of a COSC ETA2824 would also be my preferred movement. My brain says I have enough time only watches but my heart wants to see one in the flesh. Today on my wrist is my old crazy slim Nomos Luwig 36 small seconds that I've not worn for a few weeks (I had a G-Shock few days) that I find myself just looking at and then having to look at it again as I forgot to read the time, it wears more like a 39. Keep up the great work.

    • @thewatchidiot
      @thewatchidiot  Рік тому +2

      Thanks as always! Tissot and the value they consistently offer are great no doubt and I'm surprised that not many people are talking about this watch! This flew well under the radar for me as well i only saw 1 article about this watch but I'm glad I saw it!
      Yeah buying an extraawatch thats not needed is always a conundrum but it being a salmon dial and a cosc certified movement should hopefully make things easier lol! The Ludwig is an awesome watch, I used to have the 38mm Tangente back in the day so I agree that they always wore much bigger than the numbers would suggest! I wonder if they'd ever do a diver?

    I guess the only cosc certified chronometer movement only happened with the standard version of the 2824, but they could've just replaced the setting lever jumper to two positions jumper and the part just cost like 12usd to do so to each one, I hope this would be addressed in the future by Tissot 😅.

    This Tissot is quite similar to the one worn by actor Jimmy Stewart in the 1954 movie "Rear Window". I did a bit of research, and that watch was a Tissot 6440-3, and ine source I consulted said it was a 1947 watch. Certainly not exactly the same design as this new Heritage 1938, but the closest I've found yet.

    It was really nice, I liked it very much. However, for financial reasons, Bambio, which is sold at half the price, is more suitable for me. Of course, there was a separate negative prejudice towards the Tissot brand. He also has a contribution to this work. If it is going to make a digital watch, what have other watch brands with brand value done? I wish he would take a look.. Example Hamilton PSR digital quartz watch.. Anyway, thank you VERY much for the video. Good luck

    I bought one five days ago. Well, it is really a good looking watch, but I have noticed one problem. The minute hand is not exact on the minute mark when the seconds hand reaches the 12 mark. Between 12 and 6, the minute hand is almost correctly aligned on the minutes marks when seconds hand reaches the 12 mark. Between 6 and 12 the alignment of the minute hand is not OK. I will contact tissot customer's service hoping for a solution.
