Am in Paris and enjoyed spending half a day at Galleries Lafayette. And I put one of the gilt ones on! And it is - gorgeous! Just the most delightful on wrist presence with my 8 inch wrist. Went in to look at Breitling, came out thunderstruck with the Tissot. Will let them get further into the market but will be moving my 1973 Heritage Tissot chrono on in favor of this one!
Really love what Tissot is doing. Reminds me of Omega telemeter. I may have commented on this already, but there is just something about this watch that captivates me.
Now this is another Tissot chronograph that I want to see in the flesh at the AD when they are available. The last time I did this was when I looked at the PRX chrono that took some months to arrive at the AD.... and I walked out with the silver dial Panda version... after paying of course. Tissot was my first dipping of the toe into mainstream Swiss watches many years ago and they still make great watches with new models both modern and classic designs. Certainly the PRX gave the market a well deserved kick. Well done Tissot! Keep up the great work.
Stunning Watch. The only reason i'd hold off is because I already own two Tissot's and this year I've bought a brand new Longines Hydroconquest and an Omega Speedmaster and they need wrist time before I consider another. Tissot is on another level. Makes no sense to buy any other brand at this price point. This Telemeter eats Oris Big Crown for lunch
Teddy you alwys do a great job with the specs on watches. thats why i subscribed and watch so many of your videos as a watch lover. This watch also has a very important feature for todays wearer and its Nivachron balance spring, "Because the magnetic fields generated by our electronic objects (mobile phone, computer, radio, magnetic closure, etc.) are ever more present in our daily lives, Tissot has developed a new, titanium-based alloy at the cutting edge to preserve the precision of its watches. A Nivachron™ balance spring is regarded as far more resistant to and unaffected by magnetic fields than standard springs"
Love the watch. I had been waiting since you mentioned on instagram a few month back. I did my first order with you for the black version the same day that was for sale. Arrived quickly and no issues. This watch has my style. Loving it!😎👍
One of my dream watch is Breitling premier B09 but couldnt afford it yet. Yesterday was window shopping some watch boutiques and saw this watch. Looks gorgeous in person rather than pictures. Looks close enough from B09 for me. I know theres rule “dont buy other watch to scratch the itch” but its a long way to b09 for me. And im happy to settle with this Tissot for now
Wow really love these Tissot chronographs and yeah I think they look pretty original and obviously at a good price point. Except the branding, I think you could actually compare it to a Breitling Premier which is like 4 times the price. Great video teddy!
Or you can have them both like I do with the original Dan Henry 1939 that is now completely sold. Not the second run version which is a bit brown "ish". Yuck.
I think the Tissot Telemeter in the black/gold and then a Junghans Telemeter would be a perfect combo. In fact just got the first half of this equation, working on the second.
I would love to see a side-by-side of this watch and the new Longines Heritage Record. They look extremely similar with Longines being 40mm and a bit more wearable I suppose
I was excited when this was first announced, but 42mm is just a no-go. Extremely disappointed it wasn't around the same size as the Janeiro Z199. 38 or 39mm would've been perfect, imho.
Nice looking watch and agree that the white dial has better visibility. Not sure the spiral tachometer scale, as it really complicates the center of the dial and interacts with the two sub chapter dials. In this watch the vintage look overwhelms its functionality. I do like that it is a no date dial, though, so that's a plus over the PRX Chrono dial. Nice exhibition back to showcase the movement.
I'm glad it's 42mm. On my 19.5 cm wrist, 38 mm would look like a women's watch. I mean look at the Cartier Tank on M.Ali's wrist. Looks like a children's watch. On the other hand, I understand that most people seem to have smaller wrists. Therefore every manufacturer should produce two sizes of each model. 👍😀
@@juniorjohnson5961 around 6.25/15.9cm...the absolute maximum lug-to-lug I enjoy wearing is around 47mm so this watch with over 50mm lug-to-lug is too much...I know it's not all about the numbers and I try to wear watches first before making a final decision, but there are limits to my tiny wrist haha.
@@natusMCMII I agree. The lug to lug is the key. If there’re gaps under the strap/bracelet and/or the lugs overhang, then I feel like watch wearing me, not vice versa. A watch is a tool, not the wearer:)
Any thoughts on this vs the Omega chronoscope? I already have the speedy Hesalite and like Omega as a brand but the tissot comes in at a much lower price point!
@@nicholasolifant9538 Bruh. Tissot was 70+ years early with the design. This is simply a modern version of a watch from their archives. Dan Henry has no history and bases all of their own watches on the design of different historical timepieces. Such as this Tissot. Just lookin at Dan Henry's offerings i see replicas of vintage Omegas, Bulovas, Longines, Zenith and more.
The black and gold dial is just spectaculor and matches my bottle of Aberfeldy 16! Teddy, you're responsible for me picking up both this and the latest blue face, brown leather strap Chemin des Tourelles. I'm going to have to unfollow you before my other half finds out!
Would love if you could mention strap or bracelet measurements. I have a 19.80cm wrist, and I can't tell you how disappointing it is to order a watch, wait and wait, only to find out it doesn't fit. PLEASE HELP TEDDY! (many Tissot's bracelets don't fit me)
Aaron. I have a 20cm wrist and had one on yesterday in Paris at the massive watch displays at Galleries Lafayette. I put on the black and gilt one, with the tan leather strap. It fit very well. It has the usual superb Tissot butterfly clasp and was not in the largest slot. So it should fit you nicely. One thing that small handed people, (talking about you Teddy,) don’t get is that the “throw” of a clasp may not fit over a large hand. That is, it may fit your wrist perfectly but you still cannot get it over your big hands. This one is fine. As I said in my comment, I think my 70s style Tissot chrono may need to move on in favor of one of these.
Yep - right down to the available dial colours. I've got the 1939 silver dial and the similarities are startling. (I'm aware the look comes from way back (www.timeline.watch/watch/ardor-watch-chronographe/), but even so...
Make it 40mm across. Get rid of the winding mechanism and do a manually wound movement with a case less than 13mm thick overall. Keep the lug to lug at 47mm or less. I got very excited when I saw the pic but as soon as he said 42mm I lost it. This could had been a hit, but commercial design and thinking win once again. Companies should look at the success Tudor has had with the BB 58 and 39mm Pelagos where people are lining up for buying and learn something. Yes I get that Tissot and all companies should make bigger watches with cheap available movements and no modifications to keep things cheaper and maximize profit, but anything labeled a "heritage" piece maybe should be "heritage" designed, just saying.
I really enjoy what Tissot has on offer with this release. Strangely, the font of the logo is a sticking point, and doesn't allow my eye to fully appreciate the dials' other features as a result.
Had 1939 and 1945 Tissot 6216 pieces with Lemania CH27 column wheel. The real thing. This one in the vid looks good but misses the essential : 84 years of age. "Heritage" is not something I have warmed to yet, real vintage yes. Waves my 1963 165.024.
The black dial is stunning! But 42mm?!!! Imagine this in 36mm!!!! Too bad all theses watch companies are stuck in the large and heavy watch dimensions…
Can anyone recommend similar automatic watches with a similar design to the Tissot Telemeter 1938 Heritage in the $2-$4k USD price range ? I really really like this Tissot but wanted to consider some alternatives before I buy.
Absolutely love the black face (errr...dial) version. It reminds me of the new Omega Speedmaster Chronoscope. I personally prefer the blue dial (and of course Omega in general) but the Omega is close to 5 times as much. Pretty easy choice on a budget.
That's what I've been saying but No One listened. The Longines is Smaller but this One is $1000 less whether Retail or Gray market. And Since Longines Refused to put in a Colomn Wheel at $3k....it's a No Brainer between the 2 !
@highwaystar3780 I wouldn't buy either one of them, I've heard a lot of tissot chronograph have misaligned large second hands.. Idk if it's true on a large scale, but I've heard ppls complain et seen it on a few videos.
@gaelamerijckx it can happen with any Brand, But yeah it's a Mass Production Product and I believe it. I have One Tissot...a Worldtimer and I live it. It's unique!

The wrist size in photo is 7.6 …. Thats above average. Teddy says this would work on his wrist but doesn’t show a photo. If I’m correct he has a smaller size wrist. Why not show both of you make the claim it can work?

I love that old Tissot word mark, classic
Very handsome watch, specially with the black dial . . . IMHO! 😍
Thanks for doing this one! I've had my eye on the black dial for a little bit.
Gorgeous black and gold! Dan Henry makes a compelling alternative if this price is out of reach.

@@j.t.3739 Well done you JT! Outstanding editions to the collection!
Outstanding design and execution.Beautiful as a dress watch ,but can also do duty as an explorer substitute.
This is on my list of watches to acquire this year. The black/gold rings my bell….
Simply stunning watch. I dig that vintage vibe, even the Patek vibe that I get from it, doesn't bother me.
Sweet. I have a big wrist, and love this. Time to tell the wife. Tissot nailing it.
39 mm, manual wind, 20 mm lug with, and you have a winner. Pushers looks great; crown needs some work.
I really like this one, especially the black dial variant.
Tissot and Hamilton have been crushing it lately. This Chrono has a good vintage vibe but it’s kind of large idk if I could fit this on my wrist.
38mm would be amazing and an instant buy from me 🙏😍
I think the Tissot Telemeter in the black/gold and then a Junghans Telemeter would be a perfect combo. In fact just got the first half of this equation, working on the second.
Beautiful watch…nice to see them re-release this. I just wish it were a little smaller.
Love the old school aesthetic.
I would love to see a side-by-side of this watch and the new Longines Heritage Record. They look extremely similar with Longines being 40mm and a bit more wearable I suppose
And the Certina DS Chronograph
I wonder what's the corelation between this and Omega 33.3 ???
Looks exactly the same
Looks like Longines made better sizing with their new Record Heritage Chrono. Hope to see that watch review here soon
I was excited when this was first announced, but 42mm is just a no-go. Extremely disappointed it wasn't around the same size as the Janeiro Z199. 38 or 39mm would've been perfect, imho.
Teddy drinking game: “lean in” = one shot; “speaks to” = two shots.
I have the Janeiro and Limited Heritage 2009 chronograph, I love them both, this one is not bad, but too big for this type of watch
Both stunning watches!
Top review. Beautiful time piece.
I have the powermatic 80 PRX green dial,..love it, great price too.
Very interested in this watch, glad they have made this release
This is a Tissot that look like a Longines. Very cool, better than the PRX chrono that is too big.

Not sure the spiral tachometer scale, as it really complicates the center of the dial and interacts with the two sub chapter dials. In this watch the vintage look overwhelms its functionality. I do like that it is a no date dial, though, so that's a plus over the PRX Chrono dial. Nice exhibition back to showcase the movement.
When Teddy says affordable, I have to start adding a zero to set expectations.
I'm indecisive between this and the Max Bill Chronoscope. 7750 vs 7753 but very different looks. Any feedback?
I'm glad it's 42mm. On my 19.5 cm wrist, 38 mm would look like a women's watch. I mean look at the Cartier Tank on M.Ali's wrist. Looks like a children's watch. On the other hand, I understand that most people seem to have smaller wrists. Therefore every manufacturer should produce two sizes of each model. 👍😀
What bracelet does one wear with the black on? Two toned jubilee ?
sadly too big for me, this in a slimmer and smaller (let's say around 38mm) case would be very classy
What size wrist do you have ? I have 6,75 in. Wrist and for a long time i thought 42 mm. Was too big but bought Glycine Combat Sub fits very well 👍

Hey Teddy, you should do wrist check on the watches you’re wearing
Teddy, please do the Eterna Telemeter?
Never liked Tissot but i love this watch
This dark version looks a lot like a bigger Tissot Janeiro.
Any thoughts on this vs the Omega chronoscope? I already have the speedy Hesalite and like Omega as a brand but the tissot comes in at a much lower price point!
Hola, buenas tardes aquí en Chile, consulta: su canal en español , está funcionando??
Waiting for a PRX automatic 35mm. Any news on the subject? Cheers.
Hey Teddy, what are you wearing?
Love the look of this watch? Too pricey? I'd check out the Dan Henry 1930s style Chronograph.
Silver for me because I’m going to put it on a mesh bracelet
i hope they can make a 38 mm version of these. i would buy without second thought
Valuewise? 5 years from now. Good to invest?
Dam it looks like a dan Henry 🤯 teddy do a comparison video it will be so GOOD great review 👌⌚😉😊🇿🇦🤙🤙🤙

Is 19.4cm wrist considered small?
no…around 17cm is average. With a 19.4cm wrist, you should be able to pull off 42mm watches with ease
Everyone and their dog has reviewed the Tudor Pelagos 39 now, except Teddy! What's up with that???
Excellent video
Is the crown screw or normal crown?
I guess I've never seen an entry Valjoux caliber in a case under 42mm, but I wish there was an offering that would bring it down at most to 40mm.
