Omega/Tissot
Mar 16, 2017,09:05 AM
Ttissot was founded in Le Locle in 1853 and joined the Omega family in 1930. Tissot used to be seen as a more down market cousin of Omega. Both brands are, of course, now part of the Swatch Group, As it is the movement, dial etc that needs service, I guess that the Omega service faciiity would do it. Possible that they might still have a replacement Omega case available to make it a complete Omega?

Several models / movements existed branded both Omega and Tissot. So parts was interchangeable. From the look of this one my guess would be someone took a Omega dial/movement and put in a Tissot case. Best Blomman
So is it a franken watch or?

IMHO. I had the experience to acquire a set of watches and sent to my watchmaker. One of this set was similar to yours. No worth the maintenance costs and I moved it to the parts bin. Cheers, Nilo
