TISSOT presents a chronograph watch in its heritage line that celebrates its long sports timekeeping history. The Telemeter 1938 is the protagonist, featuring a distinctive vintage dial design.
Telemeter replica watches have special scales that allow you to measure the distance between the watch’s user and the lightning strike, for example when lightning strikes. A design commonly found in chronographs in vogue in the early to mid-20th century, the Tissot Telemeter 1938, as its name suggests, was directly inspired by its historical model.
The telemeter is displayed on the blue or gold color scale on the outside of the dial, and the tachymeter that can measure the average speed of a specific section is displayed on the red or gold color scale of the spiral in the center of the dial. It does not stop there, but makes it clear that it is a model that recalls the special heritage of Tissot with a long history of sports timekeeping. 1938 commemorates the historic year that Tissot started sports timekeeping in earnest by attending a ski competition at Villar sur Ollon in the foothills of the Swiss Alps.
The replica Tissot Telemeter 1938 is available in two color dials: silver and black. Common to both models, the stainless steel case has a diameter of 42mm and a thickness of 13.9mm, and is water resistant to 30m. A box-shaped sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating is inserted into the front of the case with a matte matte finish, contributing to the retro style of the entire watch.
In both models, the movement was equipped with an automatic chronograph caliber ETA A05.231. As it is a modified version of the Valjou 7753, a derivative of the Valjou 7750 series, a representative general-purpose automatic chronograph that has been proven for many years, you can expect strong and excellent operating stability. It shares the same base as the ETA A05.H31 previously used for the PRX automatic chronograph, etc., but the material of the balance spring is crucially different. It is equipped with a Nivachron™ hairspring, developed in collaboration with the high-end watchmaker Audemars Piguet by the Swatch Group. The titanium alloy-based Nivacron™ hairspring is resistant to temperature changes and shocks, and because it is a non-magnetic material, it is said to reduce the effect of magnetic fields on the movement by 10 to 20 times (however, Gaussian values are not specified). In addition, the power reserve has been slightly increased from 60 hours to 68 hours. This is an upgrade that users can feel and enjoy the robust structure of the movement through the see-through caseback.
Both versions of the Tissot Telemeter 1938, a silver dial (Ref. T142.462.16.032.00) and a black dial (Ref. T142.462.16.052.00), are presented as regular products rather than a limited edition, and the domestic release price is 2.7 million won each. has been set.
