Description:
The reference 6216-7 from TISSOT was one of the top products of its time. The screwed stainless steel case with round, formerly watertight pushers, the high-quality movement LEMANIA Cal. C27H-41 with shock protection, all this characterizes the TISSOT from 1945 and raises it above many chronographs from other manufacturers that did not offer these features. The movement was manufactured by OMEGA under the designation Cal. 321 under the toughest test for the Moonwatch and was the best chronograph movement of its time. All in all, such watches are rarely found today in this unmodified original condition.
