Beautiful newest chronograph reissue, this time by Tissot

I would have preferred a 40mm or 38mm case, but the dial and case profile are spot on, love the vintage logo without the year too. Any thoughts? For a...

The black is nice, but I would totally choose yours over the black one. If a Zenith El Primero and a Sinn 103 St had a child, it would be your watch! Beautiful piece! 😉

You are absolutely right. I have tried that Tissot on in the past, and it's an amazing vintage inspired racing chronograph, but it's just too big 😕

I like smaller watches (36 to 40mm), so when I see anything (but a Prospex) that is over 40mm, I instantly find too big for my taste.

With this particular Tissot, I tried it on and the lugs were just too close to overhang, so it would not be a smart purchase for me, especially now that I have acquired a taste during the years for smaller watches. But it's definitely a looker, I would totally recommend this watch to anybody that feels comfortable with its size.

Your Mathey Tissot chronograph is simply gorgeous!

I agree, dial size and also lug to lug are the key dimensions to know if a watch is right for you, according to your taste.

Nodus is a pretty cool microbrand, and your watch looks really well made. Congrats and enjoy it!

That's a good question. The dial and hands are a joy to look at. Even the crown has an appealing design.
