Tissot Heritage 1938 COSC Chronometer | Full Set | Near Mint | Complete with Warranty Card

Offered for sale is this beautiful Tissot Heritage 1938 COSC Chronometer, presented as a complete full set and in outstanding near mint condition.

The Heritage 1938 is one of Tissot's most understated modern classics. Drawing inspiration from the elegant wristwatches of the late 1930s, it blends vintage proportions, warm gilt accents, and modern Swiss engineering into a watch that looks equally at home with jeans or a sport coat.

Unlike many heritage-inspired pieces that simply borrow the styling, this model backs it up with serious mechanical credentials. Inside beats the COSC-certified ETA 2824-2 automatic movement, individually tested and certified as a true Swiss chronometer. That distinction is reserved for movements meeting stringent Swiss standards for precision, making this far more than just another three-hand dress watch.

The rich charcoal dial applied gilt Arabic numerals, cathedral-inspired handset, oversized onion crown, and warm brown leather strap create a timeless aesthetic that recalls the golden era of Swiss watchmaking without sacrificing modern reliability.

Even better, this example is offered as a complete set, including the original presentation box, manuals, hang tag, COSC medallion, and stamped warranty card.

As part of my inspection process, the watch was tested on a professional multifunction timegrapher and is performing beautifully.
