1950's Tissot world time

**musical5** · 01-19-2012 05:25 PM

I have an opportunity to pick one up. My question is......While setting the center country wheel, should the hands also be moving? I can get the watch to set just the time by using the top button. Is there an issue with this piece?

It even handles the 1/2 hour India time zone!

I think I may have explained the watches behavior backwards :) Still need an answer asap.

Really cool watch

Something I found on google,

"When you depress the upper button, this engages the inner turning dial section allowing you calibrate the dial to the country you are situated"

So is it possible that if you decide to switch country using the center wheel that it would automatically move the hands also to the time for that zone, just an observation hope it helps.

The pusher also looks a little short compared to others on the web so maybe this could also be causing a problem. Just do a google images search using "1950's Tissot world time" and you will see some nice pics for comparisson.

Thanks Richard.

The pusher is not 100% cosmetically, but it functions fine. I cant believe I cant find a video showing someone using this watch. I wish I had the thing in front of me right now, so I could see if the hands were chasing the center wheel. Argh!
