The Tissot Heritage 1973 (ref. t1244271603101) is an automatic chronograph watch, with a 43mm stainless steel case, 14.8mm thick, powered by the Valjoux movement and a 60-hour power reserve. Water resistance is rated to 100m, under a sapphire crystal. Manufacturer MSRP is $2,575. The dial color is silver.
The Tissot Heritage 1973 is widely praised for its faithful vintage aesthetic, featuring a tonneau or cushion case with contrasting finishes and a panda dial with orange accents. Owners and reviewers alike appreciate its compelling remake of a 1970s racing watch, with some specifically noting the attractive dial and case curves. The watch is powered by the ETA 7753 automatic chronograph movement, offering a 60-hour power reserve. However, some find its 43mm or 44mm diameter to be large-wearing, and one owner reported difficulty setting the date and a chronograph reset that is consistently one second off. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner noting 10-15 seconds per day. The radial brushed case finish, while visually appealing, is noted as being prone to scratches that are difficult to polish out. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Tissot Heritage 1973 highly for its tempting value and credible vintage racing style.
