Heritage

The catalogue's most classic chapter, with vintage-inspired proportions and aesthetics

Line History

Heritage is the line through which Revue Thommen brings a classic watchmaking aesthetic back into its contemporary catalogue, far from the more markedly instrumental forms of the Airspeed or the Diver: clean dials, cases of more modest diameter compared to today's sporty standards, applied indices and finishes that evoke mid-20th-century Swiss wristwatches, the period when the brand, under the "Revue" name, was consolidating its civilian watch production alongside its military instruments.

The line's base model offers a 41 mm steel case, often also available in a rose-gold-plated version, with a three-hand dial and date, an automatic movement, and a transparent case back that reveals the caliber's finishing — a detail that underlines the mechanical component of the watch even in its most formal executions. The dial colors, from blue to green to red, broaden the offering without straying from the line's elegant, measured character.

Part of the Heritage catalogue also offers GMT variants, fitted with the automatic Sellita SW330-1 caliber and an additional hand for a second time zone: a useful function that coexists with the line's vintage aesthetic, demonstrating how Revue Thommen tends to combine a classic design language with practical solutions meant for contemporary everyday use rather than for historical contemplation alone.

Fun Fact

In 1947 Revue Thommen also added the mechanical alarm watch "Cricket" to its production, born from an agreement with manufacturer Vulcain: a model that, between the 1950s and the 1980s, was gifted to several United States presidents, from Harry Truman onward, becoming known as "the president's watch" — a curious episode that intertwines the brand's history with that of postwar American diplomacy.
