At 12 o’clock we have the Tissot motif with “T.12” underneath and at 6 o’clock “Automatic Visodate” completes this vintage timepiece. On the reverse a screw-down case back with the Tissot ship engraved into it, inside an automatic Tissot Cal. 28.5R-621, 17 jewels, beating at 19,800 beats per hour, this movement was in production from 1952 until 1962. The watch comes paired with its original 19mm Tissot Sprung stainless steel bracelet with a signed folding clasp.
Extra Points
The Swiss luxury watch company Tissot from Le Locle, Switzerland, was established in 1853 by Charles Félicien Tissot and his son Charles-Emile. Under Charles-Emile’s direction, they manufactured pocket watches with parts from Russia and the United States. In 1915, the company began producing wristwatches. Between 1920 and 1977, Tissot produced its own movements. In 1930 to survive the 1929 crash and economic crisis they entered into an agreement with Omega to form the SSIH Group which 53 years later became the Swatch Group.
The watch comes fully serviced by our on-site workshop and with our 12 months, non-waterproof service cover.
