I can say that Tissot is my second favorite brand (the first is Cyma/Tavannes) and I'd like to introduce you my modest collection

 

Superb array, Luigi.

While I don't own many, I do like them, and believe that they often represent fine value in the market. Also, their early signature is my favorite of any manufacturer!

 

Awesome collection!

I've only got the one, and its from a later time period, but I love it:

 

Love these. Thanks for posting. Especially the two tone dials. Modern... I give them props for interesting affordable watches.

 

Sweet old Tissot's. They've aged elegantly.

 

I'm a fan. From various WRUW posts:

 

Beautiful collections!

 

Tissot made some fantastic watches in the thirties/forties and early fifties, and were never uninteresting later on. Some of their divers and chronographs of the late sixties/early seventies are fantastic. I have mostly earlier models and they are an amazing value proposition.






@bubba48 - you'll recognise this one which I'm currently wearing

 

amazing collection !

 

Tissot Museum asked me for my Hermetic...



...but I said NO!

 

Late 90s i quit my job whit alkohol and started my ventures as a antiquedealer,this meant visiting fleamarkets every week and living in Omegacountry(Sweden) Tissot was always considerd a second brand and normaly not more then 10 euros.The nos ones i did find whit old watchmakers.this are some of them sorry for bad photos.

 

The aquasport seams to be not sold in Scandinavia,only found one during 20 years.grateful if somebody have any information about this.

 

Beautiful watches Luigi, I particularly like the sector dial on the second one (Dibs! Although I know you'll never sell) and the one with the funny fat numerals (same as @ConElPueblo's).

That silver and black case is incredible, is that the "Hermetique" the museum wanted? Understandable for sure.

Tony, this one also is lovely!! (Dibs too!!)

 

The Aquasport model was launched in 1941 and lasted until 1945. Early ones used the caliber 17.5 family; later ones were from the caliber 27 family. Most were manual-wind movements with stainless steel, screwback cases.

 

Thanks for info, nead to check when i get home what cal this one is

 

Great collections! I only have one, a reissue of the visodate

That's a nice example. Looks like 30mm? I'll guess it's a variant on the 17.5 caliber. Is it missing its center second hand?

 

I think I could enjoy having a classic Tissot or two. Great thread with some really appealing watches featured.

 

yes secondhand is missing but remember it as aprox 32mm
Bought it a year and half ago because it was the first aquasport branded dial i bumpt in to,noticed Bubbas ex and had a flashback.
Will be interesting to se what cal it is. thx for info.
