Enjoying 11 pages of Tissot eye-candy. Now I almost feel ashamed to show mine. But I just like it so much.
Bought it as a travel watch for travels outside Europe, to have peace of mind in terms of criminality, and it turned out to excede all my expectations. It runs 0.5 sec/day.

Late '60's (I think) Seastar Alarm with AS 1465 movement (I think) - was known as the Sonorous in most markets but evidently that term was already trademarked in the Asia Pacific so 'Alarm' featured on the dial. Others I'm sure will know more as I really bought this on a whim and haven't done any background work on it yet...


And I have just doubled my Tissot 'collection' with this Seastar 3 dial panda chrono; I know that it uses the Lemania 1277 movement but again, some research to be done - but just think it looks cool in the meantime...

A Mathey-Tissot from the '40's - radium dial and hands have aged in an interesting way...

Not a Tissot, but nice! 😀

True - but Tissot features on the dial in addition to the movement so hopefully was close enough to be credible!

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 😉

I love the Tissot with sector dial

A Dennison made Tissot from late 40s, haven’t seen many Tissot cases made by Dennison. Do we have any more of them here on the forum? 😀
