In the late 60's, a friend of mine couldn't decide between a Tissot and a Speedmaster. The jeweler let him try the Tissot for the weekend. My friend went with the Speedmaster which he still has. It's mint.
Good choice !

Here’s some of mine...

I’m trying to build up info on Tissot on Chronopedia if anyone wants to help....it’s a big project! I’ve only done T12 so far. It’s here https://chronopedia.club/Tissot

I’m also looking for a new crystal for the bumper model in the pic. It’s a 1953 Starcase if anyone here can tell me the reference...I can’t find it anywhere online. Seems to be 29.1mm or 29.2mm high dome?

Tissot Seastar Alarm - interesting dial as normally labelled Sonorous but some issue with trade marking in Asia, so Alarm features on this. Makes a change from using the iPhone..

Thanks for your project but it's not the kind of activity that I was looking for currently.
Anyway, If I can help you with some pictures or informations shared here don't hesitate to ask.

For those of you who have a late-1960s Tissot Seastar (with the rally bracelet 😎), here is your chance to get the rare box that the watch came with:

The watch would have looked like this (from a 1969 catalog):

A new arrival!

On my wrist:


Thanks to the concerned OF member who reached out to point out this is a redial. I feel embarrassed for not being able to spot the signs. But thankful for the community we have here that looks after each other!

When I bought it I wasn’t sure if I would like wearing it, but the size is absolutely perfect, on of the watch I’m wearing the most those days!
