Hey OF,

I would like to share my new incoming - a tissot with a bumper movement.
Gold filled case. A pity the case back condition is not fantastic but overall a sweet little piece. I forgot to take a photo of the inside of the case back but it is signed tissot and has 2077 inscribed on the case back.

I would also like to take this opportunity to ask the esteemed members what calibre is this running on and also how do I estimate the date of production? I do understand tissot and omega formed an alliance in the past and tissot took the omega bumper movement on their watches.

 

Nice pickup! Based on the serial number, your watch movement was born in 1946 and the caliber looks like Tissot's 28.5-21. The caliber number will be etched in a spot just below the balance wheel.

 

Very nice watch.
My bumpers say hello

 

Thanks! Guess I will have to open the watch again to see the balance wheel

Is there a resource I can run a check on the serial number ?

 

Lovely condition! I think it’s still under rated. We are getting an omega bumper movement for less.

 

Yes there are several. Here's one: http://www.elitetimepieces.com/tissotref.html

 

Thanks for sharing!
