Tissot has long provided us with some outstanding and beautiful wristwatches from the 1930s up to the late 1960s.
This example offered is a fairly uncommon coin edge case design, measured by the wider "flat" bezel and low profile crystal, providing an elegant look, which tucked under a smart cuff, looking very discreet.
The watch has a gorgeous two ton sector dial with cream and taupe colour, and egg yolk aged lume. The hands are blue steel with luminous. The subdial has art deco style numbers.
The movement is signed correctly, and is in good working condition having recently been serviced.
The case has fixed spring bars.
