Offered for auction is a highly attractive and collectible vintage Tissot Automatic Bull’s Eye, a beautiful mid-century Swiss timepiece from one of the most respected names in horology.

This watch captures everything collectors love about early automatic watches: elegant proportions, a beautifully aged dial, classic design, and the fascinating engineering of a vintage bumper automatic movement.

The watch features a well-balanced 34 mm stainless steel case, an ideal vintage size with excellent wrist presence and timeless proportions. The design remains refined and versatile, suitable for both collectors and daily wear.

Its standout feature is the stunning silver-grey Bull’s Eye dial, showcasing a distinctive two-tone circular layout that gives the watch exceptional depth and character. Combined with applied Arabic numerals, elegant hands, and a small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock, the dial delivers a truly iconic vintage aesthetic. The natural aging and patina add further charm and authenticity.

Inside beats a genuine Swiss Tissot automatic bumper movement, one of the most fascinating early automatic systems.

Story & Heritage

Founded in 1853 in Le Locle, Switzerland, Tissot has built a remarkable reputation for producing innovative, reliable, and elegant Swiss watches.

During the 1940s and 1950s, Tissot was among the pioneers in automatic wristwatch development. The brand’s bumper automatic movements represented a major technical step forward, bridging the gap between hand-wound watches and the fully automatic systems we know today.

Bull’s Eye dials are especially admired among collectors because of their unique visual appeal and strong vintage personality. Their concentric dial design creates depth and elegance while remaining highly legible and unmistakably classic.

This Tissot Automatic Bull’s Eye perfectly represents that golden era of Swiss watchmaking—where design, craftsmanship, and mechanical innovation came together in a truly timeless way.

A beautiful opportunity to acquire a rare and charming vintage Swiss automatic watch from one of horology’s most historic brands.
