Description from the seller
Tissot Vintage Small Seconds – Art Deco Dial – Manual Wind – 1950s
---
DESCRIPTION
Elegant vintage Tissot gentleman’s wristwatch from the 1950s, featuring a beautifully proportioned silver-tone dial, distinctive Art Deco-inspired numerals and a charming small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock.
This classic Swiss timepiece captures the refined aesthetic of mid-20th-century watchmaking, combining understated elegance with traditional mechanical craftsmanship.
The attractive silver dial features alternating stylised Arabic numerals and triangular hour markers with warm copper-toned accents, complemented by slender gold-tone hands. The recessed small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock displays a distinctive crosshair design, adding character and visual balance to the composition.
The watch is housed in a classic 34.2 mm round case with elegant, individually shaped lugs and a polished silver-tone finish. Its timeless proportions make it a particularly versatile vintage dress watch.
Inside beats a traditional Swiss manual-winding mechanical movement, signed "CH. F. TISSOT & FILS – LOCLE", with the characteristic Tissot-signed winding wheel. The movement is illustrated in the photographs, allowing collectors to appreciate its traditional Swiss construction.
The watch is fitted with a black leather strap featuring a crocodile-style texture, completing its sophisticated vintage appearance.
An attractive example of traditional Tissot watchmaking, combining a distinctive dial, classic mid-century styling and the charm of a mechanical movement.

CONDITION
Very good vintage condition, considering its age.
The watch presents an attractive overall appearance, with natural signs of age and use consistent with a timepiece dating back approximately seven decades.
The silver dial retains its distinctive vintage character, showing some light patina, small marks and minor ageing around the outer minute track. The case displays normal surface scratches and signs of wear, without detracting significantly from its elegant appearance.
The mechanical movement is in working order.
Please note that the caseback is a period replacement bearing Omega markings (reference "2658-6"), rather than the original Tissot caseback. This is a historical replacement of the rear cover and does not affect the operation of the Tissot mechanical movement.
The black leather strap shows some signs of previous use but complements the watch beautifully.
As with any vintage mechanical watch, water resistance is not guaranteed.
Please examine the photographs carefully, as they form an integral part of the description and accurately illustrate the condition of the watch.
