📽️ video available after the pictures

A superb and rare example of a Tissot Antimagnetique Mens Watch measuring approx 34mm excluding the crown (quite large for the time as most of these are around 31mm)

the serial dates it back to being manufactured in 1944, there is little doubt around the intended military purpose of this watch. featuring the fixed lugs, this one is more then a "military style", but definitely a military execution! it only wasn't issued because there are no military inscriptions on the dial or on the caseback.

Featuring a stark black dial with radium filled numerals, beautiful railway minute division and the corresponding wide double pencil hands it was intended to keep the wearer on time in the murkiest of conditions.  Surprisingly the dial has survived in excellent condition over its life. The hands are in good condition with most of the original lume stil present. Look also at the authentic hand of the seconds register!!

Like most military watches of the time the Tissot signed case is chromeplated steel and in excellent original condition. The movement is securely held with the original retention ring and the Crown winds/sets the time well. Fixed lugs, of course, in true military fashion. 

Powered by the all original Tissot Calibre 27. The movement is a 15 Jewel, manual wind. The movement runs well, keeping time .
