Object description

Dial and Hands

The watch features a cream to sepia-toned dial signed 'Tissot ANTIMAGNETIQUE' below 12 o'clock and marked 'SWISS MADE' along the lower edge. It is configured with applied gilt Arabic numerals at the even positions (12, 2, 4, 8, 10) interspersed with round gilt dot indexes at the odd hours, tracked by slim gilt leaf-style hour and minute hands.

Positioned directly above 6 o'clock is a recessed subsidiary seconds dial featuring Arabic numerals at 15, 30, 45, and 60, surrounded by an outer track. The seller lists the dial specification as 'Gilt Gloss/Cream' with a 'recessed sub-seconds dial at 6 o'clock'.

Evidence for this section

Case and Bracelet Construction

The timepiece is housed in a stainless steel case measuring 33mm in width with a lug width of 18mm and a lug-to-lug height stated as 41mm. The dial is covered by a Plexiglass crystal, and the right case flank carries a fluted winding crown at the 3 o'clock position.

Fitted between the lugs is a multi-row stainless steel beads-of-rice style bracelet, which the listing notes accommodates an approximate wrist size of 190mm.

Movement and Reference Identification

The internal mechanism is not visible in the provided wrist photograph. The vendor reports that the watch is powered by a manual-wind mechanical caliber 27.1T containing 15 jewels, with the power reserve listed as unknown.

The piece is catalogued under the dual reference designation '6702-1 - 6701' and assigned an approximate date of the 1940s ('1940s (Approx)'). No movement or case serial numbers are recorded in the source to independently corroborate this production dating.

Evidence for this section
  • “Calibre 27.1T”
  • “Jewels 15”
  • “Winding Manual”
  • “Movement Type Mechanical”
  • “Power Reserve Unknown”
  • “Model Ref 6702-1 - 6701”
  • “Date of Issue 1940s (Approx)”

Open research questions

  • What specific reference and serial stamps are engraved on the inside or exterior of the case back to clarify the dual designation '6702-1 - 6701'?
  • Does the movement's serial number allow for a precise dating within Tissot's 1940s manufacturing records?
  • Is the beads-of-rice bracelet an original Tissot-signed component or a later period-style addition?
