Gents 1952 Tissot bumper automatic wristwatch
A gents 1952 Tissot bumper automatic wrist watch.
The watch has the 28.5 T-21 bumper automatic movement which is working nicely. This movement is incredibly similar to the Omega bumper movements of the same period. In fact, in 1930, Tissot and Omega formed an alliance as a multi-national holding company under the banner of the SSIH (Société Suisse pour l’Industrie Horlogère SA). The formation was in response to the international economic crisis that had ensued following the Wall Street crash the previous year. The collaboration enabled Tissot and Omega to pool resources and produce a complete range of watches.
Early automatic watches such as this one relied on the rotor ‘bumping’ backwards and forwards between two springs to maintain the power within the movement. Later automatic watches have the fully rotational bi-directional rotor.
The movement is signed with the Tissot name and the serial number 2,720,294 dates it back to 1952.
The watch itself measures 34mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is stainless steel and it is in very nice condition. The winding crown is signed with the Tissot name, as is the case back… it also states that the watch is waterproof but, as with any vintage watch, it should be kept away from water.
The lens is in good condition.
The signed dial is in its original finish which has aged, often now called a tropical finish. Dauphine shaped hands (probably replacements but of the right style for the period), centre seconds and outer minute markers.
A new leather strap has been fitted.
The watch will be sent in a new presentation box. ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (excluding Northern Ireland).
Please contact us before placing international orders so that we can advise of shipping prices and to see if customs regulations allow us to post watches to your country.
The international buyer is responsible for paying any import duties and taxes.
All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.
We are a VAT registered company and all purchases are covered by Consumer Regulations.
Credit / debit card purchases can be made over the telephone on 01386 750238 or you can proceed via the \'Buy Securely\' button on each listing page.
We are an on-line only business and do not have facilities for callers. Our offices are open from Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
With regards to appraisals / valuations, we receive a huge number of information requests each day and unfortunately do not have the manpower to deal with them all individually. Our advice would be to contact a local auctioneer for a full appraisal.
