Thank you so much for you kind reply.

Why is there no SWISS MADE on the dial?

Beautiful collection. I have just started collecting watches this year. I have 5 Tissot watches so far. 3 with the powermatic 80, one mechanical and one quartz. I started with Orient and Seiko as i didn't know i could get the Tissot watches at the same price. I'm so impressed with the quality of my Tissot watches. Thanks for showing your amazing collection.

[@hamuudiyasin]

@deanP good choice

[@GonzoTheRosarian]

I recently found one of my father’s watches. The one found is a Tissot automatic gold cap over stainless that I have not been able to date but i thought would be 1950’s. By watching your video I can tell it is either 1954-1955. All I have had to do to the watch was get a new strap. Wound it up the first time to get it going. I have been wearing it since and it keeps time like a champ. I have not opened the watch to see if I can get more info.

[@lislearnitalianwithsongs]

Thanks for this video on Tissot. I have recently had 2 omegas from the 1950’s , a tissot from the mid-90’s and one from the early -60’s serviced and couldn’t be happier! Your videos contributed to feeding this passion. Thank you.

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

Thanks for sharing and great to hear that! When people write me a comment and share about their collection, that makes what I do so much more fun.

[@eurovnik]

Your content is unique - clearly narrated, beautifully filmed and about vintage watches. Please keep up the good work! I fear that with KZbin being the way it is pure vintage content is far harder to monetise than videos about contemporary releases. I would love you to do a video about vintage Longines through the years, as they were the great competitor who spurred Omega to ever greater heights.

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

Thank you so much for your comment and input. The channel's primary focus is educating people about vintage watches. But from time to time, I do review modern pieces as well. If you enjoy learning more about vintage Longines, there are currently two videos on the channel: 1) kzbin.info/www/bejne/omO9eKGYgryZarM and 2) kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHizhqWmmqiEiLs

I have a pillow/tv shaped Tissot T12 in gold finish that is in excellent condition. Probably early 70s. Its uncommon, I suppose, I had trouble finding a picture of one online in the same color. Not that it makes the watch valuable, but I like uncommon watches. I love the vintage Tissot watches.

[@leestrada1]

That is the best Tissot collection I've seen. Very well chosen.

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

It really is! Condition is more important than rarity.

[@rogerwatt8491]

A truly excellent collection! I was hoping to see the PR516 Visodate Seastar with "continental" (steering wheel) bracelet. I bought mine new in 1967 for £27, still wear it regularly and it keeps excellent time, probably because I get it serviced every five years. I have used high quality leather straps for a long time as they're way more comfortable than the original bracelet . . . which I still have though as it's iconic.

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

Thank you for the comment. The original bracelet of most watches of this age is usually long gone. :-( I believe the PR 516 heritage model also comes with this bracelet.

[@iraimenezes5811]

Parabéns pelo seu relógio de 1967. Apreciei seu comentário de fazer manutenção a cada 5 anos. Vai ficar para a próxima geração sua. Conheci um Sr. que usou seu tissot pela vida toda; ganhou da namorada que se tornou sua esposa. Viveu até 90 anos e por 70 anos cuidou do relógio.Ficou com seu neto. Bem cuidado não acaba. Parabéns também pela sua história. Tenho também um que comprei em 1973 e o uso regularmente fazendo sempre a manutenção na autorizada tissot.

[@tgonoude]

Your work is fantastic 👏

[@Lonewolf-kw8gg]

Great video, I love vintage Tissot's, my 1957 Seastar automatic runs like a champ +5sec per day.

[@coffeeisgood102]

Nice collection. I have the Visodate & Seastar.

[@spirg]

Some really Beautiful watches here !!! I never realized how nice Tissot watches are, til I looked at a Sea Star , which Im getting through a finance plan... Its beautiful, and SWISS .

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

Congratulations my friend! Happy for you.

[@trtcommunity9248]

What a great video and what a great collection! Well done, my friend. Thank you for sharing these treasures with the rest of us and keeping them (or restoring them) to their original state.

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

Glad you enjoyed it. I like to share untouched original examples, this way my viewers can truly understand what these watches originally look like.

[@rodneyjhackenflash4865]

I have had a Tissot black-face date watch with gold accents (gold bars instead of numbers except at 12 & 6) almost 40 years. It's been flawless. Replaced 3 batteries (myself) and two black leather watchbands and the watch, except for the crystal, still looks brand new and still is beautiful. Gold accents and bezel are as brilliant as 40 years ago. The watch has never been serviced.

[@sorkrot]

incredibly detailed video. thank you! might be a little troublesome on your end, but I suggest adding chapters for each watch. would really help with the viewing experience! thank you!

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

Thank you for the great pointer! Will give that a try!

[@kswaminathan5439]

Superb video with excellent watches. I am astounded to see the movements in such mint condition, even though they have been serviced. I would like to buy the alarm wrist watch if you plan to sell it and what would your price be?

[@jadedarby8234]

Absolutely wonderful video, love Tissot.. 18 is my favorite💥💥 Appreciate your time putting together, turn table is perfect..

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

It was definitely a fun video to make!

[@johnnyarsenault9124]

Hi! this should be made in a book as reference! Excellent video!👌❤️👍

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

Wow, thank you! Maybe one day!

[@M3LTUP]

Nice video. I like #1 best , 1938 Tissot. The black dial with vanilla numerals and outer dial ring is very nice.

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

Thank you for the comment and sharing your favourite piece from the video. I bet it is most people’s favourite as well. 😆

[@erichghetta8523]

All pieces are awesome and it is difficult to choose a couple of them. Any way the Nr. 3 Tissot Automatic Bumper is fantastic with bicolor dial. I suppose is one of the fist bumper watchesm at that time. The Nr. 9 with the black leaf is something you can not forget. Unfortunately I am oversea and would be difficult to purchase at least one of them. You are doing a great job. The quality of videos are superlative. Thanks for sharing them.

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

Thank you for the comment. I ship a lot of watches overseas. Message me if you’re interested to purchase anything.

[@classicinvestmentwatches676]

Splendid video! More of these please!

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

Sure!

[@johntaylor6654]

Which do I like best ? I'd be happy to own any, I have a 1952 bumper calibre 28.5.1, not as pristine as any of yours but it's still keeping v/g time

[@JT-rx1eo]

No Tissot watch that actor Jimmy Stewart wore in the 1954 movie"Rear Window"? I've been looking for that watch.

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

One day! :-P

[@Foxrock321]

My favorite is the Tissot alarm feature..

[@anettesrensen2140]

Very beautiful watches - especially I find the Visodates very beautiful - I am a fan og watches with a datewindow. I have had some of them myself, but now I have sold them. I have also had some vintage Tissots from the 60'ies and 70'ies. Are the Tissot movements (7xx) just as good as the movements from the 50'ies? I am very fond of the Tissots from the 50'ies and the 60'ies. I think I will acquire some of these in the future. My only Tissot watch yet is atTissot Gentleman from 2022 - a beautiful and very precise watch. Best regards Ulrich Sorensen

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

Thank you! I would say the quality of a Tissot movements are equally as great throughout the 1940s to 1970s. I believe the 7xx caliber you are referring to is a 784? That is actually the same caliber as an Omega 1481. Several of Omega 1970s calibers are the same Tissot, but they used different reference number to confuse you. haha. BTW, my very first high end watch back when I was still in college was a Tissot PR50 in titanium. :-D

[@markemma5259]

Does tissot 1981 seastar gold plated exist?

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

Most likely yes

[@davinci05131979]

I just recently bought what I'm assuming it's 1939 Women's Tissot for my wife at a garage sale, the watch seems like it was a wedding present as it's engraved R&S 4-1-40. I want to learn more about the watch, where can I go to find more information?

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

You can always create a post on the Omega forums and someone there should be able to assist you.

[@antonalex007]

Nice collection all look very 👍 👍 👍

[@ARTUROFEDERICOGARZA-zw5ok]

Excelente colección todos muy bonitos

[@asensibleyoungman2978]

Beautiful watches.

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

Glad you like them!

[@MusikPiratCH]

I think it's wrong to call Tissot "a sister brand of Omega"! Unlike Tudor (which is really a sister brand of Rolex) and Rolex that were both founded in England by a German Omega was founded in the very same year as modern Switzerland in 1848, while Tissot was founded independently in Le Locle in 1853. Of course Omega and Tissot joined forces in the SSIH until the Quartz crisis and later they both became part of the Swatch Group. 🤔 For me as a Swiss Omega and Tissot represent in my mind the Swiss watch industry! (Of course there were many other brands around too. But marketing wise I had this impression.) 😍

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

What if I refer Tissot as a “step sister” company of Omega? Haha. Tissot did merge with Omega and shared some of their calibers since the 1930s. That’s about 100 years of history together.

[@MusikPiratCH]

@@TimelessHistoryChannel lol "Step sister" However I don't see SSIH as a merger! It was a cooperation of Omega, Tissot and Lemania. Like ETA today Omgega and Tissot shared the same calibre. (So what?) Omega still produced their models in Biel while Tissot produced as from 1853 in Le Locle! (I think I see merger like two or more firms becomming one firm. Thats why I say it was a cooperation.) 🤔

[@nu77byte49]

Amazing collection and I cant pic a fav they are all great :) one question how are you so lucky to get these age watches with such good dials do you get them restored or are you just that lucky ;) keep up the awesome vids

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

Thank you. I’ve been in this hobby/business for over 2 decades. I’ve gone through so many bad purchases to end up where I am today. Learn things the hard way. That’s why I am making these videos to help all my viewers. Not to mention that I am also a watchmaker. So I do restore my watches before I present them. Haha. Of course, when I restore a watch, I do not restore the dial or polish the case.

1954. My favorite with 27B

[@Omega30t2RG]

Nice video and great watches! One question if you dont mind please? I am just servicing a tissot 28.5t.21 bumper,but just wondered,when the watch is horizontal and dial down,how much vertical movement does the rotor/weight have on your watch please,as I may have wear on the weight pivots. Many thanks.

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

Thank you for the comment. When working on a bumper automatic movement, you'll need to examine if the weight has any play. You can check by using a tweezer; if there is a prominent up and down movement, the weight will tend up and unable to swing freely when the mainspring gets a few winds. This means that your watch will never get to self fully wind itself. In that case, you'll likely need to replace the upper/lower automatic bridge jewels/bushings and possibly the automatic weight axle as well. But more importantly, you'll need to ensure that there is no play on the pawl bearing (the winding piece connecting to the ratchet wheel and automatic axle). If there is wobble movement, you'll need to replace the upper and lower bushing. Worn bushings will cause the pawl bearing to tighten up the automatic weight. When the bumper automatic is fully powered, the weight will still swing freely as you move your wrist. Since the weight only swings at 270 degrees and winds in one direction, it will require more wrist movement throughout the day while wearing it. The power reserve on a bumper automatic is around 36hrs, which is very short compared to other automatic watches.

[@Omega30t2RG]

That's great information,thank you very much!!

[@CarlosAguila]

clean pieces!!

[@ericbena1686]

I have a Tissot antimagnetique cream dial, separate second dial.. no numbers on the dial. For some reason I cannot find info regarding this model can u help?

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

There are many Tissot models and dial variation. You can find out the model number by opening up the watch. :-)

[@travesurasdelraton4480]

Dónde compraste la máquina del tiempo para viajar al pasado? Yo también quiero una, para ir a comprar unos cuantos relojitos. Todos están espectaculares.

What brand watch bands do u use?

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

I supply my own watch straps. Some are handmade at the shop. There is no brand name on the straps.

[@basic_le4857]

I've seen an Omega looking almost exactly like that first one. nice example

Oh yeah, I bet! Old Bumper Automatic or 30T2 Omega will come with a similar dial.

Hello from Mexico…. Great video. I like Tissot watches. I hope you can help me with a doubdt. I have a Vintage Tissot. The serial Number at the bach of the case is 17062 1. Its a 30 mm diameter. I would like to know more like year made, model like visodate . Thanks in advance

[@glenh4971]

I subscribed to your website so I can see what you are offering for sale. I don't remember seeing Tissot wristwatches. Are these from your personal collection? The quality is obvious. I have never seen a vintage Tissot. Very special. It would be hard to choose one from this collection but I prefer the manual wind models I believe.

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

Thank you for the comment! I forgot to tag a comment in the comment section. You have subscribed to my main site, which is good enough. I do not sell Tissot on the main site, but whenever there is an update on my secondary site, I also notify all subscribers from my main site. Check the pinned comment shortly and there will be a link to the secondary site. Update with all 18pcs will hit the site soon!

[@jeffnewbill5599]

Love your watches, very nice condition but the cheap straps on alot of them, I don't.

[@TimelessHistoryChannel]

Haha. Well, I wouldn’t call these straps cheap. I have worked on enough watches to differentiate cheap and good straps apart. They are still good quality straps, but just not top notch and expensive. So I use them on the watches that I have for sale. All of these Tissot are for sale.

[@jacksugden8190]

Never worn such a brand

I found one, looking like new, an unmarked steel-cased Tissot Antinmatique from 1954, has a 31.9 mm case with a creamy dial, saw a larger 36 mm version going for £1.116.59, I got mine for a fraction of the price.
