Our View
Oversized 1930s military watches are becoming increasingly sought after, and this Tissot Czech Military example is a particularly strong and important piece. The 39mm case pre‑dates most modern tool‑watch sizing by decades, while the Calibre 27 movement reflects Tissot’s reputation for robust, precision engineering. Beautifully restored and mechanically sound, this is a watch that should be appreciated for both its historical importance and its enduring, purposeful design.
