About Tissot Watches

A short history of Tissot

Tissot has produced watches in Le Locle since 1853 and claims a long list of firsts, including the first mass-produced pocket watch with two time zones and the first anti-magnetic wristwatch in 1929. It has served as official timekeeper for cycling, basketball and motorsport championships, and remains one of the highest-volume genuinely Swiss-made brands in the world.

Which Tissot model should you buy?

The PRX has become the brand’s defining modern watch, offering an integrated bracelet and 1970s case profile in both quartz and Powermatic 80 automatic versions. Le Locle and the Heritage line cover classical dress watches, the Seastar handles diving with 300m water resistance, and the T-Touch offers tactile smart functions. For a first Swiss automatic, the PRX Powermatic 80 is difficult to beat.

Buying Tissot pre-owned

Tissot is where Swiss-made mechanical watchmaking becomes genuinely affordable. The Powermatic 80 movement offers an 80-hour power reserve and, in current versions, a Nivachron antimagnetic balance spring — specifications that were premium features a decade ago. Because volumes are high, pre-owned Tissot is plentiful and inexpensive, making it a low-risk entry into the category.

What to check before you buy

• Confirm whether the model is quartz or Powermatic 80 automatic; both share case designs.
• Check the integrated bracelet on PRX models for stretch and correct end-link fit.
• Inspect the crystal for scratches — some references use mineral rather than sapphire.
• Verify the date-change mechanism operates cleanly at midnight.

If anything about a listing is unclear, speak to a specialist before you commit — we would rather answer questions than process a return. You can also read how we authenticate every watch we sell, or browse the full index of watches in stock.
