Tissot Ref. 254.855 — Manual Wind | Serviced | 38mm | Timeless Treasure

Tissot Ref. 254.855 — A Masterpiece of 1950s Swiss Watchmaking

An authentic Treasure of Time: the Tissot Ref. 254.855 is a vintage wristwatch of extraordinary charm, produced by the Swiss manufacture in Le Locle between the late 1940s and early 1960s. The case back bears the inscription "Shock & Dust Protected — Non Magnetic", characteristic of the famous Antimagnetique line that Tissot offered as a response to the need for everyday robustness in the industrial era.

The champagne dial with tropical patina tells over seventy years of lived history: the amber and golden spots that have formed over time are not a defect, but the signature of authenticity — a highly sought-after phenomenon by collectors worldwide. The golden hands, the Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, and the arrow indices complete a dial of rare beauty.
