History:
Mathey Tissot, a Swiss watchmaker established in 1886, is known for its prestige watches and for supplying precision chronographs to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers during WWI.

Production Date: Around 1950
Movement: A. Schild cal. 1250, automatic and manual winding
Dial: The two-tone colored dial is in very good condition without any scratches but with a few tiny “beauty spots.”
Hands: The old radium lume has been removed and replaced with modern lume colored to match the dial.
Crystal: Acrylic, lightly polished with minor marks and hairlines.
Case: In very good condition without any major scratches, cleaned only.
Bracelet: Genuine leather strap

An additional jewel has been added as a bearing for the oscillating weight, addressing a known weak point in bumper automatics. The jewel is a durable and effective solution. The watch has been fully serviced, ensuring that you can enjoy it for years to come without worrying about maintenance. All functions have been tested and are working perfectly. The rubber gasket has been replaced.
