Vintage Tissot Heritage Art Deco Tank Z173, Two-tone dial, Swiss Watch from 1990’s

This vintage Tissot from the 1990s takes clear inspiration from classic Art Deco “Tank-style” watches, with its rectangular case and balanced, architectural dial layout. The two-tone dial is clean and easy to read, framed by a stepped border that adds depth without feeling busy. Black Arabic numerals contrast well against the lighter center section, while the small seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock gives the watch a traditional, dress-oriented look.

The stainless steel case measures 19.5mm wide and 27.5mm tall, with a lug-to-lug length of 33mm. Slim and elegant, it sits close to the wrist thanks to its 5mm thickness, making it comfortable under a cuff and well suited for everyday wear or more formal settings. 

Inside is a Swiss quartz movement, typical of Tissot’s Heritage pieces from the 1990s, offering easy daily use and low maintenance. Overall, this is a tasteful Art Deco–inspired Tissot that combines vintage design language with modern practicality.
