Vintage Tissot Calatrava, Ref. 6702-15, Rare silver dial and markers, Cal. 27 with Sub second from 1940's

This vintage Tissot Ref. 6702-15 is a stunning example of mid-century Swiss elegance, echoing the classic aesthetic of Patek Philippe's Calatrava line. With its perfectly balanced 34 mm case and ultra-thin 10 mm profile, this piece captures the charm and sophistication of the 1940s dress watch era. What makes this watch particularly compelling is its beautifully preserved silver dial with a subtle sunburst texture, featuring gilt Arabic numerals at 12, 2, 4, 8, and 10, paired with minimalist triangular hour markers and a small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock.

Under the hood, it houses the hand-wound Tissot Caliber 27 with 15 jewels—known for its reliability and classic Swiss engineering. The movement is identified by its serial number 3,237,745, placing its production firmly in the golden age of Swiss mechanical watchmaking.
