Tissot Chrono 6216-3

1950s Tissot Chrono 6216-3

This rare 1950s Tissot is one of the hidden gems of post-war Swiss chronograph production. Housed in a 35 mm stainless steel case, this watch features a beautifully balanced bi-compax dial with sub-seconds at 9 and a 30-minute counter at 3, framed by classic pump pushers and a domed crystal. The case retains its sharp lines and vintage proportions, offering both historical significance and timeless style. A superb collector’s piece from Tissot’s golden mechanical era — combining Omega-level movement engineering with the clean, understated aesthetics that define 1950s Swiss chronographs. Interesting Fact “In 1930, Tissot introduced the first antimagnetic wristwatch — decades before “antimagnetic” became a standard feature in modern watches. At the time, everyday exposure to electric fields could severely affect mechanical movements. Tissot solved this by using non-magnetic alloys for key movement components, such as the balance spring and escapement.” Dial Colour : Grey with Luminous Arabic Numerals Collection : Chronograph Style : Men’s Case Material : Steel with Screwdown Back Case Diameter : 35mm Clasp : Buckle Strap : Oliver Green Leather Glass : Plexi Movement : Lemania 27CH Water Resistance : N/A Features : Chronograph Stock Code : TIS006 This watch has been fully serviced and includes a two-year guarantee.
