Good morning, everyone!
Long-time lurker here on the forum but only recently started engaging with the community. With the holiday season coming up I'm looking to downsize the collection and will be posting several other vintage pieces over the coming days! Vintage Tissot's were a favorite of mine as I got into collecting, and especially the Visodate, Seastar and PR516 line.
Please see below for key info:
Model: Tissot Visodate
Year: 1956
Reference: 6918
Movement: 28.5R-621 (automatic)
Case Size: 35 mm w/o crown
Lug to Lug: 43 mm
Lug Width: 18 mm
Bracelet Max Size: ~7.5"
Price: $500 CAD OBO
Location: Toronto, ON
Commentary: Chance to own a clean example of one of the earliest variants of the Tissot Visodate! I've owned this watch for the last 3 or so years and while it hasn't been serviced in my ownership, it does have markings from prior services and has remained reliable. Everything functions as it should and when I put it on the timegrapher it was showing +40 seconds / day. The Gay Freres brick bracelet does have a few stretched links, but that's pretty common for this specific model. Case is quite sharp compared to many of the other examples online with all the original bevels still present, and the two-tone dial has a nice even patina.
