"The Giant of the 1940s – Rare 38.5mm 'Jumbo' Military Tissot."

This 84-year-old Vintage Tissot is a horological anomaly in the best possible way. Produced in 1940, at the height of the World War II era, it features a massive (for the time) 38.5mm case. While most soldiers wore 31mm watches, this "Jumbo" model offered unparalleled legibility and presence, making it a true rarity today.

The watch is powered by the renowned Caliber 27, a manual-wind movement famous for its robustness and shared architecture with Omega's 30T2. The dial reflects the military utility of the era: clean, legible, with a distinct "Railroad" minute track and Arabic numerals. It is a piece of history that wears like a modern watch.

Collector Notes

Vintage "Oversize" or "Jumbo" watches from the 1940s are among the most sought-after categories in collecting. Finding a Tissot from 1940 with a near-39mm case is extremely difficult. It combines the historical charm of the WWII era with a size that fits perfectly on a contemporary wrist.
