For sale here is a Ch. Tissot & Fils issued to the Signal Corps.
The watch has been serviced in june 2023 and runs fine for a watch of its age. As you can see on the pictures the enamel dial is free from chip or crack, part of the original radium is still in place.
One particularity of this model is the double caseback, the inner one is hinged, the outer one isn't.
Of course, for a more than 100 year old watch I can't guarantee that parts haven't been replaced earlier, all I can say is it looks all original to my eyes and I haven't replaced nor have replaced any parts, it is as I found it except for the service.
Asking 750€ net to me. Shipping will be charged in addition, only by registered and insured parcel, delivered against signature.
The one who what we are talking about know that those Signal Corps Tissot one are quite difficult to find, especially in this condition (there is currently one for sale on the Bay with a damaged caseback and a hairline on the dial.

Tissot was founded in 1853 by Charles-Félicien Tissot and his son Charles-Émile Tissot in the Swiss city of Le Locle, in the Neuchâtel area of the Jura Mountains.
Tissot introduced the first mass-produced pocket watch as well as the first pocket watch with two time zones in 1853 and the first anti-magnetic watch in 1929–30. Charles-Emile Tissot left for Russia in 1858 and succeeded in selling their savonnette pocket watches across the Russian Empire. The Tissot company was also the first to make watches out of plastic (IDEA 2001 in 1971), stone (the Alpine granite RockWatch in 1985), mother of pearl (the Pearl watch in 1987), and wood (the Wood watch in 1988). Tissot merged with the Omega watch making family in 1930 and Tissot-Omega watches from this era are sought after by collectors.
Tissot has been a member of The Swatch Group Ltd. since 1983, the largest watch producer and distributor in the world. Still based in Le Locle, Switzerland and marketed in 160 countries around the world. Tissot watches are currently classified by Swatch Group as "mid-range market" products.
