A Platinum "Tissot"...
just want to see if I can get any information regarding this watch, as I can find nothing about it in web..
I got this as second-hand today, which is a 36mm, 950 platinum ( but not heavy weight on hand), limited to 33 pieces, Tissot chronometer watch...
How come such " low-grade Brand " ( sorry to say that) has produced a platinum watches??
But it looked really nice on wrist, as so classy..
please share with me any information regarding this watches.
regards.

limited ed tissot
Around 2003-05 Tissot was relaunching itself in a new avtaar, my brother bought a vintage (retro) styled tissot limited to 3333 pieces. These models are fitted with ETA calibers 2824 basically, they are excellent watches from the reliability point of view. I see your buckle in the photo the shape and etching 'Tissot' is very similar to my bro's watch. If you like it go for it for a song.
cheers.
It uses the old logo, but I'm as surprised as you
They are currently doing a T-Touch in Platinum.
Tissot was on par with Omega at one point, using Lemania movements.
They still have done some nice watches over the years, I have several vintage Tissot and love them.
I do like this one, though it appears to be one of those LEs that they do for one market, like the Asian.
Have never heard or seen that one done for the US.
Is the date out of center the way it displays naturally? Might need a service.

Thanks....
THANKS all fellow for your kind comments and information....!
This is the first time I love/like small size (36mm) dressy watch, as the look is so vintage as it should be. Also, the precious metal used make it much more adorable , and it's rarity make it collectable.....
I may go for some platinume dressy PP if I save up enough later...
The seller said he may found the paper of this one. I wil share the information regarding this watch if I able to get it...

very unusual to see a Pt Tissot, but a nice looking 40's style watch
i'm going to disagree very slightly with mrsnak. as Omega have owned Tissot since 1937 i would class Tissot as the Tudor equivalent to Rolex. nearly as good, but the slightly cheaper underdog. this makes finding a platinum model all the more surprising. its obviously a fairly modern re edition of an historic chronometer piece, but for what reason i have no idea.
nice find nonetheless.

Point taken...
But hard to think that this 1970s Seastar with its Lemania 1281 (Tissot 871) 17 jewel movement is a sloppy second ;-)
Here's a bumper from the 1950s that has the older logo:
