"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.

Omega 43 Years Old Vintage Omega Equinoxe Reverso /Ref. 1860013 / Cal. 1655 / Vintage 1981
From start to finish the transaction was straight forward and smooth. The watch arrived well packed and in the exact condition described. I only recently became interested in "vintage" watches and EVW is a great resource for quality pieces. I already purchased a second and when I find something I like I will gladly purchase again. Thank you Lukasz.
I absolutely love the gorgeous vintage watch I bought from EVW! It’s amazing to be able to wear a watch that is 119 years old. I often wonder what life was like for the original owner in 1906. The watch was delivered very quickly by DHL and was packaged well. A great buying experience!
63 Years Old Vintage Omega Gold plated / Ref. 14395 61 SC / Cal. 285 (30T2) / Vintage 1961
I am so happy with this purchase! Communication was super easy with EVW and they negotiated on price. Upon receiving the watch, I was simply stunned. The condition of restoration is incredible. The gold case is flawless, the case back is perfect, and the dial has only 1 small imperfection (pictured in listing, expected). For a watch from 1982, this is amazing. The Caliber 1110 movement is working very smoothly. The quick-set date is great, and the power reserve is too.
EVW always has an incredible selection of amazing vintage pieces at fair prices with super fast and reliable shipping.
