This watch is sold as watch only, which is typical for vintage timepieces. We place greater value on condition, originality, and overall integrity than on whether a box or papers happen to be present. Many vintage watches have lost their packaging over time, and we don’t believe in inflating prices with non-original extras.
If a watch does include genuine box and papers, this will always be clearly noted in the description. All purchases come with bespoke Watts On Watches packaging and full purchase documentation.
Every watch we sell is fully inspected and professionally serviced to meet our exacting standards. We stand by the quality of our stock, which is why every purchase comes with a 12-month warranty as standard.

Here’s a piece of horological history that still holds its own today, the Tissot Antimagnetique Ref. 6445-3, a charming 1940s watch with timeless design and real technical importance. This reference dates to 1948, with a classic 35mm case, making it incredibly wearable for both new and seasoned collectors.
Under the hood is the manual wind Tissot Calibre 27, one of the brand’s robust mid-century movements, protected by one of the key innovations of the time, anti-magnetic shielding. The Antimagnetique line was introduced in the 1930s as one of the world’s first ranges of mass-produced anti-magnetic watches, reinforcing Tissot’s reputation for practical innovation.
The silver dial has aged gracefully and features bold Arabic numerals, syringe-style hands, and warm radium lume that has aged to a rich patina — a detail collectors prize. The acrylic crystal retains the vintage charm, and the watch is paired with a brown leather strap to round out the look.
Why This Watch Matters
The Antimagnetique series is a historically significant range for Tissot and for watchmaking in general. In a time when magnetic fields posed a real problem for mechanical watches, Tissot was one of the first brands to offer effective protection in a widely available format.
This Ref. 6445-3 captures that story perfectly, with strong early post-war design language, a beautifully aged dial, and classic proportions. It's a great talking piece and a very wearable vintage timepiece.
