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.
