Tissot 1938 – The Tissot 1938 Small Seconds is one of the most accessible COSC certified watches on the market. On top of that it also happens to be incredibly good looking. We recently did a deep dive on this watch on our YouTube channel, and I may have fallen in love a bit. The dial has a lovely black textured finish, which reminds me a little of the Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref. 5226G. This serves as a backdrop to the silver snailed small seconds at 6 o’ clock, embossed gold Arabic numerals, a vintage Tissot logo and a white minute track and date. It’s got warmth, richness, and depth. Although it is COSC certified, it lacks the large Chronometer text on the other time-only watches in the 1938 collection. Personally, I think this adds to its sleeper credentials.
