Sell Your Tissot Watch: Vintage Gold, PRX, Seastar and Chronographs

Who buys Tissot watches?

Watch dealers, jewellers and auction houses buy pre-owned Tissot watches. We buy vintage Tissots, especially solid gold and chronograph models, and modern automatics in good order, from anywhere in the UK.

Does Tissot buy back watches?

No. Tissot and its retailers do not buy back used watches. Selling to a specialist dealer is the direct route to a cash offer.

Which Tissot watches are worth selling?

Vintage solid gold dress watches, mid-century chronographs and Navigator or Visodate models attract the most interest, along with modern automatics such as the PRX Powermatic 80 and Seastar. Gold-plated and quartz fashion models are of more limited interest, and we tell you honestly from the photographs.

Where is the best place to sell a Tissot watch in the UK?

For vintage and gold Tissots, a specialist dealer who buys outright gives you a firm offer and same-day payment, without auction commission or the time and risk of a private sale. We buy from anywhere in the UK by insured post or free FedEx collection, and appointments at our Mayfair or Braintree office are available.

How old is Tissot?

Tissot was founded in Le Locle, Switzerland, in 1853. In 1930 it joined Omega in the SSIH group, and the two firms shared resources for decades, which is why some vintage Tissot chronographs interest Omega collectors too.

Is my vintage Tissot solid gold?

Look at the case back. Solid gold cases are usually stamped 9K or 375, 14K or 585, or 18K or 750, and British-cased watches carry a hallmark. Gold-plated cases are often marked plaque, gold plated or with a micron thickness. We confirm the metal on inspection.

Can I sell a broken or non-running Tissot?

Yes, for vintage and gold models. A non-running vintage Tissot can still be worth selling for its case, dial and movement, and a solid gold case has value in its own right.

Can I sell a Tissot PRX?

Yes. The PRX, revived in 2021 from a 1978 design, is one of the most popular modern Tissots. Automatic Powermatic 80 versions in good condition with the box and warranty card are the easiest to sell.

What affects the resale value of a Tissot watch?

For modern watches, the model, movement (automatic over quartz), condition and a full set with box and papers. For vintage watches, the case metal, the movement, originality of the dial and hands, and condition. The valuation is free and without obligation.
