Beautiful manual movement with no identifying marks except for T on crown, T and Tissot on face, and "Swiss T Made" on bottom of face.
I haven't been able to find anything matching it online but from what I saw it might be early 60s?
Any idea on model?

It has no model name and this was normal. On the movement you will find a serial number and this will tell the year of manufacture but it sure looks like early to mid 1960's.

It looks like a small, modern (i.e. post WWII) pocket watch based on a wrist watch calibre..... Hartmut Richter

It could have been produced in 1961 just as it could in 1981. The Tissot logo on your watch was introduced around 1960 -'59 Tissots still had the old logo, as far as I know. Since Tissot serial numbers by year tables are easily available, just take off the caseback and you should be able to precisely determine the year it was manufactured. I haven't seen a Tissot PW with the crown at 6 o'clock before...

Generally termed a "nurses watch", as these were designed to be read whist suspended on a vest. Thus they are essentially upside down. I agree that this may well have a wristwatch size movement inside, and would likely date from the late-1960s into the 1970s.

No kidding....great job guys! Thank you for your help! I checked the movement, number dates the watch to 1965. Funny story on the nurse watch theory, I am actually fixing to apply to nursing school in order to get my feet wet before going trying to go M.D.. Coincidence?

No - providence! Good luck on your degree and please have the watch done up and honour it by wearing it in nursing school. Hartmut Richter
