That's because the original had 1869 on it. The date is not relevant to the date of the Zion's Watch Tower Tract Society (1884) renamed unofficially in 1890 and then officially to the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society in 1896. 

The Society never printed this Bible, but began buying copies to re-distribute as early as 1880. Those copies did not have the Watch Tower name on it. In 1883 the Watch Tower was able to buy a special batch of the Tauchnitz edition Tischendorf translation in large quantities (see picture) to redistribute from Pittsburgh. Those also did not have the Watch Tower name on it. Then sometime around 1909 the Watch Tower paid the printers in London to print a larger quantity with the Watch Tower name on the title page, which the Watch Tower distributed from Brooklyn for a couple of decades.

No problem at all. Some people might have looked at that date and wondered about it, since there was no such thing as a Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society in 1869.
