Key Features
Fully stainless steel day-date ‘particularly robust’ Tissot PR-100, with an interesting complicated bracelet and sapphire glass. The movement works perfectly, has been recently serviced and works like new with a 12-month warranty. The ETA 2836 movement bears the latest technical design features and complies with modern Swiss requirements. The net cost of this movement is more altogether than the cost of this watch. The watch features a nice green lume on the hands and indices, as well as a screw-in winding crown.
About Tissot
Tissot SA is a Swiss luxury watch brand, founded in Le Locle, Switzerland by Charles-Félicien Tissot and his son, Charles-Émile Tissot, in 1853. In 1858 Charles-Emile Tissot travelled to Russia, where he succeeded in selling and popularising the company’s Savonette Pocket Watches across the Russian Empire. In 2021, Tissot SA is marketing the Le Locle Powermatic 80, which has a watch face designed to mimic the clock tower in its founding city of Le Locle.
Tissot merged with watch company Omega SA in 1930, forming SSIH (Société Suisse pour l’Industrie Horlogère), and Tissot-Omega watches from this era are much sought after by collectors. Tissot is an official timekeeper for the world championships in cycling, motorcycling, fencing and ice hockey, and was also a sponsor for the Formula One car-racing teams Lotus, Renault, and Sauber.
Tissot watches have been worn by the likes of Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, Grace Kelly, Elvis Presley and Nelson Mandela.
