Key Features
This Tissot Seastar is the perfect watch for everyday wear with its extremely wearable dimensions. The dial is in near-perfect condition. Applied steel indices sit on a wicked cool silver dial that in the right light sparkles. The manual wind movement is a reliable Tissot 2461 Swiss made manual movement, and the serial number points to a 1973 production date. Do please take note the watch has a quickset date function by pushing in the crown and it is only recommended that you do not push the crown in between 10pm and 1am as it might damage the date function
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.
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.
