Key Features
A reliable and sophisticated watch, this is a well sized Tissot and ideal for daily wear. The silver tone sunburst dial is in perfect condition and the case is virtually flawless. The movement serial number points to a 1972 production date, and yet runs like new! The model number, 44543-1X, is also stamped inside the caseback.
The movement features a quickset date feature, which can be operated by pressing the button on the winding crown. We recommend that you do not use this feature while the hour hand is between 10 and 2, as this can disrupt the mechanism.
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.
Tissot watches have been worn by the likes of Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, Grace Kelly, Elvis Presley and Nelson Mandela.
