2.0926 TISSOT 43011 TROPICAL AUTOMATIC, SWISS 1961

£330.00

A rare combo by Tissot!

This automatic wristwatch does not feature a date which is quite unusual for it’s design. Timepiece manufacturers are known to pack as many features into their pieces as possible so seeing an automatic Tissot with no calendar complication is very unique, not to mention a very difficult find.

This piece also features a tropical dial and gold numerals with non-radium pips, safe for daily use. The in-house Tissot 783 movement has been fully serviced and runs at 20 – 40 sec/s a day with a 12 month warranty on purchase.
