Key Features
This striking, memorable ‘Speaker’ design, embodied by the Omega-Tissot tandem, gained huge popularity in the 1970’s. When you think about the most successful watches of the seventies, the first thing that comes to mind is this great design. The Swiss company Sorna Watch SA produced watches under a dozen different brand names.
In addition to the style and integrity, this watch has a nice alarm function that buzzes confidently at a given moment. This item is in perfect condition, practically like new, and shows minimal traces of time.
In the 1970’s, quartz movements began to displace mechanical ones, due to their cheapness, and manufacturers entered into a technological race to simplify and reduce the cost of production of classical mechanical movements, producing movements with a Roskopf pin descent. In this watch, just such a movement is used, the bridges and plates are stamped, but the number of jewels is 17 (many used just one jewel). The movement runs well, and everything works as it should.
The watch is comfortable and eye-catching, perfect for pairing with a suit.
