Watch: Gents Tissot Wrist Watch, 1966

The watch has a 17-jewel calibre 781-1 hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The serial number, 8751979, dates it back to 1966. The watch measures 34.5mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is stainless steel and it is in good condition, just light surface marking to the front and sides. There are a few longer scratches to the back. The back of the watch has the sun logo as seen on Tissot Seastar watches. The movement and dial are not original to the watch, they are period replacements from the same era… the calibre 781 is the correct calibre for a Seastar. The lens is in good condition. The signed dial has light age related marking, nothing too serious. A later leather strap has been fitted. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland).
