Story
The mid-1970s was a period of radical transformation in Switzerland as mechanical watchmakers fought to stay relevant against the rising tide of digital quartz technology.
Maker / Origin
Founded in 1853 in Le Locle, Tissot has a storied history of innovation, including creating the first mass-produced pocket watch and the first anti-magnetic watch.
Condition & Value
The watch appears to be in very good vintage condition with original components and a rare surviving hang tag. Value is driven by the highly desirable blue dial, the presence of the original hang tag, and the current market trend favoring 1970s integrated-style steel watches.
