Overview

A quintessential 1970s stainless steel sports watch featuring a striking cobalt blue sunburst dial and an integrated-style bracelet.

Story

The mid-1970s was a period of high drama in Switzerland, as traditional watchmakers fought the 'Quartz Crisis' by leaning into bold, masculine designs.

Maker / Origin

Founded in 1853 in the Jura Mountains, Tissot has a storied legacy of innovation, including creating the first mass-produced pocket watch.

Condition & Value

The watch appears to be in very honest, original condition with light surface scratches on the case and bracelet consistent with careful use. Value is driven by the highly desirable blue dial and the presence of the original hang-tag.
