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.
