Story
In the early 1970s, the watch world was undergoing a radical transformation as stainless steel became the most fashionable material for a luxury timepiece.
Maker / Origin
Founded in 1853 in the Jura Mountains of Switzerland, Tissot has a long history of technical firsts, including the first mass-produced pocket watch.
Condition & Value
The acrylic crystal is heavily scratched, which is common for this era but obscures the beautiful dial. Value is driven by the highly desirable blue gradient dial and the 'Seastar' branding.
