Gents Tissot Seastar Wrist Watch, 1961.

Gents Tissot Seastar wrist watch, 1961.

The watch has a 17 jewel calibre 781 hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number 4,897,166 which dates it back to 1961.

The watch is a good wearable size at 35mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is stainless steel and it is in good condition, just a little scratching to the back but not too detrimental at all. The inside of the case back is signed with the Tissot logo. Signed Tissot winding crown.

The lens is in good condition.

The signed dial has some age related marking, and has probably gone a little warmer in colour. Original hands, seconds sweep and outer minute markers.

The watch comes on a stainless steel non-Tissot bracelet but the clasp is genuine Tissot. The watch currently fits an 18.5cm wrist although there is capacity on the clasp to make it about 1.5cm smaller.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
