Description: TISSOT SINCE 1853 Charles-Félicien Tissot and his son Charles-Emile founded a watchmaking counter in Le Locle in 1853. The house will quickly experience success, mainly abroad, in the United States and Russia, and collect numerous distinctions. From 1907, the family business moved up a gear, that of industrial manufacturing, which allowed it to overcome the crises of the interwar period without too much difficulty and to take a considerable place on the market. wristwatches. After absorbing the Omega company into the SSIH in 1930, Tissot was in turn integrated into the Swatch Group in 1971, which did not prevent it from retaining the freshness and innovative character that had ensured its notoriety. Few brands can boast of having contributed as much to the global reputation of Swiss watchmaking as Tissot. SEASTAR COLLECTION In the 50s and 60s, the extraordinary wave of sea SPORTS , the considerable interest in fishing and underwater explorations encouraged the Tissot factory to create a watch capable of meeting the most severe requirements imposed by certain conditions of time, place, work and temperature. A phenomenal success at the time!!! Aimed at a middle class, dynamic and sporty clientele with a demand for precision and ease of use, the "Seastar" represent an evolution in the search for technical improvements. This line is characterized by watches with screwed backs, in a flat format and elegant and sporty styling. DESCRIPTION AND TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS Dimensions : width excluding winder 36.5 mm, 41 mm at the end of the handles and 12 mm thickness including glass, men's model. Housing : The design of the Seastar is decidedly unusual, ultra modern if we position ourselves in the context of this seventies era. It has careful finishes, alternating polished and brushed surfaces, with real work on the profile and sides which give the watch a technical look. Known for its reliability and resistance, it has a solid stainless steel television-shaped case, it is a 1973 model, the back is screwed. Dial : metallic red in color with 3 “vertical gradient” zones which make it all original. This dial ensures optimal reading comfort, it is equipped with a very detailed “railroad” on the circumference with 12 applied indexes in relief and large “stick” hands. An essential “option” in this seventies period, the double calendar (day and date) 3 H with a quick date corrector by pushing on the original winding stem signed Tissot. Glass : new, plexiglass. Movement : TISSOT caliber 2571 designed in 1972 until 1979, serial number 18091791 (which allows me to date it to 1973 exactly), producing 21,600 vibrations per hour, 21 jewels, anti-shock and anti-magnetic, precision adjustment with micrometric screw, double date with quick date corrector by pushing. Completely serviced by me, it is in perfect working order. strap : signed Tissot, original, in brushed stainless steel, fitted with a signed folding buckle. 20 cm long in total with the possibility of removing links and adjusting with the greatest precision in the 8 holes of the buckle. Its width is 24 mm on the watch side and 17 mm on the buckle side. Comments : Tissot is a factory (yes, a factory because at that time Tissot manufactured everything from A to Z of its timepieces, the movement in particular), the Swiss factory has always been at the forefront of technology and trends. Today, more than 50 years later, the good performance of these Seastars testifies to the quality and reliability of this collection which is becoming legendary and highly collectible. Note that it is all original, everything is signed: movement, case, dial, winding crown and strap .
