per item
Originally from the early 1970s, this colorful chronograph was part of the Seastar line, and features the reliable manually wound Valjoux 7734 movement. The matte black dial features twin gloss black subdials for the running seconds and 30 minute counter, and a date at 6 o'clock. This particular example has developed a beautiful patina on the tritium hour markers and segmented hands.
These funky chronographs are becoming tougher to find, and it's even harder to find such great value in a vintage watch. Coming in at 40mm, the case size wears like a modern watch but with vintage charm. With the beautiful tritium patina and red and white accents, you're sure to catch yourself staring any time this Tissot is strapped to your wrist.
Take a look at our detailed photos and the condition description below:
Case: 40mm case in good vintage condition as pictured. There is surface wear throughout but no damage to the case and it appears to retain its original finish of vertical brushing on the dial side and polished sides.
Bezel: The original fixed tachymetre bezel shows some wear on the edge typical of this reference but is still easily legible.
Dial/Hands: Original dial and handset in excellent condition as shown. The deep matte black dial with glossy subdials is free from any staining or spots. The tritium hour markers have developed a wonderful patina as have the white segmented hour and minute hands. The running and chronograph seconds hands are accented in red.
Caseback: Original screw back in excellent condition as pictured.
Crystal: Excellent condition acrylic crystal free from any major scratching.
Movement: Original signed Valjoux 7734 hand wound chronograph movement in excellent mechanical condition. All functions work as they should including the chronograph start, stop, and reset to zero with good timekeeping. Service history is unknown.
Bracelet/Strap: New brown leather vintage style strap with stainless buckle.
Accessories: None. Sold as watch only.
