This oversized men’s Tissot Stylist is quite the thing – a very noticeable watch! Model reference 41448-2X.
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
From the serial number on the movement we can accurately date this watch to being made towards the end of 1969.
CONDITION
To see a rectangular watch this size is quite unusual today, but back in 1969 it was almost unheard of. Rectangular watches cover more of the wrist than round watches, so always feel larger than the dimensions suggest. It is worth taking close note of the wrist photos to see if this chunky watch is correct for you. The downside is the dial has some lacquer damage to the edges, and a couple of spots. It looks worse in certain lights, and almost invisible in others, but we want to make people aware of this and show it in the video too. The movement is Tissot’s calibre 781-1, a manual wind 17 jewel calibre with micro adjustment via a screw. It is hand wound via the signed, original crown. The dark red leather strap is new, and could be swapped for a different colour if preferred.
This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.

From 1st September 2021 we will be planting a tree for every watch we sell, working with the International Tree Foundation (Est 1922) to make this business positive on carbon. By buying anything pre owned you are effectively reusing what already exists, but this takes it further and makes us feel good.
