Nicknamed UFO due the case shape, this Tissot Seastar Seven should not be alien to your collection!  Model reference 42588-1.

HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

From the serial number on the movement we can accurately date this watch to being made in 1970.  Many products around this era were influenced by the Space Race, which explains the popularity of UFO cases at this point in time.

CONDITION

This Tissot Seastar Seven is not a watch you will see many of, certainly not in this condition.  Yes the gold plated case has small amounts of wear on the edges, and the crown looks ot be a later replacement, but overall the watch still looks great and it is distinct enough to be noticed without being loud.  Calibre 781-2 beats inside, which is a manual wind Tissot movement, and it is only accessed via the front.  The bezel has some patina which could easily be cleaned off, but we think it looks better with the patina than without.  The 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.
