This Swiss ladies Tissot has a solid silver case and bracelet, as well as a manual wind movement.
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
From the hallmark on the clasp we can accurately date this watch to being assayed in 1976, and the serial number on the movement also confirms that this was also made in 1976.
CONDITION
Silver used to be the main material for watch cases, but as stainless steel became more cheaper to produce silver fell out of favour. There was however a resurgence in the 1970’s, when the price of gold quadrupled. Omega launched the Jeux d’Argent silver range, and Cartier used gold plated silver cases for their Must de Cartier watches. With a dark blue dial and white hands this ladies Tissot is very legible. The crystal does have some slight crazing, but it is difficult to see. The signed crown is turned to power the movement, so even if you wear this sporadically you will never need to change a battery. The bracelet is good but does have a slight twist when not worn, a common trait with these integrated fine bracelets. The bracelet has been cleaned in our ultrasonic bath. This ladies Tissot in a semi precious metal case has to represent great value for money.

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.
