The iconic Tissot RockWatch design first came out in 1986. Made from Swiss mountains, each one is unique. Model reference R150.
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
The Rockwatch can not be accurately dated to a year of production, but we know they were launched in 1986 and we have had one with sales paperwork from 1992, so we know we are in the right area.
CONDITION
Tissot sold 1/2 million of these Rockwatch models in the late 80s / early 90s, and they were the first to use granite from the Swiss alps to case a watch. This means each one is completely individual. The red and yellow hands were chosen to symbolise the signs on Swiss mountain passes.
This watch has hardly been worn. The Tissot leather band and buckle are still almost like new. The case doesn’t have any chips or cracks (with granite being a natural material this was always a risk). This particular example has an attractive speckled flecks in the granite. The anti reflective crystal doesn’t have any damage. This must be as nice an example as you will find. We have shown the watch on both male and female wrists to show the size better, as 30mm is considered to be unisex.
We have also found an original TV advert for this model, and you can see that here.
We will install a brand new battery before sending the watch out to the new owner. The leather strap is an original Tissot item with correct buckle too.
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.
