Vintage 1961 Tissot Seastar Manual Wind (Cal 781) Watch in very good condition
The watch is in full working order and is in excellent condition given its ages (circa 62 years old).
Movement:
It
uses a high quality 17 jewel Tissot signed manual wind calibre 781 movement that runs well and keeping good time. The watch movement is remarkably clean (as shown in the photos) and had obviously benefited from services in the past.
Dial & Crystal:
Dial is Champagne / ivory in colour that changes subtly in different lighting conditions. It has gilt markers and original gilt hands (with original radium, now harmless). The crystal is also in near perfect condition showing no visible scratches or imperfections.
Case, back & Crown:
Stainless steel in very good condition but shows signs of wear and has not been polished. The screw on caseback has a few scratches but in good conditions. It has a nice
sharp Seastar logo and stamped on the inside with the model number. It retains is original Tissot crown. Overall it would seem this watch was lightly worn during its life.
