ORIGINAL 1970S RETRO WATCH

ATRONIC QUARTZ REF MY09161

This watch is high quality Swiss made piece and one of the earliest quartz watches made . It uses a Tissot 2030 Cal movement and predecessor to what Tissot put in there F1 models . Take a look at the picture and you can see the incredible little stepper motor that runs the watch . The hour hand is set by pulling the crown out and turning but the second and min hands　are set using a sequence of pushing and holding the crown in like a button instead of turning like a crown . The stepper motor whirrs the hands into position using metal gears and cogs unlike today's modern watches with a penny size piece of plastic inside them .　This was cutting edge technology of its time and seem nearly bullet proof , fabulously reliable .

The dial is a handsome looker in silver with　stick chrome hour indexes and hands with a date window at 3 . It is set in a chromium case　and mounted on a stainless steel bracelet . Totally original and in brand new condition , never used and just as if you bought it from the shop yesterday although it is over 30 years old . This watch is in perfect working order and holding time accurately . A great investment as early electric and quartz watches are being bought up rapidly by specialist collectors Watch dimensions

Top case to bottom 40mm , side to side ( without crown ) 36mm , thickness ( crystal to back cover ) 12.8mm .
