ORIGINAL 1970S RETRO WATCH

TISSOT BUGGY AUTOLUB REF D0835

Here is a fine example of the very rare Tissot buggy autolub in new old stock condition . This watch is not a remake , it is a genuine old stock piece that has been in storage from the 1980s and is now your chance to own it again . This is a wind-up mechanical movement was a result of extensive research into new technologies and experiments with new materials by Tissot . Known as " Tissot Research Idea 2001 " , also called the Astrolon . Developed by Tissot as an inexpensive design since some of the gear wheels are made of plastic unfortunately it proved to be insufficiently accurate and was a marketing disaster . This Swiss made watch is exceptionally rare , especially as there were very few ever made and not many examples available today . It has classic 1970s design and rings all the right bells with retro fans . The dial is pure 70s in brown and furnished with white hour batons and hands with date window at 6 . Its case is gorgeous with a lovely pillow shape and finished in brushed gold plate . Totally mint mark free condition . It comes on a quality padded leather strap in tan . A must for any serious watch collector as well as fans of anything retro . This is a highly sought after piece of horological history in great condition .
