ORIGINAL 1970S RETRO WATCH TISSOT F1 QUARTZ WATCH REF S06254
This is a very handsome piece and obvious quality coming from Tissot. Brand new old stock and never worn, straight from 1978. It has a high technology quartz movement with jewels and gears unlike the cheap plastic things you get in today’s quartz watches. Setting the time is also an unusual affair. Hours are set by pulling the crown out and turning as normal but the mins are set by pushing the crown in and holding for five seconds , then releasing and pushing back in again . The mins hand then starts whizzing around on its own until you release the crown. Also the second hand can be fine tuned by repeatedly pushing the crown in and letting go which rapidly advances it or just holding the crown in to make the second hand stop until you desire it to start again. Such a handsome time piece with a black dial and white detailing. Also furnished with red second hand and date window. The crystal is mineral glass and case and bracelet all in stainless steel. Totally mint with not a single scratch or defect at all, this watch will fit any size wrist and will look fabulous on yours. Perfect working order, fitted with a new battery and holding time perfectly. I love these technologically advanced watches and they are getting very rare and sought after by collectors.
