Gents 1970s Tissot Astrolon wrist watch
Gents 1970s Tissot Astrolon wrist watch.
The watch has a signed hand-winding Sytal or Astrolon movement which is working nicely.
In 1952, it filed a patent for a revolutionary “oil-less watch”. The project was named “Sytal” for “Système Tissot d’auto-lubrification”. The number of standard parts was reduced from around 91 to 52 and most of the mechanism was made from Teflon-type self-lubricating plastic with a mere handful of metal components. The movement was designed to be ultra cheap to produce, maintenance-free and, ultimately, disposable.
Following 19 years in development, the Astrolon movement (a name chosen to associate with “nylon”) emerged into the world in 1972.
The watch measures 35mm wide excluding the winding crown and 37mm high excluding the lugs. The case is stainless steel and it is in good condition with just minor marking, nothing serious at all. Tissot signed winding crown.
The lens is in good condition.
The signed dial is in its original finish with original hands, seconds sweep and outer minute markers.
A new leather strap has been fitted.
The watch comes in a new presentation box.
ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (excluding Northern Ireland).
Please contact us before placing international orders so that we can advise of shipping prices and to see if customs regulations allow us to post watches to your country.
The international buyer is responsible for paying any import duties and taxes.
All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.
We are a VAT registered company and all purchases are covered by Consumer Regulations.
Credit / debit card purchases can be made over the telephone on 01386 750238 or you can proceed via the \'Buy Securely\' button on each listing page.
We are an on-line only business and do not have facilities for callers. Our offices are open from Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
With regards to appraisals / valuations, we receive a huge number of information requests each day and unfortunately do not have the manpower to deal with them all individually. Our advice would be to contact a local auctioneer for a full appraisal.
