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.
