Item History & Price

For sale Swiss made 1970's Tissot T12 compressor divers watch.I bought this watch off the original owner and it is in lovely original condition.It uses a UFO shape all steel case.It is a large size for it's era, at 44mm and the steel case is in very good used condition.
Most of these have been polished within an inch of their life - not this one.
It has a beautiful matt black dial with blue minute track and tritium and steel markers.
The dial is in excellent condition and... has nicely aged tritium markers and date window at 3.
The only thing to note with the dial is under a loupe it looks like someone has touched up the centre of the dial (behind the hands) with a tiny dab of black paint.
This has probably been done to disguise some swirl marks and is unnoticeable when when viewed with the naked eye.
You can only see this with a loupe and you would never know it was there otherwise but worth mentioning.
It has original hands (with cool blue second hand) with perfect aged tritium in fill.
It states "swiss made" at the base,
The watch has it's fully working inner rotating bezel in superb condition.
The bezel is super cool and really sets the watch off.
All of the tritium is original and still glows in the dark.
The watch has it's original Tissot signed screw down crowns.
This is a quite a chunky watch and feels very substantial on the wrist.
It has a screw on caseback in superb order with an engraving of a ship.
The watch uses a high quality signed Tissot 17 jewel cal 796 automatic movement.
The watch keeps excellent time and has great power reserve.
It comes with it's original integrated Gay Freres bracelet in excellent condition.
It will fit up to a 7 inch wrist - so bear this in mind.
It is 44mm in diameter and 43.5mm lug to lug.
This is a very original example in lovely condition and quite a rare Tissot now.
They are superbly made and real sleepers.
Any questions please feel free to ask.
