Very Rare Vintage 1967 Tissot T12 Sonorous Alarm Diver Compressor Watch
Item History & Price
Very rare vintage 1967 Tissot T12 Sonorous Alarm Diver Compressor Watch.
The watch is in full working order and had a full service in 2020, it is keeping good time, the alarm functions correctly and the manual hand wound movement has a nice smooth winding action.
Stainless steel EPSA Compressor case 44mm diameter excluding crown. The watch wears smaller on the wrist than the 44mm might indicate due to the circular case shape. The watch has 3 signed crowns. The inner bezel r...otates and is operated using the top left crown. The alarm is wound and set using the top right crown. The time is set and wound using the lower right crown.
It is in overall good condition, with just the usual signs of wear you would expect for a 50 year old watch. The movement is the manually wound 17 jewel A. Schild Cal. 1475 rebranded inside as the Tissot Cal 780 which has just had a full service.
It comes on the original integrated Tissot stainless steel bracelet which is signed on the clasp, currently sized for an approximate 7 1/2" wrist size, but should fit a wrist size up to 8". It was professionally cleaned in 2020. There are no obvious signs of polishing on either the case or the bracelet.
The watch has not been pressure tested and being a vintage watch is not recommended for any swimming or diving activities.
No box or papers.
For reference, the wrist shot photos show the watch on an approximate wrist size of 7 1/2".
