On offer is a vintage Tissot Seastar Visodate PR516 wristwatch.Introduced in 1965 to a design by the Swiss stylist, Lucien Gurtner (who also designed the iconic model '707' lightweight steel bracelet, which was a PR516 option), the PR516 featured an all new, stronger case with brushed surfaces and integrated lugs, combined with a thicker crystal and better water sealing in order to cope better with active sports use.
Powered by Tissot's own movement, the 21 jewel, caliber 784, which features an automatic winder and a date display, this watch, from the first year of production, is in very fine condition throughout and keeps excellent time.Tissot signed crown and clear, original crystal with tension ring.
Tissot signed, steel bracelet, 9005-2000, in very nice condition with secure catch.
Wonderful, rare, two tone dial of slate grey and white is in excellent condition and the way the light plays on the surfaces is one reason vintage watches are so desirable.
It's no coincidence that Tissot have introduced a range of PR516 watches recently, to honour the iconic, popular originals.
Case size 34mm X 41mm X 12mm. Strap lugs 18mm.
