--- Introduction --- This Tissot A280 is a graceful dress watch that draws directly on the elegance of mid-century Swiss watchmaking. Its warm cream dial is framed by a railroad minute track with Arabic five-minute numerals, a raised applied "12", gilt baton and dot indices, and a sunken small-seconds sub-dial at six o'clock. The gold-plated round case, with its sculpted, flowing lugs, gives the piece a distinctly vintage-inspired character. Paired with a brown crocodile-pattern leather strap, it is a refined and understated companion for both formal and everyday wear. --- Specifications --- Brand: Tissot Series: Classic dress watch with small seconds Reference: A280 Movement: Quartz Case Material: Gold-plated case with stainless steel case back Crystal: Mineral crystal Dial: Cream with railroad minute track, applied 12 numeral, gilt indices and small seconds sub-dial Case Back: Stainless steel, engraved with the Tissot logo, reference A 280, Mineral Crystal and Water Resistant 30 M Bracelet: Brown crocodile-pattern leather strap with gold-tone pin buckle (aftermarket, not original Tissot) Period: 1990s Country of Origin: Switzerland --- Condition Report --- Overall: A good pre-owned example showing honest signs of use, consistent with its age.
