Tissot - Navigator Automatic “Pepsi Bakelite” [serviced] - 44940 - Άνδρες - 1967

Tissot Navigator Automatic “Pepsi Bakelite” – Ref. 44940 – Cal. 784-2 – Fully Original – 1967 – Men – Rare Collector’s Piece

A seriously collectible and increasingly elusive Tissot Navigator Automatic from 1967, fitted with its highly desirable original bakelite Pepsi bezel and powered by the celebrated Omega/Tissot joint movement, cal. 784-2.

This is not an ordinary vintage Tissot. This is one of the few references that advanced collectors actively chase, precisely because of its rarity, correct period design, and important movement pedigree. Examples do not appear often on the market, and finding one in this level of originality is becoming extremely difficult.

The watch remains fully original throughout, including:
• case
• dial
• hands
• crown
• movement
• bakelite bezel

The original black dial has the strong, purposeful character collectors want from late-1960s sport models, while the red/blue bakelite bezel gives the watch the unmistakable visual identity that made the Navigator one of the most charismatic Tissot designs of the era.

Inside is the highly respected Tissot cal. 784-2, part of the well-known Omega/Tissot shared movement family. For collectors who understand vintage Tissot, this is exactly the kind of mechanical detail that elevates the watch far above standard entry-level vintage pieces.

The watch works great and presents as a highly attractive collector’s watch with real long-term desirability.

It is currently fitted with a brand new “Marlon Brando's 'Apocalypse Now' Rolex” rubber strap, which gives it a strong vintage military-sport character. In addition, one black leather strap will be included as a gift.
