I am offering a beautiful and rare vintage piece for auction!

Its specialty is the rare dial with a salmon-colored grain, which provides an extremely unique texture and unparalleled aesthetic experience in person. Based on the serial number 11541541 visible on the movement, the exact age of the watch can also be determined: it was made precisely in 1970. The Tissot 796 caliber beating inside is the manufacturer's own (in-house) developed, indestructible automatic movement, which was used between 1968 and 1972. This robust, 17-jewel construction is a prime example of the Swiss precision of the era, features a 45-hour power reserve, and thanks to the double (day and date) calendar display, makes this timepiece an extremely practical and valuable piece even for everyday wear. No reserve price – the highest bid takes it! The photos are original, unmanipulated, and form part of the description. The watch is a used (vintage) piece, therefore minor scratches or signs of use may occur. Fast, insured shipping. Please check my feedback – customer satisfaction is the most important for me.
