Tissot Visodate T12 Vintage Automatic Watch

A wonderful oversized Sporty watch from the late 1960's - early 1970's.

The Tissot brand was at this time the sub brand of Omega, much the same way that Tudor exists as the sub brand of Rolex. Tissot has had a long and storied past predating it's involvement with Omega.

The oversized stainless steel cushion case makes a dominating statement on the wrist and the presence of an inner rotating bezel and a second winding crown to control it adds to the sporty appearance of the watch.

The Tissot automatic 21 jewel movement was serviced by the Tissot dealer prior to my purchase of the watch and it is running flawlessly.

The watch is supplied in the Tissot presentation box I bought it in, I am not sure if it was the original box it was sold in but it was bought from an authorized Tissot dealer who took it in on trade.

The watch is supplied on a period correct solid stainless steel link bracelet. The watch head measures 42mm by 49mm long.

Regina Vintage Digital Watch

This Vintage Regina watch is like new old stock. The watch features a digital direct read display showing hours and minutes. The styling of the watch along with the brown tone dial on gold tone case is a dead give away for dating the watch to the 1970's Unlike most of the direct read watches you see in the market, this model is fitted with a proper mechanical movement, made by the Savoie watch company, with 17 jewels and a shock-proof balance. The case is gold tone with no wear to the case and is in virtually new old stock condition. The watch measures 37 mm wide by 41 mm long and is supplied on a new black or brown leather strap.
