For sale is this beautifully proportioned Tissot Seastar T12 Tri-Compax Chronograph from the late 60's/early 70's, an era when Tissot were still merged with Omega. This T12 is powered by the Lemania 1873 movement which is better known as the Omega c861 as used in the Speedmaster Professional.

The watch is running nicely with excellent time-keeping, and a nice crisp chronograph action with everything running/resetting perfectly.

The case measures 42mm excluding crown but is only 12mm thick including the Plexi, and wears beautifully due to the caseback curving gently from lug to lug which allows it to really hug the wrist. The case is in very good condition. It has plenty of hairlines on the polished stainless case but no deep scratches or dings, and the case edges are still very sharp and well defined. The caseback has a Galleon engraved in the centre which is still in very sharp relief, but there are a few scratches on the outer perimeter of the back, though nothing too serious.

The dial is a stunner with a black outer ring and inner dark grey centre incorporating 3 recessed sub dials. There is plenty of colour going on with a white Tachy scale, white seconds markers and red hour markers. The hours also have raised chrome indices. The hours, minutes and sub seconds dial all have white hands, and the chrono hands (main centre seconds and remaining two sub dials) have orange hands. The dial is marked T-swiss made-T and the hour and minute hands have the original tritium infill intact, and it has turned a lovely creamy colour.

The watch has it's original signed crown and comes on it's beautiful (presumed original) Rally style, holey black leather strap and original buckle (with matching drilled holes).

The watch will come with a genuine Tissot box (not the right era but still something to keep it in).

Thanks
