About this watch

 

Firstly I have to say ,I just love this ,Its big and bold , the bulbous case design  is unusual but in the same time familiar strangely reminds me of the Omega dynamic geneves of the late 60's  Although that said why should it surprise me its not all this fantastic piece shares with Omega .

This Tissot T12 contains the Lemania 873 movement which is mechanically, the exact same movement as Omega’s 861 caliber. This is the same movement found in the Omega Speedmaster  the same watch that is qualified for space travel and this example works perfectly

The dial is in great original condition as is the original Bracelet signed Tissot but also Guy Freres ,a maker of the highest quality and now part of the Rolex group the strap is also dated which confirms this piece as 1970

So to sum up a style icon from 1970 housing the same movement that went to the moon on a strap that is second to none .and what great value ,these pieces are catching attention and are sure to increase in value very quickly .
