FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS A BRUTISH 70s TISSOT NAVIGATOR SIGNED 5X WITH ORIGINAL BRACELET IN AWESOME CONDITION.
-
CASE: HEFTY C-SHAPED SOLID STEEL CASE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. REALLY NICE FACTORY ORIGINAL BRUSHED FINISH ON THE TOP IS STILL INTACT. THIS BEAST MEASURES A LARGE 40.5mm ACROSS CASE NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL SIGNED CROWN BY 42.5mm LUG TO LUG. THERE ARE SOME MINOR DINGS NEAR THE LUG TIPS AND EDGES, BUT OVERALL THIS ONE IS IN NICE ORIGINAL CONDITION. CHECK OUT THAT AWESOME TACHY BEZEL IN GOOD SHAPE WITH SOME MINOR WEAR AT THE PERIPHERY. I JUST LOVE THE WAY THIS ONE WEARS...NICE AND HEFTY ON THE WRIST.
-
DIAL: POSSIBLY MY FAVORITE DIAL VARIANT OF THIS SEASTAR MODEL. IT'S A VERY SUBTLE CONTRAST BETWEEN THE GLOSS BLACK SUBDIALS AND THE MATTE BLACK BACKGROUND. I LOVE THOSE AGED TRITIUM LUME MARKERS WHICH ADD A NICE PATINA TO THE FACE. THE HEAVY WHITE PRINT OF THE DIAL ADDS SOME NICE CONTRAST AS WELL AS THOSE GROOVY WHITE HANDS. THE CHERRY RED CHRONO SWEEP HAND ADDS A LITTLE PLAYFUL POP OF COLOR TO THIS OTHERWISE UTILITARIAN FACE.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS DUDE IS POWERED BY A VALJOUX 7734 ALL FUNCTIONS WORK PERFECTLY AND WATCH HAS BEEN KEEPING EXCELLENT TIME. ALL CHRONO FUNCTIONS WORK CRISPLY. THERE ARE SOME SERVICE MARKS ON THE INSIDE OF THE CASEBACK AND MOVEMENT LOOKS CLEAN, BUT NO SPECIFIC KNOWN SERVICE HISTORY. I'VE BEEN WEARING THIS ONE FOR WEEKS, AND IT'S BEEN RUNNING LIKE A CHAMP.
- THIS SEASTAR NAVIGATOR COMES WITH ITS ORIGINAL SIGNED TISSOT BRACELET WHICH SHOULD FIT UP TO A 7.5" WRIST COMFORTABLY. THE BRACELET IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION AND WEARS SO FANASTIC. IN MY OPINION, THE BRACELET MAKES THIS WATCH. THESE TISSOT NAVIGATORS ARE SOME OF THE BEST 70s CHRONOGRAPHS COMBINING EXCELLENT STYLE, TOUGH AS NAILS CONSTRUCTION, PERFECT LEGIBILITY, AND VERY WEARABLE C-SHAPED CASES. THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE AND IS A GREAT DAILY WEARER.
