TISSOT Seastar ref.44010 cal.786-2 / 1970s New Old Stock with Price Tag

— The resonance of black and gold —

A gradient of dark brown into gold spreads across the dial, and a horizontal gold line running through the centre creates a quiet tension.

Gold indexes and hands lift out as they take the light, and a red seconds hand draws a single line of movement through that stillness.

Rare new old stock condition. A beautifully forceful dark brown and gold gradient dial. A red seconds hand as accent, with two-tone refinement. Fitted with Tissot's in-house automatic Cal.786-2 from the brand's golden age. A supreme vintage piece with its period "sister company of Omega" sticker and price tag still in place.

— Quiet, subdued colour —

Silver and gold links alternate along the bracelet, holding classical beauty and modern refinement together.

The brushed case and the shine of the gold bezel add a calm presence at the wrist.

— The beauty of use —

The date at three is highly legible, a design decision made with daily wear in mind. With an automatic movement inside, it satisfies on both function and beauty.

— Tissot's own design: Cal.786-2 —

Cal.786-2 is not an ETA movement but an in-house automatic Tissot developed during its golden age.

Its low-beat pulse carries a classical character, and its robust construction and serviceability are part of its appeal.

It demonstrates the brand's own engineering capability and is still favoured by collectors and by those who actually wear their watches.

— Evidence of the Omega sister company —

A sticker reading "Omega sister company, Tissot" survives, conveying the memory of its period quietly. This is new old stock — a rare piece kept in a condition as close to unused as it is possible to be.

— What the price tag tells us —

The original price tag reads ¥33,000.

¥10,000 in 1970 converts to roughly ¥33,000 in 2025 money — which is to say the watch was priced at about ¥100,000 in today's terms, a figure that still conveys how premium it was at the time.
