TISSOT Seastar ref.44640-2X cal.786-2 / 1970s New Old Stock, Blue Dial

— The resonance of blue —

The deep blue dial wavers as it takes the light, like a calm surface of water.

Silver indexes and hands rise out of that blue and quietly draw the outline of time.

The date at six adds function without disturbing the balance of the dial, and carries a usefulness that stays close to daily life.

Superb new old stock condition. A beautiful deep blue dial with a date at six. Fitted with Tissot's in-house automatic Cal.786-2 from the brand's golden age. A period "sister company of Omega" sticker and price tag still in place: a small miracle that seals in the air of the 1970s.

— The quiet of steel —

A round case where polish and brushing cross marks a calm presence at the wrist.

The aftermarket mesh bracelet fitted combines a softness that settles against the skin with a visual delicacy, in harmony with the classical case.

— 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 ¥31,000.

¥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.
