THE WATCH

Navigator Yachting Ref. 45503

Seldom seen Tissot Navigator “Yachting” Chronograph ref. 45503 in very good  condition with the high end Lemania cal. 1341/Tissot 2170. The case is showing only minor to normal signs of wear and the dial is a deep graduated blue. The orange sub dial hand shows some paint loss. The date wheel has a couple scratches on a limited number of dates(17 and 24). It even comes with the original bracelet and buckle. The Crystal is in fantastic condition and the Omaga logo is in the centre ish, we tried to highlight it with some bright light but it is hard to capture but rest assured its the genuine article along with the all original watch . Gently serviced by our watchmaker and is running smoothly allowing us to send this watch out with confidence and our 12 month non waterproof warranty

Wondering why we have an Omega logo in the crystal? At that time, similar to Tudor and Rolex. Tissot and Omega shared parts and knowledge. We love the fact that the case back is blank just the place the Omega seamaster hippocampus would have sat.

A BIT OF TRIVIA

Tissot merged with watch company Omega SA in 1930, forming SSIH (Société Suisse pour l'Industrie Horlogère) and Tissot-Omega watches from this era are sought after by collectors.

Tissot's first engagement as an official timekeeper was in 1938 where they timed a series of ski races in Villars-sur-Ollon, near the company's hometown in the Jura mountains. Tissot was used for timing downhill skiing in Switzerland in 1938, and for the Davis Cup in 1957

SSIH-ASUAG was formed in 1983 (Allgemeine Schweizerische Uhrenindustrie Aktiengesellschaft, ASUAG, was a holding company supplying the watch industry), then SMH (Société Suisse de Microélectronique et d’horlogerie; 1983–1985).

SMH took the name of the Swatch Group in 1998. Tissot SA remained in Le Locle, Switzerland, and marketed in 160 countries

Tissot is an official timekeeper for the world championships in cycling, motorcycling, fencing and ice hockey, etc. Tissot was a sponsor for the Formula One car-racing teams Lotus, Renault, and Sauber.

OUR THOUGHTS

The Tissot 45503 goes under the radar for most people, but its one of the 'if you know you know watches', a great watch all round, with great style, function and real presence on the wrist. Everything you get in an Omega Seamaster Yachting at a fraction of the price. This would make a great addition to any collection.
