Navigator Automatic - Vintage Mens Skin Diver Watch
€945.00
For sale is a Swiss Made Tissot Navigator, a so-called "skin diver" men's watch with reference 44646-1X, presumably dating back to the mid 1970s. Skin divers were meant to fill the gap between full blown dive watches and non-waterproof watches. This particular model features a stainless steel case with a diameter of around 36.5mm, and a thickness of just under 14mm. The dial on this Tissot comes in a lovely matte black with white railroad track around the outer edge, and thick bright lume plots at each 5 minute mark. The lumed stick shaped hands are finished in a contrasting white, with a bright orange seconds hand for that funky 1970s flair. A domed dive watch plexiglass crystal protects the dial from the elements. Surrounding the watch face is a bi-directionally rotating bezel with glossy numerals on a black background. The crown is original and bears the Tissot logo.
Inside the watch beats an automatic Tissot 2481 Calibre: said movement was co-designed with Omega in the 1970s, and is identical to the Omega Cal. 1481: this is a testament of its build quality and reliability. The movement was entirely disassembled, cleaned and lubricated, and is working perfectly. The watch comes fitted to a brand new leather strap with generic stainless steel buckle, matching the vintage skin diver theme.
The example sold here has been worn throughout its life, which is evident by quite a bit of present but fair wear marks. The most notable damage can be found on the bezel, with a few scratches to the finish. The case is unpolished and therefore in original shape. The dial and hands have aged wonderfully, and are in as good a condition as a 1970s watch can be. The reinforced domed plexiglass is brand new and adds to the beefy look of the watch. Please study the pictures in this listing well: they show the watch in the condition that it is in, with no digital enhancements to make it look better than it is. We are sure that you like honesty, and so do we. Functionally, the watch has been freshly serviced with eye for authenticity, and is working perfectly. Comes as a watch only: sadly no original box or paperwork are accompanying this piece.
Your new timepiece will be packaged with great care, and will be shipped out as fast as possible. We usually ship the same day your payment comes in, and provide full insurance as well as a tracking code for all of our packages. If you have any questions regarding the item or our services, please do not hesitate to reach out. We'll gladly assist as soon as we get the chance.
