Deskripsi
SPECIFICATION
Movement: Tissot Caliber 2403 or Caliber 709
Circa: 1970s
Dial: Sparkle / Stardust Dial: The dial is finished with a micro-granular metallic texture that captures light unevenly, making it look like crystalline frost or a “snowflake” surface rather than a smooth, solid-colored print.
Case Dimensions: 22mm width (excluding the crown) x 27mm lug-to-lug length.
Lug Width: 12mm (perfectly standard for ladies’ cocktail dress watches from the 1970s era, transitioning beautifully to the strap).
Thickness: 8mm total depth (case profile is typically around 5mm–6mm, plus 2mm for the acrylic dome).
Power Reserve: Approximately 38 to 42 hours on a full hand-wind.
Beat Rate: 21,600 vibrations per hour (vph).
Dial Details: Applied baton steel markers, “TISSOT” printed logo below 12 o’clock, and “SWISS MADE” hidden right at the very bottom edge of the 6 o’clock marker.
CONDITION
Overall in very good vintage condition.
Dial, case, and back casa have minimal stratches. Movement runs perfectly with good power reserve. Strap has been replace with aftermarket one.
COLLECTOR’S NOTES
1. Design & Rarity Factors
– The “TV Screen” Shape Trend: The cushion/TV-screen case is the quintessential silhouette of 1970s watch design. While round vintage ladies’ watches are incredibly common and often overlooked, geometric profiles (Tonneau, Tank, and TV cases) are highly sought after by collectors who appreciate mid-century retro aesthetics.
– The Premium Sparkle/Snowflake Dial: Solid silver or white dials are standard. Finding a textured “snowflake” or “stardust” variant adds a massive premium to its visual appeal. Collectors heavily favor these textured dials because they cannot be easily faked or replicated by modern redialing practices.
– The Clean Time-Only Layout: The lack of a date window and a sweeping seconds hand keeps the dial perfectly symmetrical and emphasizes the texture of the face.
