Tissot Seastar Navigator Chronograph Watch. Rare white dial.
Tissot Navigator Vintage Chronograph, Model 40522. Valjoux 7734 manual wind. A really great example.
This is a super example just check that dial, no sunburn or lume crumble it's as clean as you will find. The case still has the brushing on the front and lugs & polishing on the side. Also the tachymeter bezel is good as most are completely faded or just plain black & good luck trying to find a old stock one.
It has its original tissot crown and I fitted a new sternkrauz armour tension ring crystal.
Its running perfectly on the timegrapher a strong amplitude, no beat error. Finally I fitted a lovely new
ZRC French black leather hand made rally strap with contrasting red stitch & punched holes .
It's just a lovely example of what a vintage sports Chronograph should be. These are rising in price and harder to find in this condition and good working order. Tissot nailed this model. I have one in my own collection which I will always keep as there the epitome of 1970's sport Chronograph.
The Tissot Seastar Navigator reference 40522 is a wonderfully 70s yachting chronograph. It features the manual-winding Valjoux caliber 7734, which sits inside its 41mm brushed & polished stainless steel case.
The case is 13mm thick and measured 42.5mm lug-to-lug and a 20mm lug width. This
specific watch is from 1974, as far as I was able to determine using an online Tissot serial number decoder. As I mentioned this example of the watch features a rare white dial which is immaculate.
The hands and indices have tritium lume in both the silver baton hands and rectangular hour markers which have aged to a beautiful vanilla colour with no crumble and are perfectly intact. Unusual to see such a clean white vintage dial on this model.
The sub-dials are a lovely contrasting grey/ blue shade. Inside the running seconds sub-dial at 9 o’clock, a small bright-red hand can be found, as well as the “20”, “40”, and “60” second marks.
On the opposite side of the dial at the 3 o’clock position, the elapsed minutes counter features a bright white hand that advances once per minute for a count of up to 30 minutes. Finally a nicely framed date window sits at the 6 o’clock position. As you can see, it’s a great example.
