Sold: Tissot Research idea 2001 for 750,- euro

Sold to Spain

An almost impossible to find watch. These came in many versions but only sold for short periode in time since these watches did not live up to the expectation. The plastic movement was created to compete with the upcoming quartz revolution in the 1970's. I was indeed much cheaper to produced but it did not last long enough. After a few years so many watches broke down that they stopped producing them.
 This one is the "original" after this transparent version that is the only version featured in various watch books, came the red transparent version and a little later various colours (even light blue and orange, transparent and non transparent) and with various wordings. This one comes with the original plastic buckle as well and the original crown.
