Watch Overview

This is the Tissot Stylist, reference 41422 — a refined vintage men’s dress watch dated from 1972 and powered by the hand-wound mechanical Tissot caliber 791 with 17 jewels, beating at 18,000 vibrations per hour and offering an impressive 49-hour power reserve. Showcasing understated elegance, it features a gold-tone dial with applied black and gold hour markers and matching gold hands, all housed in a sleek 24mm rectangular "jumbo tank" case crafted from yellow gold-plated metal. It has a smooth fixed bezel, snap-on case back, and original signed pull-push crown. Fitted with its original black signed Tissot two-piece strap and buckle, this timepiece is an example of mid-century minimalist design. Presented in very good condition, it has been fully inspected by our watchmaker, verified for authenticity, and is fully functional — keeping accurate time and ready to wear. A perfect choice for collectors seeking Swiss heritage, mechanical craftsmanship, and timeless style in a classic rectangular format.

Tissot's dedication to craftsmanship and performance has earned it a global reputation, serving as the official timekeeper for major sporting events including the NBA, FIBA, and MotoGP.
