Our Take
Whether you are a watch collector, an enthusiast, or just looking for a gift for your loved one, you cannot go wrong with a Tissot timepiece. This Tissot Ballade dates back to the mid-’90s with its stainless-steel case and gold coin rimmed bezel measuring around 24mm in diameter and 28mm from lug to lug, it’s rather petite. It has a precise Tissot quartz movement, which works as it should and keeps perfect time, all encased under a sapphire crystal. The textured dial is beige and has a combination of stick markers and Roman numerals, the date is located between 4 and 5 o’clock. A stainless case back, stamped Swiss Pack #C217/317C, is slightly faded/scuffed but at least it’s hidden while worn! The crown bears the logo and is a bit tight but functions as it should. The bi-metal strap is original with a butterfly clasp and will fit up to a 6.3” or 15.5cm wrist approximately. The watch comes without original box and papers but will have a gift box to accompany it. It has not been pressure sealed, so please do not use it near water.
