Additional Info: This watch is extremely rare, only 2 of these prototypes are known. This watch features an in-house movement developed by SSIH to counter the almost imminent bankruptcy of Tissot in 1977. It is a very simple, but robust automatic movement containing several plastic parts. Tissot used this caliber in several models starting from 1977, but none of these models took up the design of this watch. The dial design as well as the case design are unique to these prototypes.
