From my collection I have a very nice condition, unusual Tissot Navigator Automatic “Lobster” Chronograph. It has a Lemania sourced caliber 1341 (same as Omega 1040 sans 24h indication).
The nickname “Lobster” comes from the specially designed integrated, all stainless steel bracelet.
This is a seriously large watch with one of the finest automatic chronograph movements of its time.
The watch comes on a good length, original and integrated stainless steel bracelet.




Case: Very good condition with only normal signs of use. All stainless steel. It meassures 42.5(39.5 without crown) x 41 x 15 mm.

Caseback: Screwdown back.

Movement: Lemania caliber 1341 (Tissot 2170) automatic chronograph. Running great with an amplitude of 280 degrees and +/- 0(!) sec/day. All chronograph functions are working flawlessly.
Service history unknown.

Dial: Lovely black/grey dial in a very good and unrestored condition.

Hands: Original (unrestored).

Crystal: Good condition. Some minor marks.

Crown: Signed and in great condition.

Pushers: Great condition.

Bracelet: Great condition. Fits my 7.5” / 19cm wrist. Signed buckle with light inscriptions and a small dent (inscriptions may be removed easily).

Price: EUR825 - PayPal fees and tracked shipment inclusive.

Shipment: The watch and I are located in Norway. I will be helpful to assist in keeping import taxes at reasonable levels.

Q? Is this by chance a Gay Freres bracelet?


is that Hebrew on the clasp?

The bracelet is fully integrated. Basically the Tissot answer to Omega Lobster. The clasp is marked "Tissot 746" and All Stainless Steel.
I guess the inscription is Hebrew. I bought this one in Spain from a collector, and do not really know where it originally came from.
It is not very deep, and it is possible to remove, but I personally prefer to keep inscriptions since I feel they add up to the history and authenticity.

Hi - Tell the buyer that the inscription reads: "In recognition of 40 years" "Ha’argaz (Group)" That company is an industrial manufacturer that goes back to the years of the foundation of the state of Israel.
