Tissot Seastar

Swiss luxury watchmaker Tissot introduced the Seastar diver way back in the 1950s, giving the Seastar a lasting tradition in the industry. The current collection includes a number of different models with quartz or automatic movements and an array of sizes, with something to suit just about every taste and style.

Tissot's Seastar watches are designed to be sporty and elegant, with both the three-hand models and chronographs available in versions to suit almost all styles and occasions. The collection also has a lot to offer in terms of water resistance. Timepieces in the Seastar 1000 range are water-resistant up to 300 m (30 bar, 984 ft), and the Seastar 2000 is water-resistant up to 600 m (60 bar, 1,969 ft).

The manufacturer uses movements from the Swiss movement manufacturer ETA. Like Tissot itself, the company is part of the Swatch Group, which means that the calibers can be purchased at favorable prices, which is ultimately reflected in the price of the watches. Automatic three-hand timepieces in the Seastar line are fitted with the Powermatic 80, which offers a power reserve of 80 hours. Seastar chronographs, on the other hand, only come with quartz calibers.

Thanks to their affordable prices, Seastar watches are also ideal for young watch lovers who want a long-lasting, high-quality Swiss timepiece.

You can purchase a mint-condition Tissot Seastar 1000 on Chrono24 for approximately 430 USD, which will get you a quartz-powered 36-mm unisex model, for example. If you'd prefer a quartz chronograph from the Seastar 1000 collection, expect to shell out an average of 600 USD. An automatic model with three hands and a case diameter of 43 mm will set you back between 650 and 760 USD. Top models in the Seastar 2000 collection measure 46 mm in diameter and trade hands on Chrono24 for roughly 920 USD.

How does the Tissot Seastar differ from other Tissot models?

Watches in the Tissot Seastar collection differ from other Tissot lines primarily in terms of function and design. Seastar watches are sporty and aimed at young, active watch enthusiasts. Plus, thanks to their diving bezels and high water resistance, they're also suitable for swimming and diving. Tissot reserves these features exclusively for its Seastar collection.

Can women wear a Tissot Seastar?

The Tissot Seastar collection is also home to a number of models that make ideal women's watches. The 36-mm quartz versions, for example, are available in stainless steel or two-tone versions with a black, white, or blue dial.
