Presented earlier this year on occasion of Baselworld 2018, the Tissot Seastar 1000 Automatic Diver is a watch that offers a lot for its price.

Tissot launched its first water-resistant watches with the Camping collection, in 1938. Since then, Tissot kept improving waterproofness of its watches. In 1954, the Tissot Seastar collection was launched with highlights like the Tissot T12 (1956) that was guaranteed to a depth of 120 metres / 400 feet. A few years later, the Tissot Seastar Seven marked a patented monocoque system and a thinner design.

Available in four main variations, the Seastar 1000 Automatic Diver comes in a 43 mm x 12.7 mm stainless steel case equipped with a unidirectional ceramic bezel and water resistant up to a pressure of 30 bar (300 metres / 1,000 feet) thanks to screw-down crown and caseback.

The most appealing version is presented with a black rubber strap with pin buckle, black bezel and a gradient dark blue dial with luminous hands and markers protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The other models — blue dial with blue bezel, black dial with black bezel and silver dial with black bezel — are matched to a robust steel bracelet secured by a folding clasp with safety and diver extension.

The exhibition case-back displays the Swiss automatic ETA calibre Powermatic 80 with 25 jewels, a beat-rate of 21,600 vibrations per hour and a power reserve of 80 hours.

The 2018 edition of the Tissot Seastar 1000 Automatic Diver is attractively priced at Euro 675 / US$ 695 with rubber strap or Euro 695 / US$ 725 with metal bracelet. tissot.ch
