The Tissot Seastar 1000

The Tissot Seastar 1000 Reference T120.407.37.051.00 is a 1000 feet [300 metre] rated dive watch, not to be confused with 1000 metres depth rating. The naming is a little misleading, apart from the US, the rest of the world works in metres and not feet and until I looked at the dial a little more closely, I thought it was 1000 metre rated. Every professional dive watch is now rated to 300 metres of water resistance. 

 

The 43 mm case is 316L stainless steel with a black PVD coating, screw-down crown and screw-in case back, this is a serious dive watch that looks the part and also is up for the task. The latest interaction of the Seastar comes with the Powermatic 80 automatic movement that can be viewed through the display caseback, this is a solid and proven ETA movement upgraded to Tissot specifications.

The all black case, dial, bezel insert and strap with white highlights really work, the black rubber strap is well suited to this watch. There is Super-LumiNova® on the hands and index markers. I do like the round index markers on the dial with straight markers on the major numbers. The date at 6 o’clock adds to the symmetry for the dial, all-in-all, I think the all black Seastar really works.
