NO RESERVE - Tissot Visodate Seastar Seven - EU Shipping - 36mm - MINT - Professional Service - 1971 The Heritage & Story of the Seastar Seven A Pioneer of the Golden Era: In the 1960s, Tissot was at the peak of its creative and technical power, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Omega. The "Seastar Seven" was not just a name; it was a mark of rugged elegance designed for the adventurous gentleman. The "Monocoque" Innovation: The true soul of this watch lies in its "Monocoque" (one-piece) case design. In an era before modern gaskets, Tissot’s engineers realized that the weakest point for water and dust was the case back. By eliminating the back opening and requiring the movement to be accessed only through the crystal ("Use Key No. 335 T"), they created a hermetic seal that protected the heart of the watch like a vault. The Seafarer’s Emblem: On the back, you will find the iconic relief of a ship sailing under a rising sun. This emblem was a promise of reliability—a watch meant to accompany its owner from the deck of a yacht to a formal dinner in the city. It represents the mid-century transition from tool-watches to "lifestyle" luxury. Technical Specifications & Condition • Case: Stainless steel monocoque case in excellent condition with sharp lines.
