Story & Heritage

The Tissot Seastar collection represents one of the most appreciated chapters in Tissot’s vintage production. Designed as elegant yet practical wristwatches, Seastar models combined everyday reliability with refined Swiss styling.

The Visodate name is closely connected to Tissot’s history of date watches, offering a useful and elegant calendar display while preserving the clean design language of a classic mechanical watch. The T-12 line added a stronger wrist presence and a more robust character, making these watches very attractive to vintage collectors today.

This example captures the spirit of mid-century Swiss watchmaking: a balanced 36 mm case, a silver crosshair dial, warm gold tones and an automatic Tissot movement inside. A charming vintage piece for collectors who appreciate authentic Swiss watches with character, patina and history.
