Story & Heritage
Founded in Le Locle in 1853, Tissot has played an important role in Swiss watchmaking for more than a century and a half, producing watches that combine traditional design, technical innovation and practical everyday functionality.
The Seastar name has been used by Tissot across several generations of watches. While earlier Seastar models were predominantly mechanical, the arrival of quartz technology opened a new chapter for the collection, reflecting one of the most significant transformations in modern watchmaking.

This example captures the aesthetic of that era particularly well. Its softly squared case, gold-tone bezel and crown contrast with a classical Roman numeral dial, creating a combination of traditional Swiss styling and unmistakable 1980s design.
At approximately 33 mm, it retains the refined proportions characteristic of men's watches of the period.
A charming vintage Tissot for collectors of classic Swiss quartz watches and distinctive 1980s design.
