Condition Report

Grade B – Good vintage condition, with signs of wear consistent with age.

The watch retains a beautiful overall vintage appearance, with visible traces of use. The stainless-steel case shows scratches and small marks, particularly around the bezel, shoulders and rear surface. The silver dial remains attractive, with light age-related marks and subtle discolouration near the outer edge. The hands display patina and wear to their luminous inserts. The acrylic crystal presents surface scratches, while the generic leather strap shows some creasing. Please examine the photographs carefully, as they form an essential part of the condition description.

The watch’s water resistance has not been tested. Contact with water should therefore be avoided.

Story & Heritage

Tissot’s watchmaking story began in Le Locle, Switzerland, in 1853—a heritage that provides the background to its many distinctive vintage designs.

This Seastar Seven Date captures the appeal of a practical mechanical watch given an elegant geometric form. Its broad steel shoulders frame the circular dial, creating a distinctive silhouette without overwhelming its modest proportions. Brushed surfaces and polished accents bring subtle changes in reflection as the watch moves.

The silver dial continues that restrained approach. Slender applied markers with dark inserts provide contrast, while the fine vertical finish adds texture. At 3 o’clock, the framed date window introduces everyday usefulness without disturbing the clean layout.

Inside, the manual-wind movement preserves a personal connection between watch and wearer through the simple ritual of winding the crown. Paired with black leather, this Tissot Seastar Seven Date offers an appealing combination of Swiss tradition, balanced proportions and characterful vintage design.
