Vintage 1960s Tissot Seastar Seven Manual 17J Swiss Square Steel 30mm Watch Box

About this watch

A stylish and hard-to-find Tissot Seastar Seven from the 1960s. The silver brushed dial is signed "Tissot" and "Seastar Seven", with applied baton markers and baton hands.

The square brushed stainless-steel case is a front-loading (monocoque) design: the movement is accessed through the front, and the solid back is engraved with the Seastar sailboat emblem, "Waterproof" and "Use Key No. 275 T". It measures about 30mm excluding the crown, with a lug-to-lug of about 34mm, and wears on a black leather strap.

Brand heritage

Tissot was founded in 1853 in Le Locle, in the Swiss Jura, by Charles-Félicien Tissot and his son Charles-Émile. Its early precision pocket watches were exported as far as Russia, and in 1951 the brand introduced the Navigator, a mass-produced automatic world-time watch. The Seastar name has been used since the 1950s for Tissot's water-resistant everyday watches.
