FAQ
Q: What is the water resistance rating of this Tissot Seastar?
A: The Tissot Seastar 1000 is water resistant to 30 bar, equivalent to 300 metres or 1000 feet. This professional dive watch rating makes it suitable for recreational scuba diving, snorkelling, and all water sports. The screw-down crown and caseback ensure the case remains sealed under pressure.
Q: Does this watch have an automatic or quartz movement?
A: This model is powered by a Swiss quartz chronograph movement, offering exceptional accuracy and low maintenance. Unlike automatic movements, quartz watches require battery replacement approximately every 2-3 years but deliver superior precision and do not require regular winding.
Q: What is the case size and will it fit my wrist?
A: The case measures 45.5mm in diameter with a thickness of 12.82mm, positioning this as a large sports watch with substantial wrist presence. It is best suited to wrist sizes 17cm and above. We recommend visiting our boutique for a fitting to ensure comfort and proportion.
Q: Can I change the bracelet to a NATO or rubber strap?
A: Yes, the 22mm lug width accepts standard aftermarket straps including NATO, rubber, and leather options. This allows you to customise the watch for different activities or style preferences. Our team can assist with strap changes and recommendations.
Q: What warranty does this Tissot watch come with?
A: As an authorised Tissot retailer, we provide a full 2-year international manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty is valid from the date of purchase and is honoured at authorised service centres worldwide.
Q: How do I use the chronograph function?
A: The chronograph is operated via two pushers flanking the crown. The top pusher starts and stops the chronograph, while the bottom pusher resets the hands to zero. The sub-dials track elapsed minutes and seconds, allowing you to time events up to 30 minutes with precision.
Q: Is this watch suitable for daily wear or only for diving?
A: While engineered to professional dive watch standards, the Seastar 1000 is equally suited to daily wear. The versatile design, comfortable bracelet, and 300-metre water resistance make it an excellent all-purpose sports watch that transitions seamlessly from office to ocean.

Care Guide
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water or chlorine to prevent corrosion and buildup on the case and bracelet.
- Ensure the crown is fully screwed down before any water exposure to maintain the 30 bar water resistance rating.
- Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet periodically with a soft cloth and mild soap solution, then dry thoroughly.
- Have the battery replaced by an authorised service centre when the chronograph or timekeeping becomes irregular—typically every 2-3 years.
- Avoid operating the chronograph pushers while underwater, as this can compromise water resistance seals.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from strong magnetic fields which can affect quartz movement accuracy.
- Have the water resistance gaskets tested and replaced every 2-3 years to maintain dive-ready performance.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes, chemicals, solvents, or perfumes which can damage seals and finishes.
- If the sapphire crystal becomes scratched or damaged, have it replaced promptly to prevent moisture ingress.
- Bracelet micro-adjustments and link removals should be performed by professionals to avoid damage to the clasp mechanism.
