The Tissot Seastar 1000 Quartz 36mm is a precision-engineered dive watch that combines Swiss reliability with elegant two-tone aesthetics. Housed in a 36mm stainless steel case with rose gold PVD accents and a matching bi-colour bracelet, this timepiece is rated to 300 metres water resistance, making it a serious tool watch with refined cosmopolitan appeal. The mother-of-pearl dial catches light beautifully, while the unidirectional rotating bezel with rose gold numerals provides essential dive timing functionality. A date window at 6 o'clock and applied hour markers with luminescent treatment ensure legibility in all conditions.
Powered by a Swiss-made quartz movement, the Seastar 1000 delivers exceptional accuracy and low-maintenance performance. The screw-down crown and caseback guarantee water integrity, while the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial from daily wear. This 36mm case diameter makes it equally suited to smaller wrists and those who prefer a more refined profile, without compromising the robust construction expected from the Seastar collection. The combination of polished and brushed finishing across the case and bracelet lends visual depth and professional versatility.

Whether you're drawn to the technical credentials of a 300-metre dive watch or the luxurious contrast of rose gold and steel, this Seastar delivers on both fronts. Our watch servicing and repairs team is always available for battery replacements, bracelet adjustments, and ongoing care.
The Tissot Seastar 1000 collection has earned a reputation for offering genuine dive watch capability at accessible price points, and this 36mm quartz variant upholds that tradition.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for diving?
A: Yes, the Seastar 1000 is rated to 300 metres water resistance with a screw-down crown and caseback, making it fully suitable for recreational diving. The unidirectional rotating bezel allows you to track dive time safely.
Q: What is the difference between quartz and automatic movements?
A: Quartz movements are battery-powered and offer superior accuracy with minimal maintenance. This Tissot uses a Swiss quartz calibre that requires a battery change approximately every 2-3 years, whereas automatic movements are mechanically wound by wrist motion and require no battery.
Q: Is the 36mm case size suitable for men?
A: While marketed as a women's or unisex watch, the 36mm case diameter is a classic size that suits smaller wrists or those who prefer vintage-inspired proportions. The robust dive watch design and two-tone finish give it versatile appeal across genders.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized?
A: Yes, the solid-link bracelet can be professionally resized by removing or adding links. We offer complimentary bracelet sizing with purchase at our Mall of the South boutique, and our service team can assist with adjustments at any time.
Q: What does the rose gold PVD coating mean?
A: PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) is a high-tech coating process that bonds rose gold-coloured material to the stainless steel. It is significantly more durable than plating and highly resistant to scratching, fading, and tarnishing over time.
Q: Is the mother-of-pearl dial genuine?
A: Yes, Tissot uses genuine mother-of-pearl on this dial, which is a natural material harvested from oyster shells. Each dial will have unique iridescent patterns and colour variations, making every watch subtly individual.
Q: Does this watch come with a warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from Cassim & Co. as an authorised Tissot retailer, this watch comes with a full 2-year international manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty does not cover normal wear, battery replacement, or damage from misuse.
Warranty

Care Guide
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater, chlorine, or sweat to prevent residue build-up on the case and bracelet.
- Ensure the screw-down crown is fully tightened before any water exposure to maintain the 300-metre water resistance rating.
- Avoid operating the crown or bezel while the watch is submerged or wet, as this may compromise the seals.
- The sapphire crystal is scratch-resistant but not shatterproof — avoid impacts against hard surfaces.
- Clean the two-tone bracelet periodically with a soft brush, mild soap, and warm water to maintain the lustre of both steel and rose gold PVD surfaces.
- Store the watch in a dry environment away from extreme temperatures, magnetic fields, and direct sunlight when not in use.
- Have the battery replaced by an authorised service centre every 2-3 years to prevent leakage and ensure water resistance seals are tested and maintained.
- The PVD coating is highly durable, but avoid abrasive cleaners or polishing compounds that could damage the rose gold finish.
- We recommend a water resistance test and gasket inspection every 12-18 months if the watch is used regularly for water activities.
- Avoid exposing the mother-of-pearl dial to harsh chemicals, perfumes, or solvents that may affect its natural iridescence.
