The Tissot Seastar 1000 Quartz Chronograph (reference T1204171109101) is a professional-grade diving instrument built for those who demand uncompromising performance beneath the surface. With a striking gradient green dial that transitions from deep emerald at the centre to near-black at the periphery, this 45.5mm timepiece commands attention both in the boardroom and on the ocean floor. Water-resistant to an impressive 30 bar (300 metres), the Seastar 1000 features a unidirectional rotating bezel with black aluminium insert, screw-down crown and caseback, and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal — all housed within a robust 316L stainless steel case that's engineered to withstand the rigours of serious aquatic adventure.
Powered by a precision Swiss quartz chronograph movement, this Tissot delivers split-second timing accuracy with three sub-dials measuring elapsed minutes, seconds, and continuous running seconds. The luminous hour markers and hands ensure optimal legibility in low-light conditions, whilst the date window at 4 o'clock provides everyday practicality. The integrated stainless steel bracelet with fold-over clasp offers both security and comfort, whether you're navigating coral reefs or city streets. At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised Tissot retailer, ensuring that every Seastar 1000 we supply comes with full manufacturer warranty and the peace of mind that only genuine Swiss timepieces can offer.
Since 1853, Tissot has been at the forefront of accessible Swiss watchmaking innovation, and the Seastar 1000 collection represents the brand's commitment to delivering professional-specification tool watches at attainable price points. This model is an ideal choice for dive enthusiasts, water sports professionals, or anyone seeking a robust daily companion with genuine aquatic credentials. The 45.5mm case diameter provides substantial wrist presence without being unwieldy, whilst the relatively svelte profile (thanks to the efficient quartz movement) ensures it slides comfortably under a shirt cuff when circumstances demand.

FAQ
Q: Is the Tissot Seastar 1000 suitable for scuba diving?
A: Absolutely. With a water resistance rating of 30 bar (300 metres), the Seastar 1000 meets and exceeds ISO 6425 standards for diving watches. The screw-down crown and caseback, unidirectional rotating bezel, and luminous markers make it a genuine tool watch suitable for recreational scuba diving. The quartz movement also eliminates concerns about mechanical movement performance under pressure.
Q: How long does the battery last in this quartz chronograph?
A: Tissot quartz chronograph movements typically provide 2-4 years of battery life under normal usage conditions, though frequent use of the chronograph function may reduce this slightly. When replacement is required, visit our Mall of the South boutique where our technicians can replace the battery whilst testing the water resistance seals to maintain the watch's 300m rating.
Q: Will this 45.5mm watch fit my wrist?
A: The 45.5mm case diameter is considered large-to-mid-size in contemporary watch sizing. It's ideally suited to wrist circumferences of 17cm and above. The integrated bracelet design and relatively short lug-to-lug measurement mean it wears slightly smaller than its diameter suggests. We recommend trying it on at our Johannesburg boutique for personalised fitting advice.
Q: Is this an authentic Tissot watch with full warranty?
A: Yes. Cassim & Co. is an authorised Tissot retailer, and every Seastar 1000 we supply is 100% genuine and comes with the full 2-year international Tissot warranty from the date of purchase. The warranty card will be completed and stamped at the time of sale, and the watch includes all original packaging and documentation.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet features removable links that can be adjusted for a perfect fit. We provide complimentary bracelet sizing with every purchase, either at our Mall of the South store or via our nationwide delivery service (sizing instructions and tools can be included with your delivery, or links can be removed prior to dispatch based on your wrist measurement).
Q: What makes the green dial special on this model?
A: The dial features a sophisticated gradient sunray finish that transitions from rich emerald green at the centre to near-black at the outer edge, creating exceptional depth and visual interest. Green dials have become highly collectible in recent years, and this particular execution is among the most striking in Tissot's current catalogue. The colour also provides excellent contrast with the white luminous markers for optimal legibility.
Q: Does this watch have a date function?
A: Yes, there is a date window positioned at 4 o'clock with white date numerals on a black disc that complements the dial aesthetic. The date can be adjusted via the screw-down crown when pulled to the first position.
Warranty
- Warranty Period: This Tissot Seastar 1000 carries a 2-year international manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase.
- Warranty Validity: The warranty is only valid when the watch is purchased from an authorised Tissot retailer such as Cassim & Co., and the warranty card is correctly completed, stamped, and dated at the time of sale.
- Coverage: The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. This includes defects in the case, movement, dial, hands, and bracelet that arise from normal use.
- Exclusions: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, scratches, knocks, or cosmetic damage; battery replacement (batteries are consumable items); damage caused by accidents, improper use, or negligence; water damage resulting from failure to properly secure the crown or from using the watch beyond its rated depth; damage caused by unauthorised repairs or modifications; or damage to straps and bracelets from normal wear.
- Water Resistance: Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may be affected by ageing of gaskets or accidental impact to the crown or crystal. Water resistance must be checked annually by an authorised service centre, particularly if the watch is used for diving.
- Warranty Claims: Should you experience any issues covered under warranty, contact Cassim & Co. with your proof of purchase and completed warranty card. We will facilitate the warranty claim directly with Tissot Switzerland through official channels.
- After-Sales Support: Beyond the manufacturer warranty, Cassim & Co. provides ongoing after-sales support including battery replacements, bracelet adjustments, and access to authorised Tissot service centres for all maintenance and repair requirements.
Care Guide
- Water Resistance Maintenance: After exposure to salt water, rinse the watch and bracelet thoroughly with fresh water and dry with a soft cloth. Have the water resistance tested annually if you dive regularly.
- Crown Operation: Always ensure the screw-down crown is fully secured (hand-tight only, never force) before any water exposure. Never operate the crown or chronograph pushers whilst underwater or when the watch is wet.
- Chronograph Use: The chronograph function is designed for intermittent timing use. Avoid leaving the chronograph running continuously for extended periods as this may reduce battery life.
- Bracelet Cleaning: Clean the stainless steel bracelet periodically with a soft brush, mild soapy water, and thorough rinsing. Dry completely to prevent water spots. Ensure the crown is fully screwed down before cleaning.
- Crystal Care: The sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant but not shatterproof. Avoid impacts against hard surfaces such as concrete or metal.
- Storage: When not wearing the watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from magnetic fields (speakers, mobile phones, magnetic clasps). The original Tissot box provides ideal protection.
- Service Intervals: Quartz watches require less frequent servicing than mechanical movements, but we recommend a technical inspection every 4-5 years to check seals, test water resistance, and ensure optimal performance.
- Battery Replacement: Only have the battery replaced by authorised Tissot service centres or qualified watchmakers who will test and maintain the water resistance seals. Never attempt to open the caseback yourself as this will void the warranty.
- Magnetic Fields: Whilst quartz movements are less susceptible to magnetism than mechanical movements, prolonged exposure to strong magnetic fields should still be avoided.
- Temperature: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (below -10°C or above 60°C) or sudden temperature changes, which can affect seal integrity and timekeeping accuracy.
