The Tissot Seastar 1000 is a formidable dive watch engineered for those who demand both precision and performance beneath the waves. Housed within a robust 40mm 316L stainless steel case, this Swiss-made timepiece combines technical capability with contemporary styling, featuring a striking blue lacquered dial that captures the essence of the ocean depths. With water resistance rated to an impressive 30 bar (300 metres/1000 feet), this is a watch built to withstand the rigours of serious aquatic adventure while maintaining the refined aesthetic expected from one of Switzerland's most respected watchmakers.
At the heart of this Seastar 1000 beats a reliable Swiss quartz movement, delivering exceptional accuracy and virtually maintenance-free operation for the modern watch enthusiast. The unidirectional rotating bezel, essential for timing dives safely, is rendered in matching blue with crisp white numerals, whilst the dial itself features bold applied hour markers and luminous hands for optimal legibility in low-light conditions. A date window at 6 o'clock adds practical everyday functionality, and the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with double-sided anti-reflective coating protects the dial whilst ensuring crystal-clear visibility from any angle. The screw-down crown and caseback guarantee water-tight integrity, making this a true tool watch in every sense.
Presented on a three-link stainless steel bracelet with brushed and polished finishes, the Seastar 1000 transitions effortlessly from dive site to boardroom. At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised Tissot retailer, ensuring every timepiece comes with full manufacturer warranty and the assurance of genuine Swiss quality.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for scuba diving?
A: Absolutely. With water resistance rated to 30 bar (300 metres/1000 feet), a screw-down crown and caseback, and a unidirectional rotating bezel, the Tissot Seastar 1000 is fully equipped for recreational scuba diving. It meets and exceeds the ISO 6425 standards for dive watches, making it a reliable instrument for underwater timing and exploration.
Q: What is the advantage of a quartz movement in a dive watch?
A: Swiss quartz movements offer exceptional accuracy (typically ±15 seconds per month), require minimal maintenance, and are highly resistant to the shock and temperature variations encountered during diving. Unlike automatic movements, quartz calibres do not require regular winding and maintain consistent timekeeping regardless of activity level, making them ideal for professional and recreational divers alike.
Q: Will the 40mm case size suit smaller wrists?
A: The 40mm case diameter is considered a versatile mid-size that wears comfortably on a wide range of wrist sizes, typically from 15cm to 20cm circumference. It offers substantial presence without being overly large, making it an excellent choice for those who find 42mm+ dive watches too bulky. We recommend visiting our Mall of the South boutique for a personal fitting to ensure the perfect fit.
Q: How often does the battery need replacing?
A: Swiss quartz movements typically provide 2-4 years of battery life, depending on usage and functions. When replacement is needed, we recommend having this performed by our authorised service centre to maintain water resistance integrity. The battery replacement service includes resealing, pressure testing, and verification of water resistance to factory specifications.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet features removable links that can be professionally adjusted to fit your wrist perfectly. This service is complimentary when you purchase from Cassims & Co., and our experienced team can resize the bracelet while you wait at our Mall of the South location.
Q: Is the blue dial legible in low-light conditions?
A: Yes, the Seastar 1000 features luminous treatment on both the hour markers and hands, providing excellent visibility in darkness or murky water. The high-contrast white markings against the blue dial, combined with the anti-reflective sapphire crystal, ensure optimal legibility in all lighting conditions.
Q: Does this watch come with the full Tissot warranty?
A: Yes, as an authorised Tissot retailer, every Seastar 1000 purchased from Cassims & Co. includes the full 2-year international Tissot warranty, valid worldwide. This warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship and is only available when purchasing from authorised retailers like ourselves.

Care Guide
- After Saltwater Exposure: Rinse the watch thoroughly with fresh water after swimming in the ocean or pool to remove salt, chlorine, and other corrosive substances that can affect the case and bracelet finish over time.
- Crown Position: Always ensure the screw-down crown is fully tightened before water exposure. After adjusting the time or date, screw the crown down firmly against the case to maintain water resistance integrity.
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the case and bracelet periodically with a soft brush, mild soap, and warm water, then dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth. Pay special attention to the areas between bracelet links where dirt and perspiration can accumulate.
- Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Whilst the Seastar 1000 is built to withstand demanding conditions, avoid exposing it to extreme temperature changes (such as hot showers followed by cold water) which can affect seals and lubrication.
- Magnetic Fields: Keep your watch away from strong magnetic fields (speakers, magnetic clasps, electronic devices) as these can affect quartz movement accuracy, though modern movements incorporate some magnetic resistance.
- Chemical Exposure: Avoid direct contact with solvents, detergents, perfumes, cosmetics, and other chemicals that may damage the case finish, seals, or bracelet.
- Servicing Schedule: We recommend having your Seastar 1000 pressure-tested for water resistance every 2-3 years, or whenever the battery is replaced, to ensure all seals remain effective. Professional servicing should include gasket replacement and verification of water resistance to factory specifications.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The original Tissot box provides ideal protection.
- Bezel Care: The unidirectional bezel should rotate smoothly with distinct clicks. If you notice any resistance or grinding, have it inspected by our service team to prevent potential damage to the mechanism.
