Tissot Seastar 1000 Quartz 40mm Mens Watch Black

Ref. T1204103305100

The Seastar name derives from the collection's 1,000-foot depth rating — 300 metres — and the 40mm case sits at the middle of a family that runs from 36mm to 45.5mm, intended for those who actually use the water resistance rather than simply own it. Screw-down crown, protected by a guard, and a unidirectional coin-edge bezel are the working details; the ETA F06.412 Precidrive movement holds to within ten seconds a year and signals a dying battery before it becomes a problem on a dive trip. At roughly 10mm thick, this reads as a proper diver that will still pass under a cuff. The all-black PVD treatment — case, bracelet and bezel unified — kills any reflection in low visibility, and the sunray-brushed dial with plongeur hands picks up Super-LumiNova to read clearly when depth removes the colour from everything else. At 134 grams on a steel bracelet it has the weight of something that means business without becoming a chore on a long day.
