Tissot Seastar Owner Review : Tranquil, legit and pleasant

When we talk about Tissot Seastar, we think more of a diver than a dress watch. But just like Omega with its Seamaster range, Tissot has produced many classic Seastars. Here is a model from the early 70s that I have owned for at least 25 years. It has never let me down, despite a total lack of maintenance on my part. Mea culpa. It must be said that this small FHF ST 90-4 caliber with manual winding is of exemplary reliability, and relatively precise. The black hands, black second hand and black Roman numerals on a white dial ensure perfect readability of the time. This is one of the main reasons why I love this watch, and I wear it quite often. The 36 mm case (excluding the crown) is gold-plated, but fortunately so because the black and white of the dial could quickly become austere. While here, the Tissot has a little "classy" touch, which is highlighted by a pretty brown leather strap with a perfect patina. It therefore has its place in my collection.
