A charismatic Tissot Sea Star with a rich tropical-style dial and bold 1970s cushion case, c.1970

The Tissot Sea Star was introduced in the 1950s as the brand’s answer to the growing demand for robust, water-resistant wristwatches. Designed for everyday wear with added durability, early Sea Star models combined elegant styling with practical case construction suited to active lifestyles. Over the decades, the collection evolved to include sportier dive-oriented designs, while retaining Tissot’s reputation for accessible Swiss reliability and clean, functional aesthetics.

What's on Offer

A wonderfully characterful Tissot Sea Star from the early 1970s, this piece is all about that rich, tropical-toned brown dial. The warm gradient effect gives the watch huge presence on the wrist, beautifully complemented by the crisp applied hour markers and date aperture at 3. The lume remains clean and well-balanced, adding just the right amount of vintage charm without distraction.

The stainless steel cushion case wears superbly, offering that unmistakable 70s silhouette with strong lines and a confident stance. It shows only light, honest wear consistent with age, retaining sharp edges and plenty of character. The plexiglass crystal keeps the look period-correct while presenting nicely overall.

Paired with a brown leather strap, this is a striking yet versatile vintage Sea Star — a superb everyday piece with just enough individuality to stand out from the crowd.
