Tissot 'UFO' Seastar Seven

Sometimes, simple is better. In fact, oftentimes, simple is best.

Watch designers knew this back in the 1960s, a time of slim, time-only watches with uncomplicated, streamlined designs. And while we all love a good chronograph, a be-bezzel’d diver, or a sophisticated perpetual calendar, when it comes to everyday wrist candy, we say go for something simple. 

This Tissot Seastar embodies this philosophy to a ‘t.’

This articular piece, a Seastar Seven, features an eye-catching 'UFO' case that measures 40mm in width and 37mm lug-to-lug. Paired with a sub-10mm case thickness, this piece wears incredibly well and dead-center on the wrist. Complemented by a 'fluted' bezel and integrated stainless steel crown, this piece features an absolutely pristine silver dial with applied hour indices and a luminous matching handset.

Powered by a hand-cranking movement this charming piece is in museum-grade condition with an outstanding case and dial, an original signed leather strap and a fully-intact caseback sticker.

Incredible.

Looking for a slim, comfortable, and beautifully designed vintage watch that's out of this world?

Look no further.

Established in 1853 in Le Locle, Switzerland by Charles-Félicien Tissot and his son, Charles-Émile Tissot, Tissot quickly contributed several notable innovations to the watch industry, including the first dual-time pocket watch in 1853 and the first commercially available anti-magnetic watch in 1929-1930.
In 1930, the firm merged with Omega SA to form the SSIH (Société Suisse pour l’Industrie Horlogère). This would prove significant in the 1980s, when SSIH merged with ASUAG, a holding company, eventually becoming the SMH (Société Suisse de Microélectronique et d’Horlogerie). In 1998, SMH would become the Swatch Group, with Tissot poised as one of the conglomerate’s mid-range offerings.
Today, Tissot watches are distributed in over 160 countries, with brand ambassadors who include many basketball players, cricketers, actors, and more. They have previously sponsored Formula One teams and functioned as the official timekeeper for downhill skiing competitions, while their horological and design innovations, which include the Rock Watch of the 1980s the the brand’s T-Touch technology, have since made them a household name.
