Tissot Seastar Men’s 43mm Watch (T120.407.17.041.01)

Fitted with a blue fabric strap instead of steel, this Seastar loses some of the tool-watch heft\nand gains a strap that is lighter and quicker to dry, without changing the dial or the case\nunderneath. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n The 43mm brushed steel case carries a blue unidirectional bezel with a painted minute scale, and a\nscrew-down crown signed with the Tissot shield. \n Dial and Legibility \n The dial runs from a lighter blue at the centre to near-black at the rim, with round luminous\nmarkers at each hour and a white-backed date window at three. The contrast between the pale centre\nand the dark rim is more pronounced on this dial than on the plain steel-bracelet versions. \n Functions \n Time and date, kept to a simple layout so the dial stays legible under the strap’s darker tone. \n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n The woven fabric strap is backed and stitched at the edges, with a traditional pin buckle. Fabric\nstraps like this dry faster than leather after a wash and don’t stiffen the way leather can if they\nget wet, which suits a case built around a dive bezel. The pin buckle also makes it a straightforward\nstrap to swap for another one later, since it’s a standard fitting rather than a proprietary clasp. \n Care and Maintenance \n Hand-wash the strap in fresh water if it picks up salt or sweat, and let it dry fully before\nwearing it again; fabric straps hold moisture longer than silicone, so give it time rather than\nfolding it away damp. Avoid machine washing, which can fray the woven edges over time. \n Who This Watch Suits \n A fabric strap suits warmer weather and casual dress more than a boardroom, and it’s an easy strap\nto swap out later if the look needs to change. It’s a reasonable pick for someone who wants the case\nand dial of a dive watch without wearing a steel bracelet every day. \n About the Brand \n Tissot has been based in Le Locle, in the Swiss Jura, since 1853, and the Seastar range is its\nlong-running line of dive-cased sport watches, priced for daily wear rather than technical diving. \n Technical Specifications \n Brand Tissot Collection Seastar Case diameter 43mm Case Stainless steel Dial colour Blue Functions Date Strap Blue fabric \n Buying With Confidence \n Every watch ships new and unworn in its original box with the manufacturer’s paperwork, backed by a 24-month international manufacturer’s warranty covering the movement (battery and normal wear excluded).
