Tissot Seastart 1000 Quartz (38mm)

Tissot hasn’t forgotten smaller wrists or those who prefer compact watches even in the diver category.

The T120.217 series refers to the 38mm Seastar 1000 chronograph, which is often marketed as a unisex or women’s dive chronograph. This specific reference suggests a stainless steel case with an “Anth” (anthracite) dial, a dark grey, perhaps sunburst charcoal colour.

Despite the smaller 38mm size, it packs the functionality of a chronograph with three sub-dials and a date (the layout is typically 3-6-9 for sub-dials and date at 4:30 on the 38mm model).

The anthracite dial will likely have silver or white subdial frames and hands, and a matching grey bezel or a contrasting one for readability.

Given it’s a Seastar 1000, the water resistance remains an impressive 300m – indeed these 38mm chronos are fully dive-capable, not merely style pieces.

The pushers and crown are probably screw-down or well-sealed. Lume is applied to the indices and hands for underwater visibility.

The bezel is unidirectional, with a black insert to complement the dial. Inside ticks a high-quality Swiss quartz chronograph movement, providing stopwatch timing as well as regular timekeeping.

It comes on a stainless steel bracelet. This watch combines style (the sleek grey tone) with serious specs: the 38mm case is water resistant up to 300 meter, offering reliable performance in a format that suits a wide range of wrists” . In summary, the Seastar 38mm Chronograph.

This is a heavy-duty dive watch in a scaled-down, elegant guise.
