TOP divers from Tissot T120.417.17.041.00 Seastar 1000
Tissot T120.417.17.041.00 Seastar watch
Hello friends, you are on the Feeltime channel, Stanislav is with you as always, and today we will consider one of the most popular Swiss Tissot divers from the Seastar 1000 collection.
In general, these watches are not new, but they still sell well and I think they will continue to sell for a long time, because if you look at the windows of the Tissot brand, you can see that some models are already 10 years old and they are still in top. And that says something.
So, taking this opportunity, I want to share with you my opinion about this model, which you can buy both in our Feeltime online store and in the network of our partners Deka, the largest watch chain in Ukraine.
Of course, the watch is original and comes with a 2-year warranty. The link to the watch will be at the very bottom of this article.
Equipment
This is an updated type of box with a folding application from the Tissot factories. When I did my first reviews of the Tissot brand, the box seemed interesting to me, but now the opinion has changed.
Still, compared to the old type of box, it's just a flimsy poop.
On the other hand, it has its advantages. This makes it possible for the brand to reduce the price of watches, or to keep prices down + if you, like me, are not a fan of pretentious boxes, then appreciate its compact size, which will not eat up a lot of space in your closet.
Watch design
And of course, the watch itself. Here I immediately want to put a fat plus to the design. You may or may not like it, but when you see this watch even from a distance, you will always understand what kind of model it is.
There are different variations of dial colors, versions on a bracelet, but I got my hands on a version on a rubber strap with a chic dial in a blue gradient. It is with the dial that I would like to start.
Clock face
Its base has a deep blue color, which diverges to black towards the edges. Everything is authentic diving style. In the end, in front of you is a watch with professional water resistance of 300 meters.
The main time is very clearly separated with additional stopwatch functions in small dials. All this is obtained thanks to the delicate marking of additional functions and, on the contrary, very bold main hands and hour markers, which rise slightly above the level of the dial and create additional volume.
The minute markings are located on a separate die around the circumference of the dial, which again rises above the main plane, and the small chronograph windows, on the contrary, are recessed into it. Thus, the dial turned out to be multi-level, which gives it an expensive and solid appearance.
Of the details, I want to note a non-obtrusive date at around 4 o'clock, the tip of the chronograph seconds hand in the shape of the letter "T", that is, Tissot, and the cherished inscription Swiss Made at the bottom of the dial.
Mechanism
Our model is equipped with Swiss quartz G10.212. On the plus side, it is reliable and fairly accurate. Of the minuses - it is not collapsible, if something happens, we take it out, throw it away, buy a new one. Fortunately, the price is not very high. On average, abroad about $ 50, we will naturally be a little more expensive.
This mechanism has a stopwatch function with two modes. Addition and subtraction.
Watch sizes
Well, now let's talk about the body. He's big enough. Diameter - 45.5 mm, From lug to lug - 52 mm, the thickness on the official website is 12.8 mm, but my tool showed all 13.5 mm, the width of the strap at the case is 21 mm, and I personally measured the weight, it is 116 grams.
watch on hand
On my arm 18 cm. In girth they sit, one might say, on the verge. The watch is very large and I recommend it for a powerful male wrist. They feel big on my hand.
The case itself is made of 316l stainless steel. You can see the patina and mirror finish on the longitudinal stripe on the side of the body and on the lugs. The patination quality is not bad, but definitely not outstanding, but I really liked the mirror one on the ears. I reflect in it like in a mirror.
Bezel
Of the features, I want to note the bezel, which slightly protrudes beyond the diameter of the case. Its grip is excellent, which is a plus for a diving watch, the course is confident, there is a micro backlash, and here we have an aluminum insert in a matte color. According to my feelings, ceramics here would not be very suitable precisely in terms of their appearance. Still, the matte bezel is very relevant here and emphasizes the style of the watch.
Watch back
The case back has a nice engraving of the brand, the collection and there is also an image of a seahorse, but we will see it because of the obvious obstacles of the new watch.
Strap
Strap - rubber. The quality is very decent, and of course it was not without Tissot symbols. The letter "T" is long, literally stretches through the entire belt. I also liked the quality of the clasp.
Other characteristics
Of the characteristics, I did not name only the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, a nuance about water protection. All buttons are screwed for better tightness of the case. Let me remind you that this is a full-fledged diver, with a water resistance of 300 meters.
Results
Well, I'm ready to sum up. The price of this handsome man today in our stores is 23610 UAH. The equivalent of $580.
What do we have for this money. Absolutely unique and recognizable design, good quality materials, expensive and perfectly readable dial, nice features.
Of course, someone may say that it is a little expensive for quartz, that the finish is not perfect, but do not forget that this is Tissot. Here you at least pay extra for the brand.
In my opinion, the watch is worth the money. If you like them, you will not be disappointed with the purchase.
Do not forget to participate in the life of the channel - write your opinion about the watch, the opinion of current owners is especially interesting. And Stanislav was with you, as always, until we meet again. Bye!
