Hands-On The New Tissot Seastar 1000 40mm Automatic Diver 

Thanks for watching 🙂

@@TimeAndCrown I would happily pay Tissot whatever they want for #1 Uber good Lume #2 Am amazing modern clasp not this boring dinosaur and lots of micro adjustments. #3 A ceramic bezel #4 only two lines of lettering. Your 100% right! Three lines od lettering is way to much on a 40mm It’s all about the Lume, can you post a Lume shot please???

@@TimeAndCrownawesome! Lume probably looks better in person. 🙏🙏

@@ryanjofre Its hard to capture on video. The lume is good 👍

Look at the number of jewels. Tissot often uses the PowerMatic 80 with 23 jewels. I have an 8 year old Hamilton Khaki Automatic with a 25 jewel PowerMatic 80. In the 23 jewel version (I’m not a watchmaker…hope I get the part name correctly) jewel #1 is replaced because “plastic self lubricates “ (so sez the Swatch Group) so, a plastic balance wheel. Jewel #2 is gone because the pallet fork is also made of plastic. Stick with Sellita or NIB older ETA movements. Hope this helps, cheers!

It’s not the 23 jewel calibre that says Hi tech escapement that’s laser regulated with plastic parts!

@@ryanjofre Not one for the collection then.

@@simonwright6882I have two 39mm couturier Day/dates that have the 23 jewel calibre with plastic parts and the TOTL calibre with gold rotor. They both have outstanding accuracy with buttery smooth winding. The only real difference is the TOTL powermatic 80 can be adjusted by a watchmaker and the one with polymer parts can’t and the one with TOTL calibre has anti reflective coating on the underside of the sapphire. If you send the “HI TECH escapement” Watch to Tissot for service they just throw it away or tear it down down for parts and pop in a new one! People talk alllot of shit about those calibres but it’s accurate and runs beautifully!

@@simonwright6882So your saying only want the cheaper one? Can you please elaborate fellow watch lover??🙏🙏

Thanks for watching. And great tip regarding the timegrapher. It does behave strangely at times.

Yes, adjust the volume gain (up/down). Mine does that sometimes and caused a false beat error reading.

I would not base my final thoughts with that but it is your choice :) Ceramic is not perfect.

@@TyphonLeTitan I used to have seastar 43 with ceramic bezel and i really liked it. But I had to sell it due its size because I couldn’t get comfortable with it. Numbers on the bezel were engraved which looks great in my opinion. The numbers on 40mm’s bezel becomes invisible when light hits in some certain angles. That’s why I want ceramic bezel.

@@yusufclgn8060 Understand :)

The bezel is ceramic.

@@fernald123 no, it is not

Yes, I compared the T1000 and T 2000 side by side. The T2000 46mm is really too big. So, I brought the new 40 mm 1000T today immediately.

@@markokoli7460 That’s a hard choice. They are very similar with the same movement, sapphire etc. Against the DS Action 38 mm I would pick the Tissot because of the better bracelet and more interesting dial.

@@TimeAndCrown thanks

They don't. It's 40 Auto and Quartz or 36 Quartz.

If the watch becomes a succes I’m sure Tissot will introduce more variations.

Which mido is that?

I HIGHLY doubt that! Which model please???

but garbage lume and bezel is hard to rotate

Its not a huge thing for me but two lines should be enough.

It can happen with the Powermatic 80 movements that the timegrapher makes a wrong reading. I’ve seen it before.

No thanks.

@@TimeAndCrown you should

The clasp functions well and is secure. But it looks extremely dated just like on the Hydroconquest. On the other hand the bracelet is excellent.

agree, nice looking watch, good price and everything else but I feel it's too basic and obvious... I see no effort to make it interesting. It will sell a lot though - it ticks a a lot of boxes at a reasonable price.

So you don’t consider the Rolex Submariner a great divewatch?

@@TimeAndCrown i spoke that this Tissot 40mm is a little diver... better the 43mm model... what does that Rolex submariner????
