The Tissot Seastar 1000 Chronograph is built to perform in demanding environments while retaining a refined appearance for everyday life. Its 300m water resistance makes it an indispensable tool for diving, snorkeling, and other water sports. The unidirectional ceramic bezel is crucial for divers to safely monitor remaining bottom time, preventing accidental rotation that could lead to overstaying underwater.
Beyond the depths, the chronograph function provides versatile utility. You can use the subdials to time laps during a run, measure cooking durations, or track specific intervals during a workout. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal ensures clarity and protection, making it resilient against bumps and scrapes encountered during active use or daily wear. Its luminescent hands and markers ensure that whether you're navigating a dimly lit room or exploring a reef at dusk, time is always clearly visible. The sleek stainless steel construction and design mean it pairs equally well with dive gear, casual attire, or business wear, offering true versatility.
Unscrew the Crown: Gently unscrew the crown (usually located at 3 o'clock) counter-clockwise until it pops out to the first position.
Set the Date: Pull the crown out to the second click. Turn it clockwise or counter-clockwise (depending on the specific model) to adjust the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the date change mechanism. Push the crown in one click.
Set the Time: Pull the crown out to the final click. Turn it to set the hour and minute hands. For accuracy, synchronize with a reliable time source. Push the crown all the way back in and screw it down firmly to ensure water resistance.
Start/Stop: Press the top pusher (usually at 2 o'clock) to start the chronograph. Press it again to stop.
Reset: With the chronograph stopped, press the bottom pusher (usually at 4 o'clock) to reset all chronograph hands to zero.
This watch is designed to be a universal fit, suitable for most wrist sizes thanks to its adjustable stainless steel bracelet and diver's extension. Its robust build makes it compatible with active lifestyles, while its elegant finish allows it to complement formal wear.
Rinse After Saltwater Exposure: Always rinse your watch with fresh water after swimming in the ocean or chlorinated pools. Wipe it dry with a soft cloth.
Regular Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently clean the case and bracelet. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush with mild soap and water can be used on the bracelet (ensure the crown is screwed down).
Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not expose your watch to sudden or extreme temperature changes, as this can affect seals and lubrication.
Avoid Magnetic Fields: Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, refrigerators, certain electronics) to prevent affecting the accuracy of the quartz movement.
Check Water Resistance: For serious diving, it is recommended to have the water resistance seals checked by a qualified watchmaker every 2-3 years, especially after any impact or battery change.
Battery Replacement: When the battery runs out (often indicated by the seconds hand skipping or stopping), have it replaced by an authorized service center to ensure proper sealing and battery type.
