Mid-1970s, Oval Shape, Excellent Condition

This Tissot Seastar Seven Automatic is a rare and exceptional find, in outstanding vintage condition. Produced in the mid-1970s, this model stands out not only as a Seastar Seven but as an oval-shaped watch with a coin bezel made from lighter stainless steel. After 46 years of collecting, we’ve never encountered another in this unique oval shape, making it a truly distinctive piece. It was discovered in an antique shop tucked away on a side street in York’s Shambles, adding an extra layer of charm to its history.

Tissot, a renowned name in Swiss watchmaking, created this timepiece with impeccable craftsmanship. The champagne-coloured dial has developed a gentle age patina that enhances both its authenticity and its value. The raised batons and the date at the 3 o'clock position are complemented by the gold hands, with the seconds hand sweeping gracefully across the face. The mineral crystal shows light wear, consistent with limited use, but these marks are part of the watch's character and history. We never polish them out, as they contribute to the watch’s vintage appeal.

The case remains in excellent condition for its age, with no dings, scratches, or noticeable marks on the back or sides. The original crown tucks seamlessly into the oval case. The watch is also waterproof, though it hasn’t been tested for water resistance.

This slim, elegant timepiece is perfect for daily wear or as a sophisticated dress watch for black-tie events. With its classic design and timeless appeal, it will undoubtedly charm any audience.

The watch is in perfect working order, as you’d expect from a Tissot of this caliber, and makes a bold, refined statement on the wrist. It is both a functional accessory and an investment piece, with its rarity making it even more desirable. The watch was serviced about 14 years ago and has seen very little use since then. It comes in its original Tissot box, though the cushion has been lost over time.

The strap is a new, generic black leather one that suits the watch’s elegant style. This Tissot is ready to be worn and enjoyed for decades to come. It’s likely that this timeless piece will be passed down through generations, becoming a cherished family heirloom.

For those who appreciate classic timepieces, this Tissot Seastar Seven is a remarkable opportunity to own a piece of watchmaking history.
