2.0393 TISSOT SEASTAR T12, Steel, SWISS 1961

£270.00 (incl. VAT)

Another member of the highly successful Tissot Seastar line, this Tissot Seastar T12 is a clean and sophisticated dress watch. The over 60 year-old case is in immaculate condition, having been given a fresh polish and brush in our workshop. Fixed into the stainless steel tonneau shaped case body is a steel bezel that’s also had some TLC! At 12mm thickness, the watch feels sturdy yet still a very wearable size for a dress watch, and the new 19mm alligator style brown leather strap really ties the whole look together. As a bonus, you’ll notice on the back is a small bas-relief of a full-rigged frigate ship, so cool!
