Tissot Seastar Chrono "DON"

OmegaCal66 · May 11, 2016

Looking for something less popular and cheaper than my usual Omegas to purchase and its little brother seemed a good option. Hence this Tissot Seastar Chronograph just arrived and pretty pleased with it. With the research I have done and under the Loupe I am thinking all looks ok? Any advice/comments/ pictures of tissots would be greatly received .
Needs a service but all seems to be running ok so far and everything in fairly good nick.

It's movement is derived from the Lemaina 1277 same family as the 321.

I think it's a very nice and unusual chronograph.
Here's mine for comparison...

When looking on line the chrono seconds hand seem to come in a few different forms. Wonder which one is original to the watch..?
Here's another one that shows the one on my watch a bit more clearly than in the first photo...

Yes I like the lume on yours. Think the green centre on my chrono has been added, agree see hands like yours and mine out there.

What is your model no ending, seen 5X-9X but no idea the difference?

Will have to get it serviced before it goes into circulation as running 5mins per day fast 😲.

Mine is actually being serviced atm. Will ask my watchmaker to shoot a few movement shots including the inside of the caseback...

I've seen both red and orange chrono seconds on this model, but they all have a tail.
I can't quite tell if yours does?

No tail, will see if I can track down an original advert as mine might be from different Tissot so wrong?
No tail examples

Yes that look like it, thank you for finding it. Think I maybe need to lose the green 😀

Happy to help. I myself have been chasing an 808A with the cursive logo for some time. Every now and then @Hijak presents a nice example on the WRUW thread.
