A classy looking watch .So different from the run of the mill dive watches of today .

[@firstcontactconventions3255]

Awesome stuff, I have my grandfather's Tissot Visodate Automatic Seastar from 1969. Yellow gold and beautiful!

[@mf6532]

That was my first ever watch given to me by my dad when I was 6 years old. He said that it was built to survive a kid, he was right. I am 60 now and I wish I still had it. Miss them both.....thanks dad.

[@ThisIsTaco1]

I have a vintage Tissot Antimagnetique that used to belong to my great granfather. Amazing watch, I love it.

[@johnfrei9057]

My first two “serious” watches were two Tissots that I purchased from a grey-market dealer who’s name rhymes with Homa-Pop. They’re great. I’m not sure I’d go grey-market again but it worked out. I think Tissot, much like Certina and Hamilton, offer a ton of bang-for-the-buck at the entry level price point of Swiss watches.

[@jgsheehan8810]

1972 Tissot Seastar Day Date gold plated, gold dial. very attractive. 2571 movement.

[@knorberthuszar8132]

Tend to agree with the conclusion. Modern Tissot designs are nowhere compared to old Seastars and Visodates. And the best thing about them is you can pick them up for around 50 USD.

[@MrBloopt]

While I love my modern visodate, the problem with modern watches are people and their misaligned concept of masculinity. People aren’t willing to buy small watches and so companies have to enlarge their watches to sizes made for Andre the giant.

[@marcfavero1255]

Where to find these seastar at 50 box (Europe) ? :)

[@JETBLACKPRIEST]

Having some trouble finding these for fiddy bucks tbh

[@Ben-j-king]

Evan Loh Is that a dark souls reference? 😅

[@knorberthuszar8132]

@@marcfavero1255 Did you really expect to get these watches for 50USD after THIS video?! Content creator mafia focusing on watches is pushing prices up :( :'D

[@19vaz74]

I recently picked up a 70's Tissot Seastar Navigator with a Valjoux 7734 which I am absolutely loving! It is well made and gorgeous timepiece and the colorful sub register is what really makes me smile.

[@Scaze74]

I got that one from my father yesterday but the manual version. Love it! keep time and looks AWSOME!! He had several old vintage watches. No Rolex or Omega but Citizen and Tissot, even found my own old Casio vintage A160 I had back in early 1980... Good times there...

[@derekvillorente4334]

Its about time you started a review on Tissot watchs time teller. They are awesome watches. I have two visodates.

[@richardbundy3609]

I own a vintage (1970s) Tissot visodate seamaster PR516 but it's the 24 hour dial which appears black but turns a bright teal from certain angles...stunner!

[@wccwy5514]

Actually bought a vintage 1950's PR516 hand wound as my first vintage watch. It looks classy and sporty as well !

[@arlocorp]

What about the Vintage Zodiac Seawolf ? The coolest of all dive watches.

[@odronnell]

I have a Tissot Seastar chronograph with the Lemania 1281/Cal 871 from the late 60s early 70s. It is THE watch that got me into watches as a kid when my dad would give it to me to play with and i would time stuff with the stopwatch. It's one of the watches that actually gets compliments because its so unique and retro now.

[@fudozanokamae2579]

My favorite vintage design is the supercompressor type dive watches. I just love how different they are compared to most dive watches.

[@Ben-j-king]

My first watch was a Tissot Le Locle Powermatic 80 and I love it. Personally I dislike all of their other current watches but that’s a really nice piece!!

[@fungus70]

I have that too and it's such a cool piece. Love that 80 hour power reserve.

[@Ben-j-king]

CS Foong I just can’t fault the thing! The strap and clasp is also lovely! The only negative my friend pointed out at the pub is... tissot backwards spells tossit 😂

[@rogerwatt3154]

I know this is VERY late but I have a Tissot Visodate Automatic Seastar PR516 with the original 'steering wheel' bracelet which I bought new in London in 1967 for the then huge sum of £27.00 . . . I was an art student but HAD to have it. I love it now as much as I loved it back then and, with servicing every 5 years (no new parts required), it still keeps nearly perfect time. Despite having several other watches, I still wear it a lot as, some 55 years on, it feels a part of me. Hope you read this, even though it's three years late!

[@melloweasel]

I recently acquired a Tissot Visodate Seastar from the late 1970s and it’s quickly become my daily driver. I absolutely love it!

[@inmatejason]

I own one vintage watch and it’s a tissot seastar diver style mechanical watch, I had it fully serviced and ware it almost everyday and luv it.

[@Chris-fl6fx]

I own a PR100 for daily use, a classic black dial perpetual calendar and a couturier chronograph automatic with white dial and brown leather folding strap.

[@stefs001]

I have three Tissot watches, from witch one is a golden Seastar automatic, from the sixties. A good , trustworthy watch. One has to like the gold of it all, but for certain occasions it's an eyecatcher.

[@eduardmeier-lee9352]

A great video about an underrated watch brand, especially for vintage watches. TISSOT has still today a very good entry level watch reputation with modern functionality and design and is often given by parents to their kids as the first serious watch.

[@carllange3950]

I have Sonorous PR-516 manual wind that was a friend’s great-uncle’s watch. It is missing the rotating elapsed time bezel, but it doesn’t look too weird without it. The alarm works well. The original strap/bracelet was long gone, so I put an inexpensive bracelet on it for now.

[@matthewhoover6154]

I love vintage watches. I only own one, a 1960 Accutron Spaceview pillow shaped, but have been eyeing the Bulova computron and the seastars and a few Omegas. You are making me want to spend money.

[@jamesblonde2271]

The main thing to remember is that they were virtually an Omega sub brand from the early sixties on, they shared movements research and divided the market between them. I've got a one year only 70s quartz 2030 Seastar, great watch

[@rogerwatt8491]

Only just found this video . . . I still have the Tissot Visodate Seastar Automatic PR516 with the Continental "steering wheel" strap which I bought new for £27 in 1967. I have it serviced regularly and it keeps excellent time. I've never seen a watch I've liked more!

[@bigfunanAmericaninGermany]

i just bought a vintage Citizen auto .... as i am new to this... i fear that i have paid too much ... oh well.... anyway... nice watch! I don't own a Tissot, but i like that one... i will have to look around and see what i can find, thanks!

[@ronndelmonte2326]

I own a tissot but not a vintage one. A tissot t-race chrongraph in a black and gold color and I love it, ever since I bought it, it never left my wrist. I think the brand is awesome and for people who want an entry level swiss made luxury watch, you can never go wrong with a tissot vintage or modern. Good job on the review boss keep it up.

[@NathanChisholm041]

Tissot makes great watches for anyone! Thinking about buying a new dress watch from them.

[@PaulMoorhousehankooks]

I have a 1972 manual seastar tissot and a seastar automatic, also a psr200 and love the manual wind the best .

[@chopschat8415]

1960 Tissot Seastar Automatic champagne dial, original sting ray strap, stainless buckle and box. Mint.

[@SiHawk]

I own a Tissot! Love it too... it's not vintage, but good looking black dial sport watch, with 200M water resistance PRC200!

[@Pimpi1980g]

I have classic dress gold plated Tissot from early sixties. Dial sign with Turler. Old swiss jewelry shop. Mint condition. One of my favorite.

[@Foxrock321]

What most Watch collectors don’t hear enough is that in the early days before the swatch group Tissot was the sister watch maker to Omega Like Tudor is to Rolex .. and I like my Powermatic 80 PRX..and no I don’t have vintage Tissot but I will..

[@fedeic7705]

I got a 1969 seastar manual wind variant in pristine condition a very classy watch.

[@markklein8725]

A Star Trek reference! A cup of Earl Grey Tea - Capt. Picard's favorite. You ever notice, nobody wears a watch in the future.

[@drwindsurf]

Wow congratulations on 71K subs! - Amazing Jory :)

[@thetimeteller]

Thanks, man! You've been here since the beginning!

[@kennedy7able]

Just bought this watch with the original steering wheel steel bracelet. So cool

[@shaneocallaghan4996]

Catching this video a little late but just picked up a 60s Tissot Seastar nice brown dial same case shape but funnily I also have the watch you were wearing a 70s Omega Seamaster but gold plated well it was fully gold plated at some stage not so much now still nice though.

[@evanspivack2714]

Great vintage watch! I really like the unusually-shaped date window, it adds a lot of character to the watch, as do several other subtle details. It was particularly interesting to see how well a small watch fit on a larger wrist--it looks great, especially on that NATO strap. Thanks for the great overview; I always look forward to your vids!

[@grale78]

I just bought yesterday Vostok amphibia (38mm) from 1982. I have Omikron field watch from 60's and very nice lady Doxa (22mm) from 50's. I love history aura of vintage watches that you can almost feel coming out of watch. There is a wast selection of affordable pre-quartz Swiss, German and former USSR brands in my country and still few older watch collectors who sells their vintage collections from 40's to 80's.

[@richdubbya]

About time you got talked Tissot. Hell yeah

[@woocoheed]

I have one very similar to this, and same size wrist. Took it in for service today. I think the cannon pinion was loose or something because the minute hand wouldn't keep up with the second hand.

[@unixnerd23]

Older Certinas are well worth looking into, some lovely stuff.

[@Sad.YTbruh]

My fav is seastar sith day date but its similar to yours

[@MrFUNHERO]

Maybe im a little late , but I have a Tissot tank from the 60s, as a College Student I unfortunately cant afford the real Deal, so this is a great alternative!

[@briancarpenter1255]

Great info Jory. Sorry I got in on this so late, but I took your suggestion at purchased a Tissot Jubileum. It is from the late 1940's with a 33mm case, so smaller by todays standards but I like a smaller watch. I will be sending it to Tic Toc watch repair based on your recommendations. Thanks again, Brian.

[@larrythomas3623]

I have a vintage Seastar Automatic, which, curiously, I wear on a military strap.

[@walteralvarado7090]

Awesome video. I own a few vintage Tissot watches to include 4 chronographs. I think these vintage Tissots are undervalued and underappreciated.

[@avediskerlak2087]

My dad owns a Tissot Seastar T12 and this is an amazing and original watch.

[@istekulindoy]

I have Tissot PR 516 which dates back in the 70's. Little did i know that it has a Lemania 873 movement which is a twin of Omega's caliber 861, a moonwatch caliber!

[@jongoodman7563]

So this is weird. I’ve followed the channel for awhile now, but never have seen this episode. Until now. The day after I inherited two vintage watches, an Omega Seamaster and, you guessed it, a handsome Tissot. What’s more, your name is Jory Goodman and I’m Jon Goodman. And we both have 7 1/2 inch wrists. Which has me wondering...I’m, are we related? 😂

[@JonasRoskilde]

Oh man yes vintage Tissot is awesome! I own 2 a Seastar PR516 diver with a rotating bezel, blue dial and an orange second hand very sexy! And a PR-516 on a cool integrated bracelet driven by a neat Omega movement with quick set date complication. It just oozes class and 70s coolness

[@peterdegelaen]

I have a vintage Tissot Visodate Seastar (must be from 1973 or 1974, I don't remember when I got it from my father); it looks very much like yours, but it doesn't say PR516 on the dial and the lugs are shaped a little differently. For the rest, exactly the same!

[@edwineknl]

Nice watch! I'm currently wearing my Visodate Seastar with 24-hour dial, a lucky find at a watch fair.

[@lawrencegrupp3882]

While I do not own a true vintage Tissot, I do truly enjoy my Tissot Vintage 1948 Chrono. It's vintage inspired with modern components wearing very comfortably on the wrist at 39.5mm. Of all my watches, this is one of my most enjoyable and most complimented watches.

[@lawrencegrupp3882]

Correcting the name of my Tissot...The Tissot Vintage Heritage 1948 Chronograph...

[@carloslozano8453]

Hi there! First of all... great videos I started watching recently and have enjoyed the info with a sense of humor. Speaking about TISSOT, I was wondering what are your thoughts on the TISSOT Tradition Perpetual Calendar, and if you think there are better options in the sameprice range. Cheers!

[@nishanthb6379]

I like it, it's really clean

[@travisfeldman4004]

Hello! First time here , just subscribed~! I have a vintage Tissot Turler Seastar day-date but I just cannot understand the quick set adjustment. How do I set the day and date ? Any ideas?

[@lampa2411]

I got gifted a tissot visodate carrousel recently. It is a divers watch from the 1960:s. All the parts are original, but unfortunately the diver bezel ring is missing. Is it possible to buy a new somewhere?

[@phunkytowel9794]

Funny enough the watch that GOT me into watch collecting is my Tissot Seastar Visodate from 1960-61!!

[@thewristwatchvlogger]

I have a vintage tissot seastar 46814 with cal 2571

[@albertoreyesgabrielli929]

Beautiful piece right there! I have the modern version but is too big (42mm), I'm very interested to get the vintage one. I have a 1970s seastar, blue dial, automatic. The case is kind of "cushion" case and it looks amazing on a bracelet (still looking for the right one). Nice review man, greetings from Amsterdam

[@johnpinner1]

Great watch I have the Tissot Seastar T12 in my collection

[@marcfavero1255]

I own 2 timex (´64 mercury and ´67 marlin) and a ´70 French Diver (with a ébauche FE movement) : love them and why not I would like a Tissot like your or a Oméga T2 movement :)

[@jarodstevens2710]

I have the black dial seastar Visodate PR 516 GL I LOVE IT !!!!!

[@paulcusentino4917]

Was going to buy a Tissot years ago, but went with a Movado instead. True story.

[@bengahzijr.4293]

I have a 1970 Tissot 24 hour world timer.

[@appleborbs5065]

Why does some of them have the visodate and seastar while others dont have that?

[@benmcintosh9167]

Interestingly Tissot merged with omega in the 30s that's why several of the Tissot movements of the 60s-70s are also seen in SOME omegas of the same time! 🧐

[@apax2901]

What a beauty 👀 Love vintage Watches

[@JETBLACKPRIEST]

I'd have loved a date window like that centred in the ring on my Hamilton khaki field auto

[@mikesey1]

Three years old video gets a new comment. Most modern Tissots look bland and uninspiring, but I picked up a small one with its gold case hallmarked 1939. It still runs well, but needs a service. I agree, a vintage Tissot is better than a modern one.

[@calumpatondrone]

Gold visodate seastarseven - stunning!

[@StefaanVdV1961]

Congratulations, I have a Tissot PR200 Autoquartz from the '80.

A Very Cool Vintage Tissot...!!! Might also look good on a Leather Strap..!!

[@hughmckendrick3018]

Zodiac Sea Wolf, Blancpain Fifty Fathoms and Rolex Submariner, early 1950s all had rotating bezels.

[@speelmeneer6404]

the first ever dive watch didnt have a rotating bezel. the first ever dive watch was the Omega Marine.

[@bnick25352535]

Tissot Seastar Navigator is the one I like.

[@tonkaty]

I owned the manual wind, no-date version of this exact watch but sold it due to it being a challenge to wind and that the size doesn't really fit the purpose of this watch. Cool watches but for an explorer style watch it just feels very undersized.

[@brandongonzal]

Is a Edox vintage also good?

[@greatdogg]

How do you feel about their Heritage line?

[@kornelodri9906]

I basically agree on you opinion regarding modern Tissot watches, however this is an interesting piece: Tissot T-complications squelette mechanical (T0704051641100)

[@jayn8392]

I prefer the look of older dive watches by far

[@oes2546]

There aren't many (modern) Tissot's I like either. The Visodate stands out a little bit. Other than that, I just couldn't find anything I prefered or thought interesting when compared to offerings from the big 3 from Japan. However, I must say I'm not very knowledgeable about their lineup.

[@franciscozaragoza7193]

I have a Tissot banana. It’s awesome

Time Teller can you please tell me the model number?

[@frankieeisenberg6506]

I have a vintage Invicta Royal Marine 100m “Datejust” coming in the mail. Again, a watch that is technically a dive watch that looks nothing like a dive watch. Only paid a little over $30!
