Tissot have caught our eye recently with a couple of crackers that have
really made us sit up and take a fresh look at this famous Swiss brand,
which now sits under the Swatch Umbrella.
First up we have the Tissot Automatic Visodate 1957, shown above, which
has been updated to suit the modern man with a bigger 40mm case and
with a transparent back and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
It comes in four versions, in steel with white or black dial,
alternatively in gold PVD with white or black dial, each with crocodile
embossed leather strap. Visodate was, when it was launched in 1953, one of the first automatic watches equipped with a date display. Prices start from around £385.
Next we have the result of watchmaker Tissot coming together with Swiss
Watch Manufacturer ETA to produce a brand new revolutionary Powermatic
80 movement timepiece that offers an extraordinary 80 hours of power
reserve in comparison to the mere 36 hours of a standard watch allowing
the watch to go for 80 hours without being worn or wound up. Together both companies have pushed the limits in terms of precision and power to essentially give time a new status.
Available in both men and women's collections, with some models bearing
the COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse Chronomètres) certification, the
watches will be available from December 2013 with prices starting from
£525Finally, Swiss watchmaker Tissot is turning 160 and to make it special, they've created an anniversary timepiece.
The Heritage Navigator Automatic is a remake of a model first made to
commemorate their centenary back in 1953. Like all good designs, the
styling of the classic chronometer looks just as good now as it did 50
years ago. This is available from November 2013 and while I am not aware of pricing I would expect it to come in around the £1400 mark.
