Reference in designs and finishes

Although Tissot, which launched the first touch watch 20 years ago, is recognized for its great ambassadors within the world of sports, there is a parallel between the evolution of fashion and its women's watches since the brand began designing them in 1853. However, the firm began to associate itself with the sporting world thanks to the pilot Harry Zweifel, who always wore his Tissot in the races.

Since the mid-1800s, Tissot It builds functional watch machines that do not neglect its unique and exclusive style. Currently, the brand makes use of the latest technologies in the watch sector in its mechanical calibers, making the finishes and designs of its watches a reference within its range. 

First antimagnetic wristwatch

The firm, which launched the world's first antimagnetic wristwatch in 1930 so that the magnetic fields of new electronic objects would not affect the movements of its watches, has a wide range of collections for both men and women. 

Powermatic 80 automatic watches work with the energy of their owner, since the movements of the wrist activate the operation of the mechanism. They offer a power reserve of 80 hours, which guarantees their precision even if the watch is not worn for three days. This is a distinctive feature compared to the competition, which usually offer power reserves of one and a half days. 

Swissmatic movement

On the other hand, the brand can boast with the Swissmatic movement, an innovation in the watchmaking sector. In this case, the Swissmatic provides a 72-hour power reserve. 

In addition, they are equipped with a high-end, resistant automatic chronograph movement, the ETA Valjoux caliber. It was designed in the 1970s and has continued to be used at all times, since its reliability and efficiency have made it one of the essential movements in the watch industry. 

Precision and extreme resistance

Although it may seem incredible, the watches of Tissot they are now more precise than before, since, just as in the 1930s, magnetic fields were still on the minds of watchmakers. Thus, silicon became the new material that regulated their movements. 

Sapphire crystal, a material with great hardness, only surpassed by diamond, equips the watches Tissot Extreme resistance to shocks, as well as good readability of the dial and hands, due to their transparency. This glass can take various shapes and, with it, various designs of the pieces, including flat or concave. In addition, Tissot is committed to guaranteeing the origin of the diamonds in its watches and their quality, especially with regard to color, purity or size. 

Its most remarkable features

For the manufacture of your watches, Tissot It uses 18 karat gold. Furthermore, with the use of mother-of-pearl, no two watches will be the same, since this material from the seabed has an iridescent effect and opalescent colors. The brand also uses ceramic, which is especially suitable for the external elements of the watch, which must withstand everyday scratches and knocks. Since ceramic does not rust over time, the watch will never lose its shine. 

Another outstanding feature of the brand is that some of its watches incorporate a material called Super-LumiNova®. This makes things like dials and hands visible in the dark. Likewise, it resorts to greener energy for its emblematic T-Touch collection: Expert Solar and Connect Solar. Quartz watches work thanks to a battery but, in this case, the energy is obtained from natural or artificial light.
