First antimagnetic wristwatch

The firm, which launched the world’s first anti-magnetic 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 are powered by their owner’s energy, since the movements of the wrist activate the operation of the mechanism. They offer a power reserve of 80 hours, which guarantees their accuracy even if the watch is not worn for three days. This is a distinctive feature compared to the competition, which usually offers one-and-a-half-day walking reservations.

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 offers a 72-hour power reserve.

In addition, they feature a high-end, rugged automatic chronograph movement, the ETA Valjoux caliber. It was designed in the 1970s and has continued to be used throughout the ages, as its reliability and efficiency have made it one of the must-have movements in the watchmaking industry.

Precision and extreme resistance

Incredible as it may seem, Tissot watches are now more accurate than before because, just as in the 1930s, magnetic fields were still occupying the watchmakers’ minds. Thus, silicon became the new material that regulated their movements.

The sapphire crystal, a material of great hardness, only surpassed by diamond, gives Tissot watches an extreme resistance to shocks, as well as a good readability of the dial and hands, due to its transparency. This glass can adopt various shapes and, therefore, various part designs, including flat or concave. Tissot is also committed to guaranteeing the provenance of the diamonds in its watches and their quality, particularly in terms of color, purity and size.

Its most outstanding features

For the manufacture of its watches, Tissot uses 18-carat gold. In addition, with the use of mother-of-pearl, no two watches will be alike, as this material from the seabed has an iridescent effect and opalescent colors. The brand also uses ceramic, which proves particularly suitable for the external elements of the watch, which must withstand everyday scratches and shocks. Since ceramic does not oxidize over time, the watch will never lose its luster.

Another of the brand’s outstanding features is that some of its watches incorporate a material called Super-LumiNova®. This makes elements such as dials and hands visible in the dark. It also turns to greener energy for its flagship T-Touch collection: Expert Solar and Connect Solar. Quartz watches are powered by a battery, but in this case, the energy is obtained from natural or artificial light.
