From Heritage to T-Touch – the world of Tissot models
With a sense of its own history moving straight toward the future: Tissot watches are perfect examples of first-class, classic Swiss watchmaking – and also packed with cutting-edge technology. The design and formal language of the individual collections are extremely diverse. Below, we take a look at the most important model series:
- Tissot Heritage: the name of the line says it all – Heritage watches pay tribute to Tissot's great legacy. The timepieces take a nostalgic journey into the past and offer refreshingly new interpretations of legendary models. Technically, the exquisite automatic watches of the Heritage series are particularly state-of-the-art.
- Tissot Seastar: robust, reliable, and breathtakingly sporty: the chronographs and diving watches of the Tissot Seastar 1000 or Tissot Seastar 2000 Professional Powermatic 80 line are water-resistant up to 60 bar. High-quality automatic movements, rotating ceramic bezels, and screw-down crowns are just as much a feature of the models as scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, Super-LumiNova luminous coatings, and transparent case backs. These impressive timepieces cut a brilliant figure not only underwater, but also in social settings.
- Tissot T-Classic: another model series with rich reminiscences of Tissot's great history. Sub-series such as the Tissot Le Locle and the Chemin des Tourelles models directly reference Tissot's place of origin, where the company has been based since 1907. Timepieces of ageless elegance with precise lines, sophisticated sunray dials, dazzling two-tone finishes, and delicate Roman numerals.
- Tissot PRX: without question, the PRX is one of Tissot's most legendary and popular models. Hardly any other watch series has been as successful in recent years as the PRX. Its angular, striking case is integrated into the bracelet, meaning that the bracelet and case blend seamlessly into one another. The PRX's clean design pays homage to the 1970s and combines the highest level of expertise with timeless style. The PRX is available in quartz, automatic, and digital versions.
- Tissot T-Lady: modern, feminine, full of spirit and class. The T-Lady collection plays with delicate shapes, soft colours, and exclusive materials. With an optimal blend of confident glamour and casual understatement, these highly elegant women's watches appeal to every fashionista.
- Tissot T-Race: spectacular watches for gentleman bikers and fans of motorcycle and bicycle racing. The adrenaline-fueled, dynamic designs of the sleek chronographs and racy three-hand watches are full of allusions to racing. Bezels with a brake disc look or strap lugs reminiscent of the rear suspension of motorcycles are just two examples. The T-Race MotoGP and T-Race Cycling special models point to Tissot's long-standing commitment as the official timekeeper at major racing events.
- Tissot T-Sport: at Tissot, sportiness comes in many different forms. This is particularly evident in the wide range of models in the T-Sport collection. The wristwatches and chronographs in the series share a perfect combination of spirited form and coherent functionality.
- Tissot T-Touch: in Tissot's rich history of innovation, the T-Touch series is probably the most innovative of all. Back in 1999, Tissot presented the T-Touch, the world's first tactile multifunctional watch. These touchscreen watches are still multifunctional. In addition to an altimeter and compass, these smart connected watches also function as health and activity trackers. They're an absolute must-have, especially for fashion-conscious sports enthusiasts, outdoor fans, and technology lovers.
Tissot watch types at a glance
From the classic quartz model to the smart T-Touch solar version: Tissot's various watch types cover everything every stylish watch enthusiast's heart desires:
- Automatic watches: the beauty of mechanics to admire and wear. Tissot's automatic movements, such as the Valjoux chronograph movement or the Powermatic 80, have a power reserve of up to 80 hours. This is more than enough to keep the time accurately even if the watch hasn't been worn for three days. With this performance, Tissot significantly outperforms the calibres of most competitors.
- Quartz watches: those who value precision really can't do without a quartz watch. Tissot's quartz models run precisely and are considered very durable and low-maintenance. The end-of-life function on some Tissot quartz watches indicates when their battery needs to be replaced.
- Digital watches: clear displays and practical additional features such as timer, alarm, or stopwatch functions make digital Tissot watches attractive for anyone who prioritizes functionality in a watch. Especially the charming retro touch of some watches also makes them an excellent visual choice.
- Smartwatches: even though Tissot itself prefers to avoid the term "smartwatch" for the hybrid models in its T-Touch series, that's exactly what they are: smart watches. The (hybrid) Tissot smartwatches combine classic, analogue Swiss watchmaking with a host of digital and intelligent features – including fitness tracking, notifications, and sustainable solar power.
- Solar watches: Tissot's solar models use sunlight as their energy source. They demonstrate how elegant and attractive sustainability can look. And let's get straight to the point: thanks to a power autonomy of several months in connected mode, the watches will run even when the sun is absent for a longer period of time.
- Diving watches: do you appreciate (everyday) adventures with depth – and pure elegance? Tissot's excellent diver watches and diving chronographs easily make for a dress watch, too. Naturally, high water resistance, rotating bezels, and consistently good legibility ensure you always keep track of the time, even while swimming, surfing, or diving.
From gold to black – Tissot watches in various designs
Tissot leaves nothing to chance when it comes to design. Thanks to decades of expertise and a keen eye for aesthetics, every single Tissot watch is a harmonious composition, thought through down to the last detail. The interplay of shapes, colours, and materials in the case, strap, and dial results in a virtually limitless stylistic variety. So, in your search for your personal favourite, you'll find a wealth of options:
- Watch bands: Tissot's straps and bracelets are almost as diverse as their watches. In the uhrcenter shop, you'll always find a large selection of bands made from a wide variety of materials. All Tissot watch bands can be changed quickly and easily, completely without tools. Do you prefer leather? Leather straps are available in all classic, muted colours, from black to brown to dark blue. Equally popular and suitable for a more chic, classic wardrobe are stainless steel straps with a mesh look. If you're very active, a durable, comfortable strap made of rubber, textile, or silicone is a good choice. Brighter colours like yellow, red, or light blue are also available.
- Dials: a watch's dial is usually its most striking design element. In addition to the type of display – analogue, digital, or chrono with subdials – the surface design and colour scheme determine the effect of a dial. At Tissot, you'll find dials with a brilliant sunray cut, sophisticated patterns, and refined guilloché or skeletonization. The models offer a wide variety of metal tones and the entire spectrum of the rainbow: from radiant silver, shimmering mother-of-pearl, and magnificent gold to deep green, blue, or black, as well as vibrant colours like turquoise, orange, or red.
- Cases: material and dimensions play just as important a role in watch cases as shape and colour. Tissot offers cases of every size and shape – from delicate T-Lady models and the Tissot PRX tonneau cases to the powerful chronographs of the Tissot Supersport or T-Race lines. In addition to classic stainless steel cases, the Sideral series also features carbon fibre, and the T-Touch series features titanium. Coloured PVD coatings, gold plating, and polished or matted effects characterize the look, as do striking bezels and push buttons. Ergonomic designs ensure a perfect fit and increase wearing comfort.
What you should consider when buying a Tissot watch
Given the wide selection of Tissot models, you should be clear about which features, characteristics, and visual qualities are most important to you in your new watch before purchasing. The following criteria should help you make the right decision:
- Functions: are you looking for a stylish companion that complements your business outfit and tells you the time precisely? Or should your new Tissot watch, in addition to its sporty, stylish look, also have various functions – such as a compass, altimeter, solar power, or a stopwatch function? At Tissot, you'll definitely find both: minimalist three-hand models for a suit, as well as chronographs and T-Touch connected watches packed with cutting-edge technology.
- Movement: quartz watches are precise, easy to care for, and reliable. Automatic models have the components of mechanical watches, but do not require manual winding; instead, they wind automatically through the wearer's hand movements. Tissot automatic watches often feature a glass case back, providing a clear view of the movement – a highlight for every technology and watch fan.
- Materials: stainless steel is very robust and the most common case material, sometimes coated with rose gold, gold, or other colours. However, Tissot models are also available with a titanium case. For the strap, you can choose between leather, stainless steel, titanium, rubber, silicone, or textile – depending on your individual preferences and the intended use of the watch.
- Water resistance: all Tissot watch cases are thoroughly tested, including their water resistance. All models are water-resistant to at least 3 bar and are therefore protected against splashes of water, for example, when washing your hands, making them suitable for everyday wear. If you don't want to take off your Tissot watch when showering or swimming, it should have a water resistance of at least 10 bar. Diving requires a water resistance of at least 20 bar. Diver’s watches like the Seastar 1000 or Tissot Sideral are generally water-resistant to at least 30 bar anyway.
Tip: of course, the design is probably the most important aspect when buying a watch. Ultimately, you have to like your watch to enjoy wearing it. If you have the opportunity, we recommend trying on your preferred model before purchasing it. This way, you can determine whether the watch suits you, how it wears, and whether you actually need its features.
Tissot watches for men and women
Tissot does not strictly divide its wristwatches into women's watches and men's watches. Many models, for example, from the T-Classic or Heritage series, are available in various case diameters or in unisex sizes, making them suitable for both men and women. Perhaps the most prominent example of a watch that appeals across genders, generations, and occasions is certainly the Tissot PRX. Often, it's simply a matter of natural intuition which determines which models are more suitable for women or men:
- Men's watches: whether businesslike or casual, there's certainly no shortage of striking watch designs for men in the Tissot collection. Due to their often larger wrists, men generally prefer larger cases. Design and technical refinements such as a tachymeter scale or stopwatch function are also very popular with men. Among the wristwatches and chronographs in the Tissot T-Sport or Seastar lines, there are some particularly impressive models.
- Women's watches: fashion-conscious women will surely fall in love with the delicate, finely proportioned, and sometimes wonderfully glamourous models of the T-Lady, T-Classic, or Tissot Lovely series. In addition to minimalist, classically understated watches, others attract attention with dazzling two-tone looks, glittering diamonds, or shimmering mother-of-pearl dials.
How to clean and care for Tissot watches properly
Tissot watches are very high-quality and robust. However, these timepieces require a certain amount of care to ensure you can enjoy them for as long as possible. Regardless of the case and band material, you should avoid contact with skin creams, lotions, or perfumes. Just like sweat and salt water, cosmetics can attack the materials. When buying watches with leather straps, please note that water and sweat stains can quickly form on leather, a natural product. It's best to switch to a stainless steel bracelet or rubber strap in the summer. Speaking of summer: watches don't like to be left in direct sunlight, as UV rays can bleach the dial and strap, and the heat can damage them. Large temperature fluctuations can negatively affect accuracy.
Cotton or microfibre cloths are ideal for polishing and drying your watch because they are particularly soft. You can remove fine dirt particles or sand with a soft toothbrush. If dirt is trapped in the grooves and crevices between the case, bezel, or bracelet links, carefully remove it with a brush. If your watch is water-resistant to 5 bar or higher, you can also clean it under running water. However, avoid dishwashing detergents or other cleaning agents and use mild soapy water or plain water instead. After cleaning, dry the watch thoroughly with a soft cotton cloth.
