Named for the Swiss valley town where Tissot has worked since the nineteenth century, the Le Locle collection arrived in 2003 to mark the company's 150th anniversary, and this green-dialled variant is among the more striking members of the current line. The gold PVD case and two-tone bracelet are straightforward enough, but it is the dial that earns attention: a clous de Paris guilloché ground — small raised pyramids covering the entire surface — sits beneath the green, so the dial shifts and catches depending on the angle of light in a way a plain finish simply does not. The Powermatic 80.111 inside runs for 80 hours on a full wind, which means a watch left on a Friday night is still running Monday morning. The Nivachron balance spring resists magnetic fields without requiring soft-iron shielding inside the case, keeping the profile slim enough to sit neatly under a cuff. The movement is visible through the caseback, and it is worth looking at: this is a calibre designed to run long and accurately rather than to impress at a glance, but the finishing is correct for the price point and the architecture reads cleanly through the sapphire window.

Learn more about Tissot

Charles-Félicien Tissot and his son Charles-Émile founded the company in Le Locle in 1853, assembling gold pocket watches and, unusually for the time, exporting aggressively — Russia became a major market within a decade.

Tissot's history is a sequence of firsts achieved through willingness to try materials and ideas the establishment considered unserious. The first mass-produced pocket watch with two time zones came in 1853. The first anti-magnetic wristwatch in 1930. The Astrolon of 1971 was the first watch with a movement made largely of injection-moulded plastic, and it worked. The RockWatch of 1985 used Alpine granite for the case, followed by watches in wood and mother-of-pearl.

The T-Touch of 1999 was the most significant: a tactile sapphire crystal allowing the wearer to access altimeter, barometer, compass, thermometer, and chronograph by touching the glass, years before touchscreens were commonplace.

Tissot merged with Omega in 1930 and both became founding members of what is now the Swatch Group. Its position in the group is volume and accessibility — Swiss mechanical and quartz watches at prices most people can reach, with the Powermatic 80 movement offering an eighty-hour reserve at entry level.

The company has held timekeeping roles across cycling, basketball, motorsport, and fencing.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch

Can I swim with it?

No. At 30m it will survive rain and handwashing, but not submersion of any kind.

Water resistance explained

Will the glass scratch?

Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.

Sapphire, mineral and acrylic compared

Does it need a battery?

No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.

Quartz, automatic and solar compared

How long does it run for when it's not worn?

About 80 hours fully wound — enough to sit off the wrist over a weekend and still be running.

What size strap does it take?

19mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.

Is it a men's or women's watch?

Listed as men's, though at 39mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.

Cheapest place to buy
