Stepping up in the same dial colour
The SRV name carries three layers of history. The design begins with Tissot's tank-style pieces from the 1920s, was reinterpreted in 1975, and the current collection draws from that 1975 model in turn — making it a revival of a revival, with Art Deco geometry intact at every stage. The rectangular case, the Roman numerals at twelve and six, the strict symmetry: all of it reads as a conscious inheritance rather than a borrowed aesthetic. At 21.8mm wide and 30mm long, the case sits well inside the wrist rather than across it, which is the correct proportion for this kind of dress watch. The 7.25mm profile keeps it genuinely flat, and it disappears beneath a cuff without the usual negotiation. The ETA 902.101 inside is built specifically for shaped cases — a calibre that is serviced easily and includes an end-of-life indicator, the seconds hand jumping every few seconds to flag a low battery before it dies silently. The gold-PVD mesh bracelet adjusts by sliding the clasp along the links and snapping it down, no tools needed, and the quick-release system means the bracelet can be swapped for a different strap without a watchmaker.

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?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedWill it fit my wrist?
Lug-to-lug is 30mm, which suits wrists from roughly 15cm (6 inches) upward.
Lug-to-lug decides fit more than case diameter does.
How to size a watch to your wristIs it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
