Tissot Gentleman Automatic 38mm Mens Watch Green
Ref. T1658071109100
Sits in Tissot’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Tissot watches we list, which start at £245.
Price range £245 to £1,875 across 310 Tissot watches in stock.The Gentleman line arrived in 2019 as Tissot's case for a clean, unshowy automatic at a sensible size, and this 38mm version refines that argument further. It is a deliberate step down from the 40mm original — the diameter is tighter, the dial drops the crosshair pattern that divided its predecessor's face, and the Nivachron hairspring replaces the silicon balance spring of the larger model. Nivachron resists magnetism and absorbs shock without the fragility that silicon can bring, which matters more than it sounds for a watch that genuinely gets worn every day. At 45.7mm lug-to-lug and 11.53mm thick, this sits neatly on narrower wrists and disappears under a shirt cuff without protest. The green dial has a pyramidal sunray-brushed finish that cuts it into quarters — not immediately obvious, but visible when the light catches it at an angle, giving the dial a quiet geometry rather than a flat field of colour. Applied markers and a framed date window keep the face legible without cluttering it. The Powermatic 80 underneath earns its keep. An 80-hour reserve means a watch set down on a Friday evening is still running on Monday morning, which is genuinely useful for anyone who rotates across several pieces. The bracelet releases without tools, so swapping to a strap is a two-second job rather than a bench exercise.

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?
Yes. At 100m it is rated for swimming and snorkelling, though not for diving.
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?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedWhat size strap does it take?
18mm. 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.
Will it fit my wrist?
Lug-to-lug is 45.7mm, which suits wrists from roughly 16cm (6¼ 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 men's, though at 38mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
