Key Features
- Transparent Skeleton Dial: A hallmark of the Chemin Des Tourelles collection, the open dial reveals the Nivachron Powermatic 80 movement in all its mechanical glory. This allows wearers to admire the balance wheel, escapement, and gear train as they operate, turning routine timekeeping into a daily appreciation of fine mechanics. The transparency is carefully calibrated to maintain legibility while showcasing the movement’s architecture—a rare balance achieved through expert engineering.
- Elegant Faceted Baton Hour Markers: Each hour marker is precisely faceted to catch and reflect light subtly across the dial. Unlike traditional markers that may blend into the background, these batons stand out with refined sophistication, enhancing visibility without overwhelming the clean, minimalist layout. Their understated brilliance complements the watch’s overall aesthetic, adding depth and dimension to the transparent backdrop.
- Nivachron™ Powermatic 80 Movement: At the heart of this timepiece lies Tissot’s advanced automatic caliber, designed for long-term reliability and performance. The Powermatic 80 delivers an impressive 80-hour power reserve—more than three days—ensuring consistent operation even after several days of non-wearing. Additionally, the use of Nivachron hairspring enhances anti-magnetic resistance, protecting accuracy against interference from everyday electronics such as smartphones, laptops, and kitchen appliances.
- Classic Round Case Design: True to its name and heritage, the Chemin Des Tourelles features a round case that has become synonymous with Tissot’s identity. This silhouette remains universally flattering and versatile, suitable for both men and women across different wrist sizes. Its proportions are balanced and refined, ensuring comfort and style whether paired with a tailored suit or a casual ensemble.
