Key Features
- Swiss Automatic Movement: The in-house Powermatic 80 caliber operates without batteries, relying on natural wrist motion to stay wound. This traditional yet advanced mechanism ensures consistent timekeeping and embodies Swiss watchmaking excellence.
- 80-Hour Power Reserve: One of the standout advantages of this movement is its extended 80-hour power reserve. This means the watch will continue running for over three days without being worn—perfect for weekend getaways or alternating between multiple timepieces.
- Nivachron Hairspring: Tissot integrates the Nivachron hairspring into this movement, a proprietary alloy designed to resist magnetic interference and temperature fluctuations. This innovation significantly improves accuracy and reduces susceptibility to everyday magnetic fields from phones, laptops, and other electronics.
- 1978 Heritage Case Design: The case draws direct inspiration from Tissot’s 1978 archives, featuring a distinctive integrated bracelet that flows seamlessly from the lugs. This design not only enhances visual continuity but also contributes to the watch’s slim, ergonomic fit.
- Green Dial: The deep green dial offers a rich, eye-catching finish that shifts subtly under different lighting. Paired with clean indices and hands, it maintains excellent legibility while delivering a modern twist on vintage style.
- Slim and Comfortable Profile: Engineered for daily wear, the watch’s low-profile case ensures it slips easily under shirt cuffs and remains unobtrusive during active use—ideal for professionals and casual wearers alike.
