Why customers love Tissot?

Tissot Seastar1971 Cal manual 781-1. One of my first watches; bought on the bay a few years ago, it was a nice surprise for me. The watch was cosmetically very clean, the dial not pitted. Seastar obliges, screwed back and pierced horns like in the good old days, very practical for changing the straps. The watch works very well and the silver sunray dial, very classic, goes well in all circumstances. Of course I forget swimming! A good little classic that echoes my PRX: watches that give a lot without breaking the bank.

Bitten by the fashion for integrated bracelets and by the vintage of the 70s, I started looking for a Tissot PR 516 (we know very well because of whom on this platform). On the other hand, I was a little put off by the small announced diameter of 33mm of the watch. During my research I turned to the GL ranges (grand Luxe) whose diameter is larger (36mm) and which offers indexes arranged on a levitating insert above the dial. This very original device gives depth to the dial. And then I come across this PR 526 GL which is the iteration of the 516 from the end of the second half of the 70s from what I read here and there. Compared to its elder, the 526 benefits from a chamfer on the indexes which makes it a little more chic than sporty (subtle). There are also a few more finishing constraints on the dial. This is what attracted me to this model: the blue-green dial, the orange hand and the cosmetic condition of the watch in general. However, I have a small question mark for this dial whose logo is simply printed and not applied, as well as the absence of an insert around the date and day windows... I don't think it's a fake but perhaps a way to save money during the quartz crisis. I don't know. The three-link bracelet gives it a muscular look and brings a nice presence to the wrist. As for the mechanism, nothing to complain about; Tissot caliber 2940 (Omega 1022 base) very well adjusted. An original, affordable watch from a historic watch brand that has its place in the pantheon of chic sports watches alongside the giants that are the Royal Oak or the Nautilus.

I was hesitating between the PRX Powermatic 35 and 40mm, when suddenly, he crossed the entire universe as fast as the speed of light... And yes, it's him, Goldorak, or rather his Japanese name: Gurandaiza, although he's much better known in France and Italy than in Japan. No more hesitation, this was the model I needed. Although it wasn't a limited edition, the watch quickly became unavailable on the Tissot website, fortunately a well-known AD was about to receive one. I thank him. Note that it is now available again on the official website. As you can see, this is more of a child's whim than a horological grail, but still, without dwelling on its characteristics, which it shares with the automatic PRXs that never left Earth, it's a nice watch with an 80-hour power reserve, very precise (about 30 seconds ahead per month), a strap that's comfortable to wear and very easy to change. I also bought a rubber strap, which I find better matches the regressive side of the watch. As for the "UFO ROBO GURANDAIZĀ" itself, I appreciate the absence of a date (Goldorak often gets the day wrong). The subtle "Goldorakization" means that at 50 cm, you can't tell that this is an exclusive model. Of course, there's the robot's bust shallowly engraved on the dial, the asteroid-shaped seconds hand, and engravings above the railway and on the oscillating weight. And the case: the spaceship, very nice. I regret that the case doesn't fit the wrist tightly enough for my taste, like the other PRXs. The brand inscription on the beast's chest is inappropriate, but they couldn't not LOGO it; not everyone can be Moser. On the other hand, I'm very disappointed by the luminova, which is far too weak. In photos, Goldorak's silhouette appears green, which is very charming; unfortunately, in real life, it's fleeting and not spectacular at all. The extra cost is a bit high compared to terrestrial models, but exclusivity comes at a PRICE.

This PRX Powermatic 80 Carbon speaks to my technical side. It's a watch with an ultra-shiny finish and dial, and is superbly well-crafted. Once on your wrist, you can't feel it. It's ultra-comfortable. It's somewhere between a dress watch and a sports watch. I love it! And I wear it at least once or twice a week.

This watch is the first Swiss watch in the collection and the first automatic. I bought it for my 30th birthday. A refined watch, perhaps a little big for today's standards, but the lug to lug is not that enormous. I actually don't wear it much now, but it remains the first one in my eyes and in my heart.

While hunting for a few small watches on websites, out of sight of my girlfriend, I came across this little one. It was in very good condition. Its dial was scratch-free, the movement was serviced, and the bracelet was dazzling. Its shiny dial captures the surrounding light and reveals cross-hatching patterns dancing with its metal indexes. Despite its age (I think it dates from the 1970s), it's a timeless model with its charm. Discreet and full of character, it fits perfectly on my small wrist. The Tissot Seastars are affordable models that will delight vintage watch enthusiasts.

Discreetly elegant, its 35mm diameter fits perfectly on a 17cm wrist. It's hard to find a better watch at this price. It goes with any outfit. It's the perfect everyday watch, at least once you've found the right strap fit. It's not the most original piece, but for anyone looking for a sporty-chic watch without breaking the bank, it's perfect.

Hello, I present to you this magnificent Tissot Luxury Powermatic 80 that I share with my father-in-law. It dates from 2015. Its gray dial and steel bracelet make it a chic and classy watch, and I wear it almost daily. Moreover, with its 80-hour power reserve, it's truly comfortable, even if a good service will be necessary.

For once, I present my Tissot pocket watch, or fob watch. It is a so-called "savonnette" model, that is to say that the dial and the glass are protected by a metal cover, which allows a mineral glass. I particularly like the historical Tissot logo, as well as the Roman numerals and the small seconds. All this really gives an old character to the watch

I have had a soft spot for the Tissot PR516 for quite some time with its very simple case and its 33/34mm format. This one is doubly appealing because it is mounted on a steel Racing bracelet that is absolutely fantastic in terms of looks but really not comfortable! It doesn't matter - as the other would say - because it is the symbol of racing watches often presented with a bracelet and not the latter. It is an electronic model based on Dynotron... a hybrid caliber with a battery instead of a spring while retaining a balance spring for regulation. Its look is very original, you might think it is a diver's watch... but it is not, no unidirectional bezel or special waterproofness. If you want to spark a watchmaking discussion, you will have more success with this Tissot than with a blockbuster from the market that has been seen and reviewed ;-) Orange is the new black
