Chemin des Tourelles Powermatic 80

Far from Tissot’s sporty collections, the Chemin des Tourelles is a tribute to the geographical roots of the Swiss manufacture located at Chemin des Tourelles, Le Locle. A timeless classic the 39 mm watch displays its sophistication with a 316L steel case coated in rose gold PVD sheltering a lacquered silver dial. The highly minimalist model houses slim and slender hands, convex and faceted index and a discreet date aperture at 6 o’clock. Visible through a crystal case back, the Powermatic 80 calibre equipped with an anti-magnetism spiral Nivachron™ offers an 80-hour power reserve. Beating at the heart of this edition, the watch is fitted on a refined brown leather strap and rated to 50 meters of water-resistance.

Through a crystal case back, the self-winding calibre displays its cut out oscillating weight.

PR100

Released at the beginning of the 1980s, the PR100 distinguishes itself with its precision – “P” – and its robustness – “R”. This 40 mm vintage chic reference in 316L steel features a brown leather strap. The silver dial reveal a slightly brushed vertical finish contrasted by rose gold coloured hands and index covered with luminescent matter and a date aperture at 3 o’clock. The model has a water-resistance of 100 meters and houses a EOL – End-Of-Life – quartz movement of fine Swiss manufacture. To indicate that the battery needs to be changed, the seconds hand makes 4-second jumps, all the while still beating in time.
