The Helvetic Pride edition of the Tissot Chemin des Tourelles Powermatic 80 Lady is a love letter to Switzerland hidden on the back of the watch. Introduced in 2017, it features a solid caseback that recalls a Swiss franc coin, depicting Helvetia, the national personification of Switzerland, surrounded by 23 stars representing the cantons.

The front is just as polished. A white mother-of-pearl dial carries Roman numerals at 12, 3 and 9, index markers and rose gold-tone hands, with a date window at 6. Rose gold PVD accents on the bezel and the center links of the bracelet add warmth to the 32mm steel case. The butterfly clasp keeps the bracelet secure and comfortable.

Powering it is the Powermatic 80 automatic, with up to 80 hours of power reserve. Paired with the Chemin des Tourelles name, a nod to Tissot’s Le Locle headquarters, it is a watch full of Swiss symbolism.
