Mixing metals can look flashy, but Tissot uses it sparingly here. On the Chemin des Tourelles Powermatic 80 T139.807.22.038.00, rose gold-tone PVD appears on the bezel and in the bracelet, so the steel watch gains warmth without losing its everyday practicality. It pairs nicely with gold jewelry and a wedding band.

The silver dial is a classic composition: Roman numerals alternating with faceted indexes, slim hands and a date at six o’clock, all beneath a domed sapphire crystal. The 39mm case is a sweet spot for most wrists, measuring 11.2mm thick with 20mm lugs.

Its Swiss Powermatic 80.111 automatic movement has 23 jewels, a Nivachron balance spring for magnetic resistance and an 80-hour power reserve, and you can watch it through the transparent caseback. Water resistance reaches 50 meters. Chemin des Tourelles is the street in Le Locle where Tissot’s factory was established in 1907, and this watch carries that heritage with style.
