Some people want a watch that whispers rather than shouts. The black-dial, black-strap Tissot PR 100 T150.410.16.051.00 is exactly that: a sleek, low-key design that looks sharp with dark suits, black jeans and everything in between, and never draws attention away from the rest of your outfit.

There is plenty of quality beneath the understatement. The PR 100 collection has been a Tissot best-seller since the early 1980s, with a name that stands for precision and robustness. This modern 40mm edition is just 8.25mm thick, with a narrow bezel, a tapered crown and a sapphire crystal that keeps the dark dial free of scratches.

The Swiss quartz movement handles timekeeping with no need for winding, and Super-LumiNova on the hands lifts the time off the black dial in low light. The alligator-grain cowhide strap closes with a classic pin buckle and swaps out quickly when you fancy a change.
