Bright orange is not subtle, and that is exactly why this T-Touch Expert Solar works. The color runs from the silicone strap to the hands on the black dial, turning a serious multifunction instrument into something with real personality while the solar-charged movement keeps it running with nothing more than daylight.

Launched in 2014, the T-Touch Expert Solar brought dial-integrated solar cells to Tissot’s tactile line, and this titanium version shows how well the idea suits an active watch. Wake the touch interface and the crystal becomes a selector for weather forecasting, altitude, compass bearing, chronograph and more, with the hands swinging around to point the way. The titanium case keeps the 45mm size easy to wear, and the grey deployant buckle holds the strap securely.

It is a watch for climbers, cyclists, sailors and anyone who would rather be noticed than blend in. The orange also has a practical side: it is easy to spot on a towel or a dashboard.
