Our take on the Tissot Chemin Des Tourelles Powermatic 80 39 mm Watch

The Tissot Chemin des Tourelles Powermatic 80 is a dress watch with a 39 mm stainless steel case, a blue dial with applied index markers, and a brown leather strap on a buckle. It runs on the automatic Powermatic 80 movement, which Tissot rates at about 80 hours of power reserve, and it has a sapphire crystal and a date window. Water resistance is 5 ATM (50 m), enough for handwashing and rain but not for swimming. It sits in Tissot's mid-range classic line, above the Le Locle in finishing and below the Heritage models in price.
