Product Information

Full details

This Tissot Chemin des Tourelles watch is designed for individuals who appreciate timeless mechanical design and Swiss heritage. Its key benefit is the reliable Powermatic 80 movement offering an 80-hour power reserve, combined with a sophisticated bicolour aesthetic. A minor caveat is its 50-meter water resistance, which limits its suitability for deep water activities.

FAQs

What is the power reserve of the Powermatic 80 movement?

The Powermatic 80 movement boasts an impressive power reserve of up to 80 hours, meaning the watch will continue to function for three days without being worn, provided it is fully wound.

Is the watch suitable for swimming?

The watch has a water resistance of 5 bar (50 meters), which is suitable for everyday wear, minor splashes, and rain. It is not recommended for swimming, showering, or any water-related activities that involve immersion.

How do I clean the watch?

Clean the watch case and bracelet with a soft, dry cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and dry it immediately. Avoid using soaps, solvents, or abrasive cleaners.

Can I change the watch strap?

Yes, the watch features an interchangeable bracelet, allowing you to easily swap it for other compatible 18mm straps to personalize its appearance.

What does 'rose gold PVD' mean?

PVD stands for Physical Vapour Deposition. It's a thin coating applied to the stainless steel case to give it a rose gold colour. This coating is durable but can show wear over time with heavy use.

How often should a mechanical watch be serviced?

It is generally recommended to have a mechanical watch serviced by a qualified watchmaker every 3 to 5 years to maintain its accuracy and ensure the longevity of its internal components.

Is this watch magnetic?

The Chemin des Tourelles collection features enhanced anti-magnetism, making it more resistant to magnetic interference than standard mechanical watches. However, exposure to very strong magnetic fields should still be avoided.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped and is not running.

Manually wind the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times. Ensure the watch is worn regularly to allow the automatic mechanism to keep it powered.

Watch is losing or gaining time significantly.

Mechanical watches can be affected by magnetism or require servicing. If the issue persists after ensuring it's fully wound and not exposed to strong magnetic fields, consult a watchmaker for potential regulation or servicing.

Date is not changing correctly.

Ensure you are not trying to change the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement. Consult the manual for the correct procedure to set the date.

Crown is difficult to operate.

Ensure the crown is pulled out to the correct position for winding or setting. If it feels stiff or jammed, do not force it; seek professional assistance.

  • Elegant and versatile design suitable for both professional and formal occasions.
  • High-quality materials including sapphire crystal for durability.

Cons

  • Water resistance is limited to 50 meters, not suitable for swimming or diving.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This is a mechanical automatic watch. It is powered by the movement of your wrist. To start the watch, wear it for a few hours. If the watch has stopped, you can manually wind it by rotating the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times while it is in its closed position. Setting the time and date is done by pulling the crown out to the appropriate position and turning it.

Compatibility:

  • Bracelet: The watch comes with an interchangeable stainless steel and rose gold PVD bracelet. It can be replaced with other compatible 18mm straps to customize its look.
  • Movement: The Powermatic 80 movement is designed for optimal performance and longevity.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Water Resistance: While water-resistant to 50 meters, avoid prolonged immersion in water. Ensure the crown is pushed in fully before exposure to moisture. Avoid exposing the watch to sudden temperature changes.
  • Maintenance: Mechanical watches benefit from periodic servicing (typically every 3-5 years) by a qualified watchmaker to ensure continued accuracy and performance. Avoid exposing the watch to strong magnetic fields, as this can affect its accuracy.
