The Tissot Le Locle Powermatic 80 T006.407.16.053.00 brings traditional Swiss watchmaking into a design that feels elegant, mature and easy to wear. Named after Tissot’s hometown in Switzerland, the Le Locle collection has become one of the brand’s most recognisable families of classic automatic watches. This model features a rich black dial with a beautifully textured centre that gives the watch extra depth when viewed from different angles. Traditional Roman numeral indexes surround the dial and give it the unmistakable character of a classic dress watch. Slim silver-tone hands complement the stainless steel case and stand out clearly against the black background.
A neatly positioned date display at 3 o’clock provides useful everyday functionality. Inside the watch is a Swiss automatic Powermatic 80 movement, powered naturally through the movement of the wearer’s wrist. With up to 80 hours of power reserve, the watch can continue running for more than three days when fully powered. Tissot also equips the movement with its patented Nivachron™ balance spring, which offers improved resistance against magnetic fields encountered in modern daily life. The case measures 39.3mm in diameter, giving it classic proportions that work especially well for formal and professional dressing. At approximately 9.75mm thick, the case maintains a neat profile on the wrist.
Tissot uses 316L stainless steel for the case, providing a durable and polished foundation for the traditional design. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal covers the dial, an important feature for a premium watch intended to be enjoyed for years. Turn the watch over and its see-through caseback reveals the mechanical movement inside, adding another detail for automatic-watch enthusiasts to appreciate. The watch comes with a black alligator-style grained cowhide leather strap that perfectly complements the dial. A butterfly clasp with push-buttons provides a clean and secure closure, while the quick-release system makes changing the strap more convenient. With 3 bar / 30m water resistance, the watch provides protection suitable for normal everyday exposure to water.
