When Tissot’s Swiss headquarters on Le Chemin des Tourelles was established in 1907 in the watchmaking town of Le Locle, it began a timeless tradition. That tradition was defined by ambition, devotion, innovation, timeless design and a forward- looking spirit. In 2023, that same tradition continues to define Tissot, even as the company adapts to our changing world. And no watch captures this confident character better than the evergreen classic Chemin des Tourelles. This year, Tissot is breathing new life into this eternal design, bringing it subtle but meaningful refinement and an upgraded automatic mechanical movement. As this new collection shows, the Chemin des Tourelles is a watch that will continue to symbolise life’s greatest moments and achievements for generations to come.
Eye for detail
Where is this refinement? It’s in every detail. It starts with the exquisitely polished case and generous domed sapphire crystal, which sits over a soft-sunray dial, also domed. Look closely, and the considered detailing continues into the hands, which have been sandblasted and polished to create texture that’s both pleasing to the eye and that makes the watch clear and easy to read. Look closer still and you’ll see the slimline hour markers are curved and gently faceted, subtle details that make a tangible impression on the watch’s overall look and feel. Together, these elements push the eye towards the dial edge, allowing the watch to breathe and creating a reassuring sense of calm confidence.
Style it your way
To accommodate the sensitivities of Tissot’s diverse global customers, the new Chemin des Tourelles will be available in three cases sizes, measuring 34mm, 39mm or 42mm. Similarly, it will appear with either an all-steel, rose gold PVD or steel and rose gold PVD bi-colour finish, with a variety of dial and strap colours. The watches will also be offered with metal bracelet options, and for those who like classic to be classical, there will be a choice of versions featuring Roman numerals on a Clous de Paris dial ring motif. For those who like simplicity, the models with batton indices will cater to those needs.
Moving up
While the basic identity of the Chemin des Tourelles remains essentially the same, its mechanical heartbeat continues to evolve. Each model in the new Chemin des Tourelles collection is governed by the new Nivachron Powermatic 80 movement.
This Swiss Made automatic calibre brings a number of benefits, including an 80-hour power reserve and increased resistance to magnetism. In a fast-changing world, the Chemin des Tourelles is the consistent link between the
past, the present and the future. Confident, classic, eternal, it is a symbol of success that time will never touch.
Collection
Basic Features
New colours, new materials, same classic. PRX, blazing the trail of coolness.
The introduction and extensions of the PRX line were a commercial and outstanding success for Tissot. Now, the brand is set to open the next exciting chapter in its story. The stylish collection will be joined by a few new models: quartz, automatic, and a high-end automatic chronograph. The range is distinctive for its slenderness, the strength of its design
and its timeless style. An essential of yesterday and today.
The cool lines and trailblazing late-70s vibe of the Tissot PRX made it an instant classic when it was relaunched in 2021. The free-thinking, design-first spirit of the 1978 original translated so naturally into our time. The slender silhouette fits perfectly under a shirt cuff or a jacket sleeve, fitting seamlessly with the chosen outfit, never stealing the limelight but making sure the wearer shines – and that he’s always on time. The dials in a range of colours and a distinctive tapered case make the PRX a highly wearable, timeless piece of design, adding that edge of coolness to any look and making anyone feel supremely ready for a good time. Anytime. Colours, materials, movements The brand’s iconic collection is being dressed up in new colours; the highly anticipated ice blue on the automatic version, as well as a silver and blue dial on the automatic chronograph. Additionally, a special feature has been added to one of the model, with a completely coated Super-LumiNova® dial. The wearer will shine, day and night. But that’s not all, new straps will also be part of the new release package. In addition to its recent leather strap releases, available in blue and black, Tissot is completing its range with rubber straps, for all-terrain comfort, in white or black. Thus, these new models take their place in a long line of watches that Tissot has made timeless thanks to its creativity, know-how and attention to detail, learned over a history spanning several decades. No matter the time, place, style or use, there’s a PRX for every
occasion.
A new atypical colour for Tissot
Keeping the same slight tonneau shape and slim polished bezel, the dial of the automatic model has been given a new colour, a prominent ice blue, while retaining its chequered pattern dial. The relief is printed in the metal itself, the hallmark that instantly distinguishes the PRX Powermatic 80 from its quartz counterparts. Tissot also wants to offer more accessorising options, and therefore proposes new models with either black or blue dials on new rubber straps for even greater comfort, without compromising on style.

Stop and start in style
The PRX line was first joined by the high-functioning PRX Automatic Chronograph last year.
This 42mm satin-finished steel watch follows the PRX’s sleek, angular form, adding to the laid- back 1970s sports watch style with a so-called ‘panda’ dial, with blue subdials this time around, on a silver background. The PRX Automatic Chronograph is powered by the Valjoux A05.H31 calibre, which will provide the design with the classic 3, 6 and 9 chronograph dial layout and an extended 60-hour power reserve.

To each his own
The PRX quartz model, a reference that recalls that of the original model, is also entitled to its novelty, with the blue and black dial versions also available with a black rubber strap. There is one model that stands out from the rest, however.
Indeed, Tissot wanted to release a new feature, which provides a totally different style and attribute, with an off-white dial and a rubber as a reminder of the latter. But that’s not all. The particularity of this watch is quite different, and it is a first for Tissot. The dial has been completely covered with Super-LumiNova®. This very clear new option, which stands out, will make the wearer shine, without stealing the show.

Tissot shoots for the stars with the street-style, basketball-inspired Supersport Chrono Basketball Edition
Tissot is excited to introduce a new Supersport Chrono Quartz to the collection of modern, masculine, almost futuristic sports chronograph watches that bring together quality Swiss watchmaking and design with the high-energy dynamics inspired by Tissot’s long association with global basketball culture and its modern, urban style.
Time spent in pursuit of excellence
Every contemporary Tissot watch is the product of over 170 years of development, innovation and success, made possible by the achievements of countless generations of skilled watchmakers who worked tirelessly in the pursuit of excellence and a desire to be the best. Those same values have inspired generations of basketball players and continue to define global basketball culture, too. Tissot and its basketball partners, the NBA (National Basketball Association) and FIBA (International Basketball Federation), know well: there are no shortcuts. Greatness does not happen overnight.
In the metal
The Tissot Supersport has always been defined by its quality and its versatility. As before, this special edition Supersport is a high-performance sports watch, boasting 100 metres of water-resistance and a 1/10 of a second chronograph with add and split functions. But it’s also highly wearable, with a compelling design that can move seamlessly from day to night and night to day.
This special edition has a distinctly urban feel, backed up by its 45.5mm black PVD-coated stainless steel case, crown and pushers, and by a gradient black dial with an original basketball net pattern that fades stylishly toward the centre. The watch also has three subdials; two for the chronograph’s 1/10th of a second and 30-minute counters, and a third
for the watch’s running seconds. The chronograph hands are in sporty orange, as is the watch’s central chronograph seconds hand, a colour chosen for its parallels with basketball. These also contribute to the watch’s elevated legibility, a theme that also informs the hour and minute hands and the 12 hour markers, all of which are filled with bright white Super- LumiNova®. The date window and the bezel’s tachymeter scale (for measuring speed over a known distance) are also white on black for ease of use. Under the dial is a high-quality Swiss Made quartz movement with a useful end-of-life indicator. Fundamentally, the Supersport is a street-style watch designed for modern, dynamic men
who want a versatile, assertive sports watch they can wear for sport and in everyday life. The watch’s bold, brooding silhouette is angular, muscular even, and yet it’s also slim enough to slip under a cuff.
A basketball strap with a story
Much of the Supersport’s story is in its black strap, which is crafted from black leather and finished with orange corner stitching, a nod to the NBA’s official game ball. Continuing the story of personalisation that runs through the Tissot collection, this strap can be switched out for an alternate, using Tissot’s interchangeable strap system. Owners can
choose from a range of Tissot straps in colours and materials such as leather, silicon or textile. Basketball fans can also tune up their watch with one of the 22 straps that make up the Tissot NBA Strap Collection, pairing their watch to their team, whether that’s the New York Knicks, the Los Angeles Lakers or the Denver Nuggets.
The perfect match
Tissot has been directly involved in global basketball culture for 15 years. The Swiss timekeeper first partnered with FIBA in 2008 and then came together with the NBA in 2015. Today, Tissot is a familiar presence at NBA games as the Official Watch and Official Timekeeper of the NBA, the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) and the NBA G League. As well as precision timing every second of every game, Tissot also NBA legend
Tony Parker as well as NBA players Klay Thompson, Damian Lillard and Clint Capela as ambassadors. With its ties to basketball, the Supersport is part of a trilogy of collections that symbolise Tissot’s sports partnerships. It sits alongside the T-Race models created in collaboration with the high-octane worlds of professional cycling and MotoGP.

It’s the size that counts as Tissot introduces the go-anywhere 40mm Seastar 1000 Quartz collection
Tissot is delighted to announce a new 40mm edition of the stylish, high-performance Seastar 1000 collection of sports watches. The Seastar 1000 Quartz 40mm sits perfectly between the 36mm and 45.5mm iterations of the Seastar 1000 already available.
This hugely versatile case size is designed to cater for men and women looking for a chic, yet bold watch that can cross over from day to night while still promising exceptional technical performance. As with the existing 36mm and 45.5mm models, the new pieces take their name from their water resistance certification of 1,000 feet, equivalent to 30 ATM or 300 metres. They also offer uni-directional rotating bezels for reliably timing underwater activity.
Shades of night and day
The new Seastar 1000 Quartz 40mm will be available in three colourways. First is a new but reassuringly ageless combination of black lacquered dial and black mineral bezel with clear, white detailing. Alongside this are models with a blue lacquered dial and blue mineral bezel with white detailing, and an upscale iteration that marries a black lacquered dial and black mineral bezel with golden detailing. The blue and black-and-gold options are also
available in the 36mm case size introduced in summer 2022. Each colourway has been chosen and refined to offer exceptional clarity and sophistication. Low-light legibility is further enhanced by the application of SuperLumiNova® to the watches’ hands and hour markers. The theme of refinement continues into the case and integrated three-link stainless steel metal bracelet, which have a blend of brushed and polished finishes to create contrast and
texture. The black and gold version comes on a matching black rubber strap.
Change it up
Throughout the Seastar 1000 Quartz 40mm models, straps and bracelets can be interchanged using Tissot’s easy-to-use quick strap change system, giving the owner the opportunity to choose from a wide range of compatible Tissot straps and personalise their watch to suit mood or occasion. The change can be made by simply clipping out and
clipping in – no visits to the jeweller or tool required.
This flexible, high-comfort approach to watch design is a key element in delivering versatility and one of the reasons watch buyers continue to return to Tissot for stylish, day-to-night, goanywhere watches.
Keeping you on time
The Seastar 1000 Quartz 40mm collection is powered by a high-quality Swiss Made quartz movement that delivers time and date functions with exceptional precision and reliability. And when the time comes to replace the battery, each model is equipped with Tissot’s EOL, or end-of-life indicator. This way, the wearer will know to replace the battery when it’s running low, rather than once it’s fully depleted. No unexpected drops in service.
Can we call it “techelegance”?
From first glance to everyday use, the Seastar 1000 Quartz 40mm model communicates style, performance and versatility. Each model is a harmonious marriage of elegance and technology, bringing Swiss watchmaking know-how and eternal design together.
