Tissot Men’s 40mm Watch (T156.410.11.041.00)

Here is a Tissot dress watch built around a blue dial, 40 mm across. The bezel is fluted rather than plain, cut with fine vertical grooves running around the case. Case and Wrist Presence The 40 mm case is finished in silver and shaped round, with a plain bezel that keeps the eye on the dial. A classic size that sits comfortably under a cuff without crowding a narrower wrist.. Seen face-on, the proportions favour the dial over the bezel, which is typical of this style of watch. Dial and Legibility A blue dial with stick markers and a date window makes this an easy watch to read at a glance, in a boardroom or in low light. In low light the polished edges of the markers still catch what light there is, which helps more than raw brightness would. Movement and Functions The movement is quartz. It is not the watch to buy for mechanical romance, but it is accurate, needs almost no attention, and the date only asks for a manual nudge past the short months. There is no mainspring to wind and no automatic rotor to keep moving through wear, which is the whole appeal of quartz at this price point. Bracelet and Fit The bracelet is finished in silver and can be sized by a jeweller removing or adding links, which is the only way to get an exact fit on a metal band. Who This Watch Suits Good for someone after a classic size and a plain dial that will not look dated in five years, at the cost of not standing out much either. Care and Maintenance A flat battery left sitting inside the case is the most common cause of avoidable damage, so have it replaced promptly by a watchmaker who can check the seals while it is open. Avoid magnets and prolonged heat. About the Brand Tissot has been making watches in Switzerland since 1853, and the name on this dial reflects that: a Swiss Made watch built to an established, unfussy standard rather than a fashion cycle.
