Tissot Men’s 40mm Watch (T156.410.11.351.00)

Here is a Tissot dress watch built around a light 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 Silver and 40 mm wide, the case is a classic size that sits comfortably under a cuff without crowding a narrower wrist. The crown sits at three o’clock and is sized to grip without catching on a cuff. Dial and Legibility A light 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. It will hold its time within a few seconds a month without any attention from the owner. 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 It fits a wrist that wants one dependable watch for work and everything else, rather than a rotation of different pieces for different occasions. 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.
