First founded in 1853, Swiss-based Tissot has been at the forefront of many watchmaking innovations. In their very first year, they released the first pocket watch with dual time zones. In 1930, they followed up with the first watch with magnetic-resistance. If that’s not enough, Tissot manufactured the first plastic watch (1971), the first stone watch (1985), the first mother of pearl watch (1987), and the first wooden watch (1988). That’s an impressive track record of achievements!
With each year comes a slew of new releases that shakes up Tissot’s catalog. So, what are their best offerings of 2023? Here are my top five choices, all of which are reasonably durable and come with Tissot’s two-year warranty. Let’s take a closer look!
Tissot PRX Powermatic 80

The Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 is a tonneau-style watch with a diameter of 40mm. The stainless steel case is fairly slim, at only 10.9mm thick and the lugs are set at 12mm. This allows for the attachment of a single-link stainless steel bracelet. The watch is water-resistant to 100 meters, which is safe for showering or swimming.

The sapphire crystal is scratch-resistant, with an anti-reflective coating on one side. It’s mostly flat, with a slight bevel around the edge that creates an attractive accent. A display case back is made from a similar sapphire, and gives you a good view of the Swiss automatic movement. This movement has a power reserve of up to 80 hours, enough to leave it off over a long weekend.
The blue dial has a square grid texture, and is surrounded by a narrow bezel. It has a spartan appearance, with tiny applied silver indexes at the minute marks. The 5-minute positions have larger applied indexes with lume striping, with a double-index at 12 o’clock. A small date window adorns the 3 o’clock position, and is outlined by a silver border. Other than that, there’s nothing to interrupt the textured finish of the dial. The hour and minute hands are fat, with lume stripes down the center, and the second hand is needle-shaped.
