TISSOT T099.407.36.037.00

Immortal classic

Mechanical watches from the Swiss company TISSOT represent the T-Classic line, which combines models with a classic design. They received a gold-coloured metal case with a diameter of 42 mm and a brown calfskin strap with embossed crocodile skin. On the hand, the model is almost not felt, since it weighs only 79 grams.

The silver dial of TISSOT T099.407.36.037.00 is surrounded by a thin, laconic bezel. Strict arrows and markings, which include 10 oblong marks and a couple of numbers — “six” and “twelve”, are coated with a luminescent light-accumulating coating. The window for displaying the date of the month is located near the 6-hour mark. And another feature of the dial is the inscription Chemin des Tourelles — a reference to the name of the street where the first Swiss factory of the manufacturer was built.

Long range and beautiful appearance

The watch uses TISSOT's proprietary development — a movement with 23 jewels and a Powermatic 80.111 autoworks. Its main feature is the power reserve increased to 80 hours, therefore, the manual winding procedure will have to be performed not every day, but once every three days, or even less often.

The mechanism is additionally decorated: it has openwork lines, called Cotes du Jura. Especially for this pattern to be noticeable, a transparent back cover is provided.

Scratch resistant

The model has basic water protection indicators — up to 5 bar (that is, WR50M): it is not afraid of splashing water and calm measured swimming without diving. Also, the watch is not subject to scratches and glare, because the dial is protected by a sapphire crystal with a special anti-reflective coating.

TISSOT T099.407.36.037.00 is an upscale Swiss watch, which is worth a closer look to connoisseurs of classic design and those who tend to forget to wind up their “mechanics” regularly.
