Male watches Tissot Sideral S T145.407.97.057.02

The men's Tissot Sideral S T145.407.97.057.02 watch stands out mainly with its sporty look, unusual barrel-shaped case, the colour design of the dial and the case material used.

The Tissot Sideral S T1454079705702 model is powered by the Powermatic 80.111 automatic movement, which boasts up to an 80-hour power reserve, which is twice as high as is usual for automatic movements in this price category. It is fitted with 23 jewels and its 21,600 vibrations per hour can be observed through the transparent case back. The movement is "built" on the basis of the ETA 2824 variant. The balance spring of this movement is made of the Nivachron alloy, which is more resistant to magnetic fields and temperature changes and contributes to better watch accuracy. In addition to the time function, it is also equipped with a date display. This can be found at the 3 o'clock index. The movement also has a hacking function (stopping the seconds hand when setting the time) and the option of manual winding.

The Tissot Sideral S T145.407.97.057.02 model refers to the original version of the watch from 1971, the case of which was made of fibreglass, an innovative material for watchmaking at the time. The case of the current model is made in a combination of steel (case back, crown) and carbon. On the black dial, the grey minute scale stands out, on which there is a countdown for yacht races between the 12 and 2 indices. The case also includes a unidirectional rotating bezel with a scale for diving and yacht races. Reading the time on the watch will not be a problem even in poorer lighting conditions. Super-LumiNova luminescence covers not only the hands, but also the entire minute scale and the indices on the bezel. An interesting feature is the use of the same Tissot logo on the left side as on the original model from the 1970s.

The black-grey dial is protected by a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, which is highly resistant to scratches. Thanks to water resistance up to 300 metres (10 ATM), it is not necessary to take the watch off your wrist even when swimming, or for example snorkelling and diving. The high water resistance is additionally supported by a screw-down crown and a threaded case back.

The package also includes an additional black rubber strap.

The maximum possible wrist circumference is approx. 22-23 cm.
