Elegant ticks mean the Tissot Ballade has a timeless style that will only increase its appeal through the years. The smart silhouette of the timepiece and the polished finishes, leaving a satiny effect, make it the perfect watch to go from day to night, completely effortlessly. Thoughtful details, including the Clous de Paris on the bezel, which perfectly lines up with the efficient movement, and a clear, readable dial, make this watch a pleasure to wear. It’s time to have it all!
The Tissot Ballade features the Powermatic 80 movement equipped with a patented silicon balance spring. Although the collection is one of Tissot’s classic pieces, it has taken it to the next level by introducing this new technology for the first time in the brand’s history. As silicon is non-magnetic and has better temperature and shock-resistance than conventional materials, the caliber offers better chronometric precision, stability, and longevity. Precision: -4/+6 seconds per day.
Tissot has years of experience in producing high-precision and utra-reliable mechanical watches, which has earned it many prizes in the international chronometry competition. Time doesn’t change but the accuracy of its calculation gets greater with new technologies. We have gone from using hourglasses to heating the sand and producing silicon balance springs for the beating heart of the watch. The silicon properties make it more resistant and consistent, allowing for a greater precision and guaranteeing longevity, in this case introduced to an already impressive Powermatic 80 movement, which offers up to 80 hours of power reserve. Yet again, Tissot revolutionizes the watch industry in its price segment, using a technology only seen in high-end watches. -

COSC
Tissot markets COSC-certified watches, which means they are approved stopwatches. This certificate is issued by the COSC (Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute), which spends 15 days conducting a battery of extremely stringent tests on the movements to check their accuracy, anti-magnetism and resistance to impact*. *Non-contractual image

Powermatic 80
An automatic watch is powered by the energy of the person who wears it. Wrist movement enables the mechanism to run. The Powermatic 80 movement boasts 80 hours of power reserve, which is enough to continue telling time accurately even if the watch is not worn for three days. It is an innovative movement that outperforms the competition, whose movements generally provide 1.5 days of power reserve*. *Non-contractual image

Water resistance
All Tissot watch cases undergo several tests, including a water resistance check. Tissot tests the watch's ability to resist impacts and pressure, as well as the penetration of liquids, gas and dust by replicating the real-life conditions in which the watch may find itself*. *Non-contractual image

Silicium
When electronic objects emerged in the 1930s, Tissot began harnessing its expertise to help its customers prevent interference between their watch movements and the magnetic fields generated by electronics. Nevertheless, magnetic fields continued to be a preoccupation for watchmakers. With the arrival of silicon as a new material to make components in the mechanism that controls a movement, Tissot can offer far greater resistance to the magnetic fields produced by everyday objects such as mobile phones, televisions, computers, hairdryers, radios or the magnetic closures on handbags. Thus, Tissot watches became even more accurate than before*. *Non-contractual image
