The Tissot Gentleman 38mm Automatic (T1658071104100) balances classic Swiss elegance with contemporary proportions.

Finding a Swiss timepiece that balances formal elegance with effortless daily versatility is no easy task. For years, the Tissot Gentleman collection has served as the gold standard for everyday luxury, praised for its refined aesthetics and impressive mechanical specs.

Now, with the release of the Tissot Gentleman 38mm Automatic (Ref. T1658071104100), Tissot answers the call of watch enthusiasts worldwide. By refining the case to a universally flattering 38mm diameter, this reference offers optimized wrist ergonomics while retaining the legendary Powermatic 80 movement and stunning blue dial finish.

Quick Take: The T1658071104100 features a versatile 38mm 316L stainless steel case, a deep sunray blue dial, an impressive 80-hour power reserve via the Powermatic 80 calibre, anti-magnetic Nivachron balance spring, and 100 meters of water resistance.

1. Perfectly Proportioned 38mm Ergonomics & Blue Dial

The standout feature of the Tissot T1658071104100 is its newly refined 38mm case sizing. Moving down from the traditional 40mm dimension allows the watch to sit lower and more comfortably under dress cuffs while suiting a broader range of wrist sizes.

The dial displays a captivating sunray blue finish that shifts dynamically from vivid royal blue in direct light to deep midnight blue in low light. Faceted apply hour markers and dauphine hands are meticulously polished, while a subtle crosshair motif at the center of the dial reinforces its timeless, classic aesthetic.

2. Advanced Swiss Engineering: Powermatic 80 with Nivachron

Behind the see-through sapphire case back sits the modern heart of Swiss watchmaking: the **Powermatic 80 automatic movement**. Delivering unmatched performance at its price point, key features include:

  • 80-Hour Power Reserve: Provides over three days of continuous running time, allowing you to take the watch off Friday evening and put it back on Monday morning without missing a beat.
  • Nivachron Balance Spring: An advanced titanium-based alloy hairspring that provides superior resistance to magnetic fields generated by smartphones, laptops, and everyday electronics.
  • Swiss Made Precision: Engineered with high-grade finishing and viewable through the transparent exhibition case back.
