Introduction: A Night-Sky Dial on a Small Steel Case

The Tissot Desir Moonphase is built around its dial. It is midnight blue, it carries classic Roman numerals, and it includes a moonphase display. The case is a domed 316L stainless steel shape that Lexor Miami's product page describes as jewelry-inspired, and it measures just 29.6 mm across.

It is also an easy watch to live with. The Swiss quartz movement needs no winding, an end-of-life battery indicator tells you when the battery needs replacing, and a sapphire crystal and 50 m of water resistance make it suitable for everyday wear.

About Tissot and the Desir Collection

A Swiss watchmaker since 1853

Tissot is a Swiss watch brand founded in 1853 in Le Locle, Switzerland, and it belongs to the Swatch Group. It offers Swiss Made watches in many styles, from sport and dress models to jewelry-inspired pieces.

Where this watch fits

The Desir Moonphase sits on the classic, jewelry-inspired side of the Tissot range. Tissot's site places the model in its contemporary classics group. Instead of a large tool-watch case, it uses a small domed case, a blue dial with Roman numerals and a steel bracelet, at $495.00.

Materials and Build Quality

Domed 316L stainless steel case

316L is a stainless steel grade widely used in watchmaking. The domed shape gives the case a rounded profile that Tissot and Lexor Miami's product page present as jewelry-inspired.

Sapphire crystal with antireflective coating

The crystal is scratch-resistant sapphire. An antireflective coating on the underside helps keep the dial easier to read with less glare.

Steel bracelet with butterfly clasp

The bracelet is stainless steel and closes with a butterfly clasp that opens with push-buttons, which keeps the closure tidy and secure.

Water resistance

The watch is rated to 50 meters (5 bar / 165 ft). That covers rain and splashes. It is a dress watch, so we do not recommend swimming or showering with it.

Design: Midnight Blue, Roman Numerals and a Moon

The dial

The dial is described as midnight blue, with classic Roman numerals marking the hours and a moonphase display. Roman numerals give the watch a traditional, dressy character, while the deep blue color keeps it modern.

The case and bracelet

The domed case and steel bracelet share one silver-toned palette, which lets the blue dial stand out. At 29.6 mm, it is compact and sits close to the wrist.

Wearability

At 9.52 mm thick it is a little deeper than a flat dress watch, which comes from the domed case. If you want to judge the size for yourself, visit our Miami showroom or message us and we will help you decide.

Technology: Swiss Quartz with Moonphase

The Desir Moonphase runs on a Swiss quartz movement with three hands. Quartz watches are battery-powered and regulated by a quartz crystal, so they are simple to live with.

The moonphase is shown on the dial as a classic complication. The EOL indicator signals when the battery is nearing its end so you can replace it in time. Battery life is not listed on the product page, so we do not quote a figure. When the time comes, a qualified watchmaker or our team can advise you.

Who Should Buy the Tissot Desir Moonphase?

• Moonphase fans: a classic complication on a compact, affordable Swiss watch.
• Shoppers who like a small case: 29.6 mm suits those who prefer a delicate look.
• Gift buyers: a good fit for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations and milestones.
• Blue dial fans: midnight blue goes with silver jewelry and dark outfits.
• People who want low maintenance: quartz, sapphire and steel are easy to live with.

It may not be the right choice if you want a large case, a mechanical movement, diamond hour markers or a dive watch. For diamonds, see the Desir Diamond Moonphase, or browse all Tissot watches.
