The Tissot Stylist: A Vintage Classic Returns With Modern Flair
The Tissot Stylist from 1965 makes a remarkable comeback, preserving its vintage appeal while offering modern enhancements. For those who appreciate the understated elegance of the 60s and 70s timepieces, this watch delivers a stylish, versatile look without breaking the bank. Its slim profile, aided by a quartz movement, ensures it wears comfortably on the wrist.
The Tissot Stylist comes in a sleek cushion-shaped stainless steel case, measuring 32mm in width and just 7mm in height, ideal for those seeking a minimalist yet classic aesthetic. The satin-brushed finish on the case’s surfaces contrasts beautifully with the polished bevels, giving the watch an eye-catching refinement. It also boasts sapphire glass, a fluted crown engraved with the Tissot logo, a solid case back, and a water resistance rating of 50 meters.
Available in two striking dial options, the Stylist caters to both retro and contemporary tastes. The deep blue variant features a gradient effect, darkening towards the edges, with applied silver Roman numerals and two slim central hands—no seconds hand, as Tissot keeps it simple for a dress watch. Meanwhile, the second option offers a modern touch with a silver sunray dial, complemented by gilt indexes and hands. Both dials carry the hallmark “Tissot 1853” at the top and “Stylist” at 6 o’clock.
Inside, the watch is powered by a reliable ETA quartz movement, ensuring high precision and low maintenance, true to Tissot’s reputation. Paired with a black leather strap for the blue dial and a tan leather strap for the silver dial, each strap is stitched for added durability and finished with a steel pin buckle.
Priced at just USD 275, the Tissot Stylist offers an affordable way to enjoy vintage style and modern accuracy, making it a great addition for watch enthusiasts who seek a balance between nostalgia and functionality.
