Hands On Review: Tissot Chemin Des Tourelles - When small details make the big difference

With the Chemin des Tourelles, Tissot has gone back to its roots to focus on the strengths that have taken them to where they are today: reliability, precision and an aesthetic that stands the test of time. The result of this “reset” approach is an iconic timepiece that sheds all the complexities of modern-day watches and focuses on what it does best: tell time reliably, and legibly.

That azurite blue dial with maroon strap is so eye catching! Those dauphine style minute marks and sharp pointed hour hands is a nice combo!

[@balesjo]

I love the 39mm with blue dial. It's now at the top of my wish list to add to my current collection which includes a PRX Powermatic, a Le Locle, and an older watch I was presented with when I retired.

[@LesAmbassadeurs-Watches]

yes, i really think the demand for "smaller" watches has increased. Feel like Tissot made a very great decision to launch this timepiece in 42 / 39 / 34mm to give the wearer some option to choose.

[@albertsylvester2981]

AWESOME WATCH LOOKS GOOD

[@heywillwong]

Yes would love to see a review of the 39mm silver dial! Might be my next watch if I can find a place to try it on.

[@juancarlosmendoza4587]

Just bought it... its a killer... perfect budget dress watch

[@adonistopofmen2571]

Great watch ...

[@koolkvd]

Can you do a video of the champagne dial please

[@MrKanjidude]

Beautiful. Too big for me, and I prefer to have the date at 3 o'clock, but I like the minimalist, dressy look. I hope Tissot will provide more elegant timepieces in modest sizes, 35-38 mm. (There are already enough huge diver/sports watches on the market.)

[@LesAmbassadeurs-Watches]

this timepiece will be available also in 34mm / 39 mm and you should give this one a try because the design is far away from a divers / sport watch. I think despite the naming of the model on the dial, everything is very well organized and nothing seems disturbing. Try it on your wrist and you will see what i mean ;)

[@mehtabhussain9237]

Purchased blue dial tissot elegant and looks awesome

[@LesAmbassadeurs-Watches]

Congratulations! Great choice - what was your experience so far? :)

[@meow.avocadoandhishappylif3848]

So beautiful blue I have ever seen.❤

[@LesAmbassadeurs-Watches]

Indeed, just looks calm like the dark ocean at night when the moonlight brightens it up 🌊

[@EdVanMeyer]

I like the 42mm case size and the vivid blue dial - a real favourite of mine. All being part of the Swatch group of which Longines is also a part, I think this benefits the Tissot brand, like the Longines it has great design and wearability. To build a 42mm size automatic watch at a reasonable price is a good selling point along with attractive design.

[@LesAmbassadeurs-Watches]

Very good point! For sure being part of such an amazing group helps you to learn from your members and exchange experiences. As you said, what Longines and Tissot offer is just incredible good for an incredible fair price.

[@jps5557]

Can you change leather strap to genuine Tissot stainless steel one?

[@Don-yf6yo]

I have a Tissot watch and am a fan of the brand. This watch is stunning and only wish that it came with a quartz option. I don't want to deal with the high maintenance nature of automatic watches. A quartz option also brings down the price point which would entice many more customers.

[@LesAmbassadeurs-Watches]

I get your point of view very well and this is for sure one of the reasons still many people choose quartz watches. Have a look at these Tissot Quartz watches: www.lesambassadeurs.ch/ch_de/t-classic-t143-410-16-041-00 www.lesambassadeurs.ch/ch_de/t-classic-t063-409-16-058-00 www.lesambassadeurs.ch/ch_de/heritage-t118-410-11-277-00 Let me know if you have any questions :)

[@pavolvasko3166]

Nice video, do you perhaps have the 34mm Variant as well? Could you do a Video on that?

[@LesAmbassadeurs-Watches]

we had receied only this one but the style and design is literally the same as for the 42mm and 39mm. If you are unsure about the size, try it on your wrist or take a similar one as a benchmark for the size. If you have any questions, let me know at any time.

[@DiegoSanchez-ue7st]

Hi. How can I adjust the bracelet to my own wrist?

[@herrrotkappchen7816]

Nice, ellegant watch and nice price. Only the waterproof could be better but this is the elegant watch for special occasions, not for swimming or kayaking. What about the precision of the mechanizm? What is your experience?

[@LesAmbassadeurs-Watches]

As you said, since this is more an elegant watch rather than a diving watch, the waterdepth in my opinion is more than enough. Regarding the precision, Tissot states that all the non-COSC certified watches have an maximum tolerance of -10/+30 seconds per day - but my experience was, that usually the accuracy was much better than the mentioned tolerance (around -5 / +10 seconds per day).

[@lupodisol]

The Tissot Chemin Des Tourelles is beautiful with a caveat: It's too large; 37, 38, 39mm would be better sizes. Remedy: Tissot should make the Tissot Chemin Des Tourelles in a variety of sizes so the buyer is able to decide whether the watch fits his or her wrist. Last: The price for this piece is excellent.

[@LesAmbassadeurs-Watches]

Hello Raoul, Good news: This watch is also available in 39mm -> www.lesambassadeurs.ch/ch_de/t-classic-t139-807-16-041-00

[@Goxilla]

Will there be other dials and leatherstraps available in the near future?

[@LesAmbassadeurs-Watches]

Are you expecting a certain color of the dial and a certain strap? There are already some variations available...

[@Goxilla]

Yea I´ve seen them. They don´t really speak to me, the blue dial with the brown leather strap looks the best so far. I think there´s still some upside. I was hoping Tissot might release more dials like they did with the PRX @@LesAmbassadeurs-Watches

[@enricodibiase7448]

does the crown screw down to lock

[@LesAmbassadeurs-Watches]

no, it is a "regular" push in crown.

[@alanmoser4409]

where can I buy this watch?

[@LesAmbassadeurs-Watches]

Hello Alan, here we go: both sizes :) www.lesambassadeurs.ch/ch_de/t-classic-t139-807-16-041-00 www.lesambassadeurs.ch/ch_de/t-classic-t139-407-16-041-00

[@justinlangley9522]

if only the 39mm came with the Green Dial Variant! would buy it instantly . 42mm for this kind of watch is too big IMO.

[@LesAmbassadeurs-Watches]

Could happen since the Chemin Des Tourelles is part of the core collection. You never know :)

[@wintermute8315]

Nice watch, but too much text on the dial. Ditch the powermatic line, and split chemin des tourelles over two lines.

[@john-carlosynostroza]

I don't know if they have to ditch the Powermatic 80 per se but you are right on with regard to the spacing. It just looks odd and very distracting. Stuff like this does bother me and General on watches because it doesn't cars as well when they put like turbo or how many liters the engine is or special edition this or that. Seems to degrade the product somewhat in my opinion

[@ahha6304]

and also the CDT released Powermatic 80 with COSC certified version , so I don't think they will ditched Powermatic soon

[@user-bw2ui8pv2c]

Ditch the tissot logo. and split chemin des tourelles.😂😂😂

[@Brian-of4iw]

Why use ETA C07 111 moment ? plastics material.

[@LesAmbassadeurs-Watches]

You mean synthetic? :) Only the Escapement is synthetic and to be honest, never heard that users of these movements faced more problems than the ones with "regular" escpamenet.

[@Brian-of4iw]

escape wheel is not steel, many watch co. chase outstanding, not tissot.

[@LesAmbassadeurs-Watches]

@@Brian-of4iw I get it, i would just call it an disadvantage if the material of these parts has a negative impact which is not the case here. But at the end, it`s all a question of preferences :)

[@Brian-of4iw]

I am so disappoint find out the true next day, after I bought 2 watchs at once, The deep blue & deep green.

[@LesAmbassadeurs-Watches]

@@Brian-of4iw No reason to be worried - the watches will work the same as if it had the "usual" material :) Enjoy your watches & make the best out of it.

[@muhammadbeg926]

Name of the hands of the chemin des tourelles

[@LesAmbassadeurs-Watches]

They are called "Alpha Hands" :)

[@heinzmiesmann3570]

Nice simple watch ... but nevertheless: it's a swatch, even if you call it Tissot.

[@LesAmbassadeurs-Watches]

Why would you call this a swatch? :)

[@shaunhuxley3275]

Avoid unless you want plastic bridges

[@tuan7522]

What do you mean by plastic bridges, sorry im new to this

[@shaunhuxley3275]

It's very unusual to have movement parts made of plastic bit the powermatic 80 does.

[@tuan7522]

@@shaunhuxley3275 that is understandable considering the price

[@shaunhuxley3275]

@Tuấn I agree in principle but it raises the question of whether the watch is "disposable" or viable

[@tuan7522]

@@shaunhuxley3275 what do you think about the h10 movement from Hamilton?

[@nicolanocera3550]

Too bad there is no size of 36mm.

[@LesAmbassadeurs-Watches]

maybe one day? you never know ☺

[@jojag5]

I think the Gentleman looks better tbh.

[@LesAmbassadeurs-Watches]

Personally i think you can`t compare these since the gentlemen is more edgy and aims for a more modern sporty vibe - while the Chemin des Tourelles is smooth, subtle and aims for a more vintage look :)

What is the number 8 for in the white box , is that for date ?

Exactly, it is the date indication :)
