Overview
The Tissot Ballade 40mm Blue Dial combines timeless Swiss elegance with modern everyday practicality in a beautifully balanced 40 mm design. Its deep blue dial, polished stainless-steel construction and traditional decorative details create a sophisticated watch that can transition effortlessly from professional settings to evening occasions and relaxed everyday wear.
The Ballade collection is distinguished by its refined approach to classic watchmaking. A traditional guilloché-inspired dial with sunbeam rays adds visual depth, while the fluted bezel introduces an elegant detail associated with traditional watch design. On this blue-dial reference, these elements interact beautifully with changing light, allowing the dial to reveal different shades and reflections throughout the day.
At the heart of the Tissot Ballade 40mm Blue Dial is a precise Swiss Quartz three-hand movement. It offers reliable timekeeping, a practical date display and an EOL battery indicator, making the watch particularly convenient for everyday ownership.
The dial is protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating on the underside. Combined with 100 metres of water resistance, a stainless-steel bracelet and slim 8.25 mm case profile, the Ballade offers considerably more versatility than a conventional dress watch.
The result is an elegant Swiss Made timepiece for someone who appreciates traditional styling but still wants the durability and convenience expected from a contemporary everyday watch.

Timeless Ballade Design
The Ballade collection demonstrates how traditional Swiss watchmaking aesthetics can remain relevant without becoming overly conservative.
Instead of relying on oversized proportions or complicated visual elements, the design focuses on symmetry, balance and carefully executed details.
The Tissot Ballade 40mm Blue Dial uses a classic round case measuring 40 mm across, creating a versatile size that provides enough presence for contemporary tastes while remaining refined enough for formal environments.
One of its defining details is the fluted stainless-steel bezel. This decorative element adds texture around the dial and reinforces the more traditional character of the watch.
At the same time, the clean stainless-steel construction prevents the design from feeling excessively ornate.
The result is a watch that can sit naturally beneath a shirt cuff during the working day while still offering enough visual character to stand on its own during more relaxed occasions.
Deep Blue Guilloché-Inspired Dial
The deep blue dial is the visual centrepiece of this reference.
Tissot describes the Ballade design as featuring a traditional guilloché dial with sunbeam rays, creating depth as light moves across its surface.
This effect works especially well with blue.
Under softer lighting, the dial can appear deeper and more restrained. In brighter conditions, the decorative pattern becomes more visible and different shades of blue begin to emerge.
The Tissot Ballade 40mm Blue Dial therefore offers considerably more visual interest than a conventional flat-colour dial without compromising the clean and sophisticated personality of the watch.
Applied indexes provide clear hour indication, while Tissot applies Super-LumiNova® to the hands to improve visibility when ambient light is reduced.
A practical date display adds functionality while maintaining the balanced appearance of the dial.
Swiss Quartz Precision
Inside the Tissot Ballade 40mm Blue Dial is a Swiss Quartz three-hand movement designed to provide excellent accuracy and straightforward ownership.
Quartz technology is particularly suitable for someone who wants a dependable Swiss watch without the winding requirements associated with a mechanical movement.
The watch can be left unworn and picked up again without requiring the regular attention that an automatic timepiece may need.
Tissot also equips the movement with an EOL – End of Life battery indicator and date function. The official specification lists a Renata 371 battery operating at 1.55 volts.
The EOL function provides advance notice when the battery is approaching replacement, making maintenance easier to plan.
For someone who values precision, convenience and elegant styling, the Tissot Ballade 40mm Blue Dial offers an excellent balance.

Refined 40mm Stainless Steel Case
The watch features a 40 mm 316L stainless-steel case, providing balanced proportions suitable for a wide variety of wrist sizes.
The official dimensions are:
- 40 mm length
- 40 mm width
- 8.25 mm thickness
- 20 mm lug width
- 120 g total weight
The relatively slim 8.25 mm profile is particularly important to the Ballade’s character.
Rather than sitting prominently above the wrist like a sports chronograph, the Tissot Ballade 40mm Blue Dial remains elegant and comfortable, allowing it to slide naturally beneath a shirt cuff.
The stainless-steel case also gives the watch a neutral foundation that works beautifully with the deep blue dial.
This combination makes the watch particularly easy to style with navy, grey, black, white and other classic wardrobe colours.
Sapphire Crystal with Anti-Reflective Coating
Tissot protects the dial with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal featuring an anti-reflective coating on the underside.
Sapphire is highly resistant to everyday scratching and helps preserve the appearance of the watch during regular use.
The anti-reflective treatment is especially valuable on the detailed blue dial because it reduces unwanted glare and allows the guilloché-inspired pattern to remain more visible under changing lighting conditions.
This combination gives the Tissot Ballade 40mm Blue Dial the durability expected from a modern Swiss watch without compromising the clarity and elegance of its dial.
Stainless Steel Quick-Release Bracelet
This reference is fitted with a stainless-steel bracelet that complements the case and allows the blue dial to remain the dominant visual element.
Tissot also incorporates an interchangeable quick-release bracelet system, allowing the bracelet to be removed more conveniently without conventional watchmaking tools.
This significantly increases the versatility of the watch.
The original stainless-steel bracelet gives the Tissot Ballade 40mm Blue Dial a polished contemporary appearance suitable for everyday wear.
A compatible leather or alternative strap could create a different personality for more formal or relaxed occasions.
The quick-release system therefore makes it possible to adapt the Ballade without changing the fundamental character of the watch.
100m Water Resistance
Despite its refined appearance, the Ballade offers 10 bar / 100 metres / 330 feet of water resistance.
This is an important practical advantage over many conventional dress watches.
The Tissot Ballade 40mm Blue Dial can handle normal everyday exposure to water and recreational swimming, making it far easier to wear regularly without constantly treating it as a delicate formal timepiece.
Combined with the sapphire crystal, stainless-steel construction and dependable Swiss Quartz movement, the 100 m rating reinforces the Ballade’s position as a genuine everyday Swiss watch.
Elegant From Day to Night
Versatility is one of the strongest reasons to choose this Ballade.
During the working day, the blue dial and slim stainless-steel case provide a polished professional appearance.
For an evening occasion, the fluted bezel and decorative dial introduce enough refinement to work naturally with more formal clothing.
At weekends, the stainless-steel bracelet and rich blue colour allow the watch to pair easily with smart-casual outfits.
The Tissot Ballade 40mm Blue Dial therefore occupies an ideal position between a traditional dress watch and a contemporary everyday timepiece.
Swiss Quartz precision makes ownership simple, sapphire crystal adds durability and 100 m water resistance provides useful everyday confidence.
For someone looking for one elegant Swiss watch capable of covering multiple occasions, the Ballade is an exceptionally versatile choice.
