The round 42 mm case is crafted from durable 316L stainless steel, giving the watch a refined silver-tone appearance that contrasts beautifully with the deep black dial. Measuring only 8.05 mm in thickness, the case maintains a relatively slim profile despite its contemporary 42 mm diameter, allowing it to sit comfortably beneath a shirt cuff.

Combined with the polished hands and minimalist layout, the result is highly legible while retaining the sophisticated character expected from a traditional Swiss dress watch.

Completing the design is an elegant black leather strap crafted from alligator-style grained cowhide with a synthetic backing. The strap closes with a traditional buckle and features Tissot’s interchangeable quick-release system, allowing compatible straps to be changed easily when a different look is desired.

With 5 bar water resistance, equivalent to 50 metres / 165 feet, the watch also provides practical protection against the minor water exposure encountered during normal everyday use.
