Tissot T-Touch II 43mm – Advanced Swiss Tactile Technology
The Tissot T-Touch II 43mm combines Swiss watchmaking with innovative tactile technology in a distinctive multifunction sports watch. Reference T047.420.11.051.00 features a black analog-digital dial, a robust 316L stainless steel case and bracelet, and Tissot’s scratch-resistant tactile sapphire crystal.
Designed as much as an instrument as a traditional wristwatch, the Tissot T-Touch II 43mm gives the wearer access to an impressive selection of functions through its interactive crystal. Compass, weather information, altimeter, thermometer, chronograph, two alarms, second time zone, perpetual calendar and backlight functionality make this a remarkably versatile Swiss quartz watch.
Its combination of traditional hands, digital information and tactile controls gives the T-Touch II a character unlike that of a conventional sports watch. It is a compelling choice for travellers, outdoor enthusiasts and anyone who appreciates the technological side of Swiss watchmaking.

316L Stainless Steel Case & Black Dial
The black dial provides the Tissot T-Touch II 43mm with its distinctive technical appearance. Analog hands provide traditional timekeeping at a glance, while the digital display supports the watch’s extensive electronic functions.
Surrounding the dial is a substantial 316L stainless steel case with a rotating stainless steel bezel. Tissot officially specifies dimensions of 43.30 mm in length, 42.70 mm in width and 14.60 mm in thickness, making 43mm an appropriate commercial description of the watch.
The case has a 21.10 mm lug width, while the complete stainless-steel configuration weighs approximately 192 g. Its substantial construction gives the watch a strong wrist presence suited to its instrument-inspired design.
Unlike the titanium T047.420.44.057.00 we completed immediately before this model, reference T047.420.11.051.00 uses stainless steel for both the case and bracelet.
Tactile Sapphire Crystal
One of the defining characteristics of the Tissot T-Touch II 43mm is its scratch-resistant tactile sapphire crystal.
The sapphire crystal does considerably more than protect the black dial. It forms an integral part of the watch’s control interface, allowing designated functions to be selected through touch interaction with the crystal.
Tissot pioneered tactile watch technology to provide access to functions such as the compass, altimeter, weather information, alarm and chronograph without requiring an excessive number of conventional pushers or complicated menus.
This combination of sapphire-crystal durability and interactive functionality remains one of the features that gives the T-Touch family its unique identity.
Swiss Quartz Tactile Movement
At the heart of the Tissot T-Touch II 43mm is a Swiss tactile quartz movement engineered to operate both its analog time display and extensive electronic functions.
The movement associated with reference T047.420.11.051.00 is the ETA E48.311, an analog-digital quartz calibre developed for the T-Touch II generation. It incorporates conventional hours, minutes and seconds alongside world time, calendar, chronograph, alarm, altitude and temperature functionality.
Tissot lists a Renata 2032 battery, 3.00 V, together with an EOL battery end-of-life indicator.
The quartz architecture makes the Tissot T-Touch II 43mm particularly practical for a multifunction watch, combining precise everyday timekeeping with the electronic capabilities required by its tactile interface and integrated sensors.

Compass, Altimeter, Weather & Thermometer
Functionality is where the Tissot T-Touch II 43mm separates itself most clearly from a conventional quartz watch.
The integrated compass provides directional information, while the altimeter is designed to provide altitude information for outdoor activities and travelling. Tissot also incorporates its weather function and thermometer into the tactile system.
Together, these features transform the T-Touch II into a compact wrist-mounted multifunction instrument while preserving the appearance and construction of a Swiss Made watch.
The rotating bezel further reinforces the technical and outdoor-oriented character of the design.
Chronograph, Two Alarms & Second Time Zone
The Tissot T-Touch II 43mm also provides an extensive selection of time-related functions.
Its integrated chronograph allows elapsed-time measurement, while two alarms add practical everyday functionality. A second time-zone function is especially useful for travellers, while the perpetual calendar reduces the need for regular calendar correction.
Backlight functionality improves the usability of the digital display when ambient lighting is limited.
This combination makes the T-Touch II considerably more capable than a standard analog quartz watch while maintaining the physical controls and tactile interaction that define this generation.
Stainless Steel Bracelet
The stainless-steel construction continues through the bracelet of the Tissot T-Touch II 43mm.
Tissot specifies a grey stainless-steel bracelet paired with a folding clasp with push-buttons, creating a secure and appropriately substantial match for the 43mm case.
The bracelet reinforces the watch’s technical character and gives this particular reference a very different wearing experience from the lighter titanium versions of the T-Touch II.
Sapphire Crystal & 100m Water Resistance
Practical durability is another important strength of the Tissot T-Touch II 43mm.
The watch is officially rated water resistant to 10 bar / 100 metres / 330 feet, while its sapphire crystal provides strong resistance against everyday scratches.
Combined with the 316L stainless-steel construction, these specifications make the watch well suited to active everyday use.
