Tissot T-Touch II 43mm – Advanced Swiss Touch Technology
The Tissot T-Touch II 43mm combines Swiss watchmaking with advanced tactile technology in a lightweight titanium sports watch designed for travel, outdoor activities and everyday adventure. Reference T047.420.44.057.00 features an analog-digital display, black tactile dial and an impressive collection of functions accessible through its touch-sensitive sapphire crystal.
Unlike a conventional quartz watch, the T-Touch II transforms its crystal into an interactive control surface. By activating the tactile system, the wearer can access functions including an altimeter, compass, thermometer, weather function, chronograph, two alarms, second time zone and perpetual calendar.
This combination of traditional analog hands and digital functionality gives the Tissot T-Touch II 43mm a distinctive identity. It remains recognisably a Swiss wristwatch while incorporating practical instruments developed for a more active lifestyle.

Lightweight Titanium Construction
One of the strongest characteristics of the Tissot T-Touch II 43mm is its titanium construction. Both the case and bracelet are made from titanium, providing strength while keeping overall weight considerably lower than might be expected from a multifunction watch of this size.
The official specifications associated with reference T047.420.44.057.00 list a case width of 42.7 mm, length of 43.3 mm, thickness of 14.6 mm and total weight of approximately 123 g. The watch also uses an antimagnetic titanium case.
Its dimensions give it substantial wrist presence, while titanium helps prevent the watch from feeling excessively heavy during extended wear.
The black dial contrasts effectively with the grey titanium construction, producing a technical aesthetic that reflects the instrument-inspired character of the T-Touch collection.
Tactile Sapphire Crystal
At the heart of the Tissot T-Touch II 43mm experience is its tactile sapphire crystal.
Rather than simply protecting the dial, the crystal forms part of the watch’s operating interface. Once the tactile system is activated, touching designated areas of the sapphire crystal provides access to the watch’s electronic functions.
Tissot equipped this reference with scratch-resistant tactile sapphire crystal with antireflective treatment, combining interactive technology with the durability expected from a premium Swiss sports watch.
This tactile interface is one of the defining features that made the T-Touch family distinctive within modern Swiss watchmaking.

ETA E48.311 Swiss Tactile Quartz Movement
Powering the Tissot T-Touch II 43mm is the ETA E48.311 Swiss tactile quartz movement.
This electronic analog-digital calibre controls both traditional timekeeping and the extensive digital functions integrated into the watch. The movement measures approximately 35 mm in diameter and uses a Renata CR2032-N battery.
An EOL — End of Life — indicator alerts the wearer when battery replacement is approaching, adding another practical feature to an already highly functional watch.
The quartz architecture is particularly appropriate for the T-Touch II because it combines precision with the electronic functionality required by the tactile display and integrated sensors.
Compass, Altimeter & Weather Functions
The Tissot T-Touch II 43mm is far more than a conventional timepiece.
Its integrated compass provides directional information directly through the watch, while the altimeter can display altitude information for outdoor activities and travel.
The meteorological function adds another layer of practical information, while the built-in thermometer provides temperature readings. Together, these functions give the T-Touch II the character of a compact wrist-mounted instrument rather than simply a sports watch.
A rotating bezel complements the compass functionality and reinforces the technical character of the design.
Chronograph, Alarms & Second Time Zone
Beyond its environmental sensors, the Tissot T-Touch II 43mm provides several useful time-related functions.
The integrated chronograph allows elapsed-time measurement, while two alarms provide additional everyday practicality. A second time-zone function makes the watch especially useful for frequent travellers, and the perpetual calendar reduces the need for regular date adjustment.
A backlight improves digital-display visibility when lighting conditions are poor.
For buyers who appreciate multifunction Swiss watches, these capabilities give the T-Touch II a very different personality from a traditional three-hand quartz model.

Sapphire Crystal & 100m Water Resistance
Despite its extensive electronic functionality, the Tissot T-Touch II 43mm maintains practical everyday durability.
The watch is water resistant to 10 bar / 100 metres / 330 feet, providing useful protection for everyday activities and suitable water exposure.
Its titanium case, tactile sapphire crystal and robust bracelet construction make it particularly well suited to owners who want a watch capable of accompanying an active lifestyle.
A Distinctive Swiss Multifunction Watch
The Tissot T-Touch II 43mm represents a particularly interesting chapter in Tissot’s development of tactile watch technology.
Its combination of a lightweight titanium case and bracelet, black analog-digital dial, ETA E48.311 Swiss quartz movement and touch-sensitive sapphire crystal gives it a technological character that remains immediately recognisable.
Compass, altimeter, weather information, thermometer, chronograph, alarms, second time zone, perpetual calendar and backlight functionality make reference T047.420.44.057.00 considerably more versatile than a conventional quartz sports watch.
For the wearer looking for Swiss Made craftsmanship combined with practical outdoor technology, the Tissot T-Touch II 43mm offers an unusual balance of watchmaking, functionality and lightweight titanium construction.
