Product Information

Full details

The Tissot Chemin Des Tourelles 39mm is an ideal timepiece for professionals and watch enthusiasts seeking a versatile, elegant automatic watch that bridges the gap between formal and everyday wear. Its primary strength lies in the high-performance Powermatic 80 movement, which provides an exceptional 80-hour power reserve, though users should note that the 5-bar water resistance rating is intended for light splash protection rather than swimming or diving.

FAQs

Can I go swimming with this watch?

No. The 5 bar water resistance rating is intended for accidental splashing and light rain, not submersion in a pool or ocean.

How often does this watch need servicing?

Tissot generally recommends a professional service every 3 to 5 years to ensure the movement remains lubricated and accurate.

Does this watch have a screw-down crown?

No, this model features a standard push-pull crown.

Is the sapphire crystal prone to shattering?

While sapphire is extremely scratch-resistant, it can still shatter under a direct, high-impact blow to a hard surface.

Can I replace the bracelet with a leather strap?

Yes, the 39mm case features standard lugs, making it compatible with many aftermarket leather or rubber straps of the correct width.

Troubleshooting

The watch stopped running after a weekend on the desk

The watch has exceeded its 80-hour power reserve. Manually wind the crown clockwise about 20-30 times to restart the movement.

Date is changing at noon instead of midnight

The watch is set 12 hours out of sync. Advance the time by 12 hours so the date change aligns with the midnight cycle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Impressive 80-hour power reserve
  • Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal
  • Versatile 39mm case size suitable for various wrist types
  • Elegant sunray dial finish
  • Visible mechanical movement via exhibition case back

Cons

  • Limited to 5 bar (50 meters) water resistance
  • Not suitable for swimming or heavy water sports
  • Date complication requires manual adjustment for months shorter than 31 days

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set the time and date, pull the crown to the first position to adjust the date, and the second position to adjust the time. Ensure the crown is pushed completely back to the closed position after adjustment to maintain water resistance. Avoid exposing the watch to strong magnetic fields, as these can affect the accuracy of mechanical movements. To clean the stainless steel case and bracelet, use a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with warm water and mild soap, then wipe dry. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes. While the sapphire crystal is highly resistant to scratches, avoid hard impacts against metal or stone surfaces to prevent potential damage to the case or internal components.
