Tissot Désir Moonphase softens its look with a striped beige dial

Tissot’s Désir Moonphase reference T152.223.11.546.00 uses a striped beige dial to give the 29.6mm design a warmer character. Four diamond indexes punctuate the dial while a blue moonphase display anchors the lower half. The domed steel case and closely linked bracelet make the watch read more like a compact piece of jewellery than a conventional round dress watch.

Its Swiss quartz calibre displays hours, minutes, seconds and the lunar cycle, with an end-of-life indicator for the battery. The case measures 9.52mm thick and is protected by sapphire crystal with an internal anti-reflective treatment. Tissot rates the model to 50 metres, and the steel bracelet closes with a push-button butterfly clasp.
