Tissot Ballade COSC with ice-blue dial and fluted bezel

The contemporary Ballade draws attention to its finely fluted bezel, which frames an ice-blue sunburst dial with Roman numerals and a conventional date display at three. Its 39 mm steel case balances dress-watch detailing with everyday proportions.

The automatic Powermatic 80 movement is COSC chronometer certified, providing a tested accuracy designation rather than simply a marketing claim. Tissot gives the calibre an 80-hour power reserve and fits the watch to a quick-release steel bracelet.

The contrast between the radial dial finish and sharply cut bezel gives this reference much of its character. It makes an interesting alternative to the cleaner Gentleman without moving into overtly sporty styling.
