Tissot Ballade Powermatic 80 COSC — Silver Dial, Steel Bracelet
Tissot Ballade Powermatic 80 COSC — Silver Dial, Steel Bracelet
About this watch
Design
The Ballade wears its heritage with quiet confidence. A finely fluted bezel frames a bright silver sunray dial, where applied Roman numerals and a neatly framed date add just enough formality without tipping into fuss. Brushed and polished surfaces trade the light across the 39 mm case, giving this dress watch genuine presence on the wrist.
Movement
At its heart is the Tissot Powermatic 80, a Swiss automatic movement that has earned official COSC chronometer certification — fifteen days of precision testing that only a small share of watches ever undergo. It also holds up to 80 hours of power reserve and an anti-magnetic Nivachron balance spring, so accuracy stays true even after a weekend in the drawer.
Wear & water resistance
Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment keeps the dial crisp and scratch-resistant, while 100 m of water resistance shrugs off rain, splashes and the occasional swim. The quick-release steel bracelet makes swapping to a strap the work of a moment.
Who it's for
The silver dial is the classic choice — endlessly versatile from boardroom to black tie. For the man who wants one chronometer-certified watch to do it all, this Ballade is a timeless gift for a graduation, promotion or milestone.

Questions & answers
What movement powers this watch?
It runs the Tissot Powermatic 80, a Swiss automatic (self-winding) movement that is COSC chronometer-certified for verified accuracy and offers up to 80 hours of power reserve, so it keeps running through a weekend off the wrist.
Is it accurate and resistant to magnetism?
Yes. COSC certification means the movement passed fifteen days of official Swiss precision testing, and the anti-magnetic Nivachron balance spring helps it stay reliable around everyday magnetic fields.
How water resistant is it?
It is rated to 100 metres (10 bar), which comfortably handles hand-washing, rain, splashes and swimming. It is not a diving watch, so avoid operating the crown underwater and keep it away from hot showers, saunas and steam.
What size is the case and will it fit my wrist?
The case is 39 mm in diameter and about 11 mm thick with a 20 mm lug width, a classic and versatile size that suits most wrists and slips easily under a shirt cuff.
What are the crystal and bracelet made of?
The dial is protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment, and the watch comes on a stainless steel bracelet fitted with a quick-release system for tool-free strap changes.
Is it authentic and what warranty is included?
Yes, this is a brand-new, authentic Swiss Made Tissot supplied with its box and papers and backed by a 2-year international warranty. It ships free within the US and is covered by our standard return policy.
Customer reviews
Getting a chronometer certified Swiss automatic for under a grand is amazing. The Ballade is pure class with the silver dial.
39mm is the absolute sweet spot for a dress watch. The steel bracelet is incredibly comfortable and the silicon hairspring is a great tech upgrade.
Very refined and subtle. 4 stars because the dial is almost too simple, but if you want an under-the-radar Swiss chronometer, this is it.
He was absolutely blown away. The traditional styling and the fact that it's COSC certified made it the perfect gift.
Tissot really over-delivered here. The Powermatic 80 COSC movement is incredibly accurate. The clous de Paris pattern on the bezel is beautiful.
