Tissot Ballade Powermatic 80 COSC — Green Dial, Steel Bracelet
The watch
Built around a green dial, the Tissot Ballade Powermatic 80 COSC pairs a 39 mm case with a Powermatic 80 automatic movement. Expect 100 m / 10 bar water resistance and a sapphire crystal. On the ChronoSeasons dial it sits at Hour II — Chronometer COSC, part of the Boardroom season — and suits business days where precision matters.
The Ballade wears its heritage with quiet confidence. A finely fluted bezel frames a rich green 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.
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.
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.
The green dial gives this Ballade a quietly distinctive edge — a chronometer-certified dress watch for the man who appreciates something a little less expected, and a memorable gift for a graduation, promotion or milestone.
New, boxed and warrantied — ships within the US.
Good to know
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.
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.
The case measures 39 mm — a versatile size that suits most wrists (roughly 15.5-19 cm / 6.1-7.5 in). Our watch size guide (/pages/watch-size-guide) explains how to measure your wrist.
It has a green dial, under a sapphire crystal.
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.
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.
On the ChronoSeasons dial it sits at Hour II — Chronometer COSC, part of the Boardroom season, and suits business days where certified precision matters.
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.

Owners say
Most of my collection is mechanical motorsport chronographs, so this 39mm dressier automatic was a change of pace. Love the 80-hour reserve and sapphire crystal. Resizing the bracelet for my wrist took 15-20 minutes with stubborn pins, but it wears great now.
Appreciate the feedback, Zachary! Glad you got the bracelet dialed in and are enjoying the Powermatic 80 COSC.
Coming from military field watches and aviation chronographs, I appreciate the COSC certification on this 39mm Ballade. It keeps time within +1 second a day on my wrist. The automatic rotor has a slight audible whir in a dead-quiet room, which is normal for this movement.
Thanks for the review, Brent! Glad that COSC precision is delivering for you.
Spot-on COSC timekeeping and fast shipping. Fits my 7-inch wrist right after sizing.
Wore this to three property closings this week. The 39mm case slips smoothly under a dress shirt cuff on my wrist, and the deep green dial with the fluted bezel has a refined, traditional presence.
I usually wear pilot chronographs and dual-time GMTs, but wanted a classic 39mm three-hander with real chronometer pedigree. The Powermatic 80 COSC movement has been rock steady over two weeks in Kirkland, and taking it off Friday night to find it still ticking Monday morning is great.
The 39mm case and green dial look sharp on the stock stainless bracelet, and the quick-release spring bars make swapping onto a brown leather strap super fast. Sizing the steel bracelet for my wrist took 15-20 minutes with a couple stubborn pins.
Runs within a second a day. Green dial looks incredible on my wrist.
Bought the green-dial Ballade COSC for my husband for our tenth anniversary. He is super picky about mechanical watches and accuracy, so the COSC chronometer rating and 80-hour reserve made him light up. He wears it to work every day.
