Sharp office daily
Worn it for two weeks straight to the office. The fine link bracelet drapes nicely on my wrist without pulling arm hair, and the black hands against the silver dial are easy to read at a glance.
The watch
The Tissot Le Locle 39.3mm is a 39.3mm dress watch with a silver dial, powered by a Powermatic 80 automatic movement. Expect 30 m water resistance and a sapphire crystal. We place it at Hour I (Minimalist Dress) of the Boardroom season, for client meetings, weddings and evenings that call for a jacket.
Named after the Swiss town where Tissot was founded in 1853, the Le Locle Powermatic 80 distils generations of Jura watchmaking into a poised everyday dress watch.
A polished 39.3mm stainless steel case frames a silver dial marked with elegant Roman numerals and a delicate guilloche centre, finished with a slim date window and the traditional Le Locle signature.
Inside beats the Powermatic 80 automatic, a self-winding Swiss movement that stores up to 80 hours of power reserve, so it keeps time through a weekend off the wrist. An exhibition caseback reveals it in motion.
The stainless steel bracelet and butterfly clasp sit comfortably day to day, while 30 metre (3 ATM) water resistance shrugs off rain and hand-washing. Sapphire crystal guards the dial against scratches.
Ideal for the man who wants one refined automatic that moves from the office to a dinner jacket without missing a beat.
New, boxed and warrantied — ships within the US.
Good to know
It is a self-winding Swiss automatic. The Powermatic 80 movement winds from the motion of your wrist and holds up to 80 hours of power reserve, so it keeps running for about three days when set aside.
It is water resistant to 30 metres (3 ATM), which covers rain and hand-washing. As a dress watch it should not be worn for showering, swimming or diving.
The case measures 39.3mm — 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 silver dial, under a sapphire crystal.
Yes, the dial is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and an exhibition caseback shows the automatic movement inside.
On the ChronoSeasons dial it sits at Hour I — Minimalist Dress, part of the Boardroom season, and suits client meetings, weddings and evenings that call for a jacket.

Owners say

I needed a dedicated court and deposition watch that wouldn't hang up on tight dress shirt cuffs. At 39.3mm with a slim profile, this Le Locle tucks away neatly and looks traditional with a charcoal or navy suit. The 80-hour reserve easily survives Saturday and Sunday.
Gave this to my son when he passed the bar exam last month. Wanted him to have a proper Swiss automatic for his first courtroom appearances, and the all-steel 39.3mm Le Locle hit the exact right note. He was thrilled with the see-through caseback.
Great everyday dress watch for client walkthroughs and dinner. The waffle-style center texture on the silver dial looks much sharper in person than in product renders, and it feels light on my wrist.
After decades of wearing busy pilot chronographs and slide-rule bezels in the Air Force, I wanted a clean three-hand automatic for dressier occasions. The leaf hands and Roman indices against the clous de Paris silver dial are crisp, and the exhibition back shows off the engraved rotor.
Thank you for your service, Troy, and for sharing your thoughts on the Le Locle! That engraved caseback is one of our favorite details on this reference.
Was hesitant about how a 39.3mm dress watch would proportion on my wrist when ordering from photos alone. The narrow bezel gives the textured silver dial plenty of visual spread, and the solid stainless bracelet came with enough links to fit comfortably right out of the box.
Glad to hear the 39.3mm case proportions worked so well on your wrist, Tom! Thanks for flying with ChronoSeasons.
