Tissot Le Locle Automatic 29mm — Silver Dial, Stainless Steel Bracelet
The watch
The Tissot Le Locle Automatic 29mm is a 29mm dress watch with a silver dial, powered by an automatic movement. Expect 30m / 3 ATM water resistance and a sapphire crystal. It belongs to Hour I, Minimalist Dress, in our Boardroom season: a natural choice for days that start in a meeting room and end at dinner.
The Tissot Le Locle Automatic 29mm distills generations of Swiss watchmaking into a refined ladies' dress watch — this one all polished steel and clean lines.
A clean silvered dial with blue Roman numerals and a date window carries the classic Le Locle signature. Everything sits in polished stainless steel, from the slim case to the bracelet and its butterfly clasp.
Under the caseback beats a Swiss automatic movement, wound by the motion of your wrist and good for around 48 hours when set aside. A patented Nivachron balance spring shrugs off the everyday magnetism of phones and laptops, and the see-through caseback reveals the rotor at work.
At 29mm across and under 9mm thick, the polished steel case sits lightly and slips under a cuff. Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal guards the dial, while 30 metres (3 ATM) of water resistance handles splashes and rain — though not swimming or the shower.
Named after Tissot's home town in the Swiss Jura, the Le Locle is a dress watch first. For anyone who wants one clean, classic Swiss automatic that works with everything, this understated 29mm in steel is hard to beat.
New, boxed and warrantied — ships within the US.
Good to know
It runs on a Swiss automatic movement. It winds itself from the motion of your wrist, so there is no battery to replace.
It is rated to 30 metres (3 ATM), which covers splashes, rain and handwashing. It is not made for swimming, showering or diving. Keep the crown pushed fully in and avoid hot water, which can stress the seals.
The case measures 29mm — a compact size that suits smaller wrists (roughly 14-16 cm / 5.5-6.3 in) and slips easily under a cuff. Our watch size guide (/pages/watch-size-guide) explains how to measure your wrist.
No battery. It is a self-winding Swiss automatic that winds from the motion of your wrist. Worn regularly it keeps running; set aside, it holds about 48 hours before stopping. Give the crown a few gentle turns to start it.
The silver dial sits under scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, the hard glass used on fine watches. The polished stainless steel bracelet is solid and closes with a secure butterfly clasp made for daily wear.
Yes. This is an authentic Tissot, Swiss made and part of the Swatch Group, supplied brand-new and boxed with its papers. Every piece meets Swiss Made standards.
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.
It ships brand-new in its original box with a 2-year international warranty. It ships within the US, with 30-day returns if the fit is not right.
From the journal
Owners say
Bought this for my wife's birthday. She adores the silver textured dial and wears it every day to the office. Knocked off one star only because the butterfly clasp doesn't have micro-adjust holes, so getting the exact fit for her wrist on warm afternoons took a couple tries with the half-links.
Thirty-fifth wedding anniversary gift for my wife. She loves the weight of the stainless bracelet and how the silver dial catches the sun on her morning walks. Shipped fast and well packed.
Picked this up for my fiancee to wear on our wedding morning next month. Being a mechanical engineer, I wanted to get her an automatic movement rather than a battery quartz, and she was floored by the exhibition back and how dainty the 29mm case looks.
My wife hinted that she wanted a classic stainless watch she could wear to client dinners and charity events. The 29mm Le Locle looks refined on her wrist, and the silver dial detailing is very crisp up close.
Bought this for my daughter when she finished her residency. She wanted a real Swiss automatic small enough to wear in the clinic, and the 29mm silver dial was a huge hit when she unwrapped it.
Ordered this as a Christmas-in-September surprise before our trip to New Orleans. My wife usually wears simple gold bangles, and this 29mm steel Tissot pairs right alongside them without overwhelming her wrist. Having the jeweler take out four links took five minutes.
Got this for my wife to match my 39mm Le Locle. The silver dial and fine link bracelet look great on her wrist and she wears it to work daily. Only small gripe is the tiny crown is a bit stiff to push in and set with larger fingers.
It is surprisingly hard to find a true mechanical watch under 30mm that isn't quartz. This 29mm Le Locle fits my wrist wonderfully, the steel bracelet feels silky smooth all day at the design studio, and the silver dial has a lovely subtle shimmer.
Surprised my wife with this for our twelfth anniversary. She has petite wrists so the 29mm stainless case fits her like a glove, and the textured silver dial with little diamond markers catches the restaurant lighting beautifully.
Bought this 29mm Le Locle for my wife's birthday because she was tired of replacing dead quartz batteries in her good watches. It looks delicate and proportioned on her wrist, and she loves watching the automatic rotor spin through the back.
