Collection: Tissot Gentleman

The Tissot Gentleman is the brand's core everyday dress watch, built to bridge the gap between the boardroom and the weekend without demanding the buyer choose one look over the other. Rather than leaning on a specific historical reissue, the Gentleman represents Tissot's modern take on the classic three-hand dress watch, refined enough for formal occasions but built with the durability to hold up to daily wear.

Available in both 38mm and 40mm case sizes, the Gentleman is offered in quartz and Powermatic 80 automatic versions, the latter delivering up to 80 hours of power reserve alongside a Nivachron balance spring for added resistance to magnetic interference. Select models feature the Powermatic 80 Silicium movement, which pairs the extended power reserve with a silicon hairspring for even greater precision and shock resistance. Cases come in stainless steel and titanium, with clean dial colors ranging from classic black and blue to green and gray, all protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and many models include a see-through caseback showing off the automatic movement along with Tissot's quick strap-change system for easily swapping straps.

King Jewelers carries a wide range of Tissot Gentleman watches, including the Powermatic 80 Silicium in black, blue, and green dials, along with quartz and titanium versions, backed by Tissot's 2-year international warranty. Every Tissot watch purchase includes free shipping, and our team can help you compare sizes and movements in person at our Green Hills showroom in Nashville or online at kingjewelers.com.

2019: Redefining Value in an Everyday Watch
Unlike collections built around a specific vintage reissue, the Tissot Gentleman is a modern creation, first launched in 2019 with reference T927, and it made an immediate impact by redefining what buyers could expect from a watch under $1,000. The original Gentleman combined classic, Rolex Oyster Perpetual-inspired proportions with genuinely premium specs for its price: 100 meters of water resistance, sapphire crystal front and back, and Tissot's then-new Powermatic 80 automatic movement, all for an MSRP of roughly $775. That first version featured a two-tone rose gold bezel and didn't generate much buzz initially, but later that year Tissot introduced an all-steel Powermatic 80 Silicium version at a lower price point, and the Gentleman quickly became one of the most talked-about values in accessible Swiss watchmaking.

The Powermatic 80: The Movement That Makes the Gentleman Special
The Gentleman's real differentiator has always been its movement. Tissot's Powermatic 80, first developed in 2011 and put into production in 2012-2013, reworked the legendarily robust ETA 2824 architecture by slowing the balance frequency from 4Hz to 3Hz, dramatically extending the power reserve from a conventional 42 hours up to 80 hours. In its top-tier "Silicium" form, the movement also gains a silicon balance spring for superior shock and magnetic resistance, a component that places the Gentleman's movement above Tissot's own PRX and closer in spec to pricier Swatch Group sister brands like Longines.
