Tissot Gentleman watches

The Tissot Gentleman is the Swiss brand's three-hand watch with date in a 40 mm round steel case, with a polished bezel, a sunray-brushed dial, faceted applied markers and dauphine hands with Super-LumiNova. Tissot presented the automatic Gentleman Powermatic 80 Silicium in 2019. The steel versions come on a three-link bracelet or a leather strap and are water resistant to 100 m.

The automatic models, references beginning T127.407, run on the Powermatic 80, an upgraded ETA 2824 with an 80-hour power reserve and a silicon balance spring that improves its resistance to magnetism. A display back shows the rotor, engraved with Tissot's Waves of Time decoration. Tissot gives the steel automatic as 11.5 mm thick with a 21 mm lug width. The quartz Gentleman (T127.410) keeps the 40 mm case and 21 mm strap width but is far slimmer at 8.5 mm, and it is also made in titanium with a blue or grey dial.

The T927 references are the Gentleman with a bezel made entirely of 18k gold, red or yellow, on the steel case. Tissot gives the T927.407.46.051.00 as 10.6 mm thick, with a 20 mm lug width and 50 m of water resistance, so it is slimmer, takes a narrower strap and is rated shallower than the all-steel automatic. Cream and brown dials appear alongside black, silver, blue and grey.

Two outliers carry the Gentleman name. The Ginza edition of the blue-dial steel automatic (T127.407.11.041.00TYO) is limited to 30 pieces. The Gentleman Swissmatic T098.407.26.052.00 stands apart: a larger 44 mm steel case, 12.5 mm thick, with a black dial.
