The Swissmatic movement is a true innovation in the watch-making industry. The secret that enables Tissot to offer a model at such an attractive price lies in the automated production chain on which its components are manufactured, then assembled in modules to build a complete movement. The Swissmatic 72 movement offers 72 hours of power reserve, which is enough to tell time accurately even if the watch is not worn for three days.

A sapphire crystal gives a watch the following properties: extremely high resistance to impact and superior screen and hand readability thanks to its transparency. Because it is the strongest material after diamonds, it is used in fine timepieces for its anti-scratch prowess. Sapphire crystals can take many forms and give the watch a variety of looks: flat, domed, concave or ground.

All Tissot watch cases undergo several tests, including a water resistance check. Tissot tests the watch's ability to resist impacts and pressure, as well as the penetration of liquids, gas and dust by replicating the real-life conditions in which the watch may find itself.
