Tissot Visodate Black Dial Automatic Men 39mm T1574071105100

Celebrating one of the most significant design milestones in mid-century Swiss horology, the Tissot Heritage Visodate Powermatic 80 39mm T157.407.11.051.00 pays tribute to the historic 1954 Visodate—the pioneering timepiece created to celebrate the seamless integration of an instantaneous calendar date window into an automatic movement. Scaled in an authentic vintage-inspired 39 mm 316L stainless steel case paired with a solid steel bracelet, this heritage dress watch features a deep gloss-black dial carrying the archival 1950s cursive Tissot emblem, a dramatically curved domed sapphire crystal, faceted Dauphine hands, an exhibition case back, and the Swiss Powermatic 80 automatic calibre equipped with an anti-magnetic Nivachron™ hairspring. Delivering an autonomous 80-hour power reserve, 50-metre water resistance, and classic mid-century lines, it offers versatile Swiss craftsmanship for both formal boardroom tailoring and casual evening wear.

Design & Craftsmanship

Mid-Century Innovation & The Visodate Legacy

In the 1950s, Tissot introduced the original Visodate to celebrate its centennial by integrating an automatic date mechanism—a major technical achievement at the time. This modern execution preserves the design language of the era, showcasing downward-curved lugs, a stepped bezel, and the vintage cursive Tissot logo that links the timepiece directly to its Le Locle heritage.

Deep Black Dial & Domed Sapphire Curvature

The dial is protected by a pronounced domed scratch-resistant sapphire crystal that creates subtle optical distortion around the periphery, accentuating its vintage character. Beneath the glass, the deep black dial provides high contrast for the mirror-polished Dauphine hands and faceted baton markers, catching ambient light from every angle.

Powermatic 80 Engine with Nivachron™ Resilience

Visible through the exhibition case back, the Swiss-made Powermatic 80 calibre runs for more than three full days without winding, allowing you to set the watch aside on Friday and pick it up on Monday morning fully wound and ready for the week. Its patented Nivachron™ balance spring shields the escapement against electromagnetic interference produced by laptops, smartphones, and office equipment.
