Tissot Visodate Silver Dial Automatic Men 39mm T1574071603100

Celebrating one of the most significant milestones in mid-century Swiss horology, the Tissot Heritage Visodate Powermatic 80 39mm T157.407.16.031.00 pays tribute to the original 1954 Visodate—the revolutionary timepiece created to celebrate the seamless integration of a calendar date function into an automatic movement. Scaled in an authentic vintage 39 mm 316L stainless steel case, this heritage dress watch pairs a clean opaline silver dial featuring the archival 1950s cursive Tissot logo with a dramatically domed scratch-resistant 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, an alligator-embossed genuine leather strap, and 50-metre water resistance, it brings retro mid-century charm to contemporary executive wardrobes.

Design & Craftsmanship

Mid-Century Heritage & The Visodate Legacy

In the 1950s, Tissot celebrated its centennial with a series of innovations, none more influential than the Visodate—a watch designed around the concept of instant date visualization on an automatic calibre. This modern reference honours that lineage with faithful details, notably the original cursive Tissot typography on the dial and a curved silhouette that echoes classic mid-century Swiss industrial design.

Curved Domed Sapphire & Opaline Silver Depth

The dial is protected by a pronounced domed sapphire crystal that produces subtle optical curvature at wide angles. Beneath the glass, the opaline silver dial provides a clean backdrop for mirror-polished, faceted Dauphine hands and applied baton hour markers that capture ambient room lighting, complemented by a discreetly framed date window at 3 o'clock.

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 for the weekend and pick it up on Monday morning fully wound and ready for wear. The patented titanium-based Nivachron™ balance spring shields the movement from electromagnetic fields emitted by modern smartphones, laptop chargers, and office tech.
