Tissot Heritage Visodate Automatic T019.430.16.031.01 Men’s Watch

This Tissot is the perfect example of Swiss watchmaking – be it the style or the build quality, the Tissot Heritage Visodate Automatic Men’s watch reminded me of the classical watches of the late fifties. Mind you, there is nothing ancient about it – the Tissot Heritage Visodate Automatic has built upon the original 1957 model with few additions. The neat classic lines, the sparse dial and the vintage look it portrays are a sure attraction to those who love the classics.

The Tissot Heritage Visodate T019.430.16.031.01 seemed appropriate as a gifting idea for someone with good taste and class. I thought about Jack, my tennis partner and friend. Every year we celebrate his birthday with a small party at his holiday home, a log cabin in the woods. This year too he had plans for a party, so I picked up the Tissot Heritage Visodate Automatic as a gift for him.

I chose the Tissot Heritage Visodate Automatic for Jack as it is a versatile piece, it could easily be a dress watch or a daily wear accessory to match numerous outfits. And, more importantly, it would never go out of style.

A timeless design, the watch presents clean lines, the gunmetal grey hands and hour markers perfectly contrast the off-white dial. The domed sapphire crystal complements the classic looks of this watch. There aren’t many features to clutter the dial which makes it easy to read the time. A unique feature of the Tissot Visodate is the exhibition back of the case that allows you to see the gears of the watch in motion.

Tissot has been known to make some of the best quality timepieces using top quality materials. The Tissot Heritage Visodate Men’s Watch uses the very reliable ETA movement which offers 40 hours of power reserve. Additionally, the watch can be manually wound. There is also the day and date display placed at the 3 o’clock position. The brown leather strap with a deployment clasp adds a touch of finesse to this already elegant watch.

I was quite confident that Jack would like the timepiece – it was really his style. But I was a bit concerned that the water resistance capability of this watch was limited to about 30m, so it could only take small water splashes. I knew Jack would be careful with it so it wasn’t an issue. Tissot makes some amazing watches that are reliable, classy and durable. Some of the models are quite expensive but the Tissot Heritage Visodate T019.430.16.031.01 which I got from City Watches CA is quite affordable at $ 741.
