Several lookalikes to the Tissot T- Classic Tradition Men’s watch may leave you confused… This was exactly what happened when I searched online to find a classic gents’ wrist watch. Some of the more well-known watch brands offer similar classic models which on comparison may perhaps not be as appealing. The Tissot brand name holds its own – in fact, only a Tissot can bring the prestige that goes with a genuine “Swiss Made” timepiece.
It was a good couple of hours of research that lead me to the Tissot T-Classic Tradition T063 610 16 037 00 classic gents’ wrist watch displayed at https://www.citywatches.ca/ the Canadian online watch store having a wide array of timepieces. Our colleague at the office Jeff, was leaving to join another organisation and we wanted him to have a farewell gift. We had decided on presenting him a wrist watch and I had been entrusted with the task of finding one that he would like.
Jeff and I have worked together and known each other for more than a few years and we’re also good friends. I know he would appreciate the classic dress styled Tissot T-Classic Tradition – it did give off that rich, luxurious feel of a well-made expensive watch and of course, it was a Tissot. Ordinarily, a genuine Swiss made watch does not come cheap, but the Tissot T-Classic dismisses this notion, in fact the listed price was just CDN$ 350 on the site. I thought the price tag was extremely reasonable for a genuine Swiss watch.
The Tissot T063.610.16.037.00 is a simple design with a 40 mm, round, stainless steel case polished to a gleam. A scratch resistant sapphire crystal ensures durability of this watch. Also, it is water resistant and the occasional water splashes shouldn’t pose a problem to the inner mechanics of the watch. Add to that the closed stainless steel back and you have a watertight watch case.
The Tissot T-Classic Tradition is all elegance and class; its appeal lies in the uncluttered silver white dial. The stick-like markers except at the 12 and 6 o’clock position perfectly complement the hour and minute hands. A small date window sits at the 3 o’clock position.
A padded brown leather strap with buckle clasp completes the elegant picture. Not only does the watch look good but I’m sure it would also feel good on the wrist. Jeff could wear the Tissot T-Classic for any occasion, be it a casual evening out or a suit and tie business meet. The advantage of the muted colour scheme is that the watch can be paired with any outfit. It would go just as well as an everyday watch.
With everything checking out on the site, I went ahead with my purchase of the Tissot T-Classic Tradition T063.610.16.037.00 Men’s Watch from City Watches CA.
