Tissot’s long watchmaking history is a deep well for inspiration, and the Sideral S Powermatic 80 harkens back to the funky fresh 1970s. These watches have regatta roots and have been infused with modern elements, which makes them bold statement pieces with the specs to boot. They are among Tissot’s most distinctive sports watches today.
Unlike the fiberglass case of its ancestors, the new Sideral S is made of stainless steel cased in forged carbon. Its 41mm length and width make for a compact wearing experience. The prominent chapter ring provides a splash of color on the dial, which also features 5-minute countdowns used to track the starting sequence of nautical races. The bezel also provides detailed markings in 5-minute increments. A screw-down crown ensures 300m of water resistance.
Inside the Sideral S is the Powermatic 80. A well-known automatic movement based on the ETA-2824, it beats at 3Hz (21,600 vph) and provides 80 hours of power reserve. It features Incabloc shock protection and has a date complication. The movement can be viewed through the transparent screw-down caseback. All this is paired with a color-matched rubber racing-style strap with quick-release capabilities.

Originally called Chs Tissot & Fils, the brand we now simply refer to as “Tissot” was founded in 1853 by a Swiss father and son duo. In the 170 years since, Tissot has continued to grow and prosper, ranking among the top 20 Swiss watch brands globally. A champion of attainable luxury, Tissot watches offer Swiss quality and movements at approachable prices, while also being a regular innovator. Notably, they were the first brand with a 24-timezone automatic (the Navigator), the first with a plastic mechanical movement (the Astrolon), and the first with both analog and digital displays (the Two Timer).
In current times, Tissot continues to offer a wide range of styles, from sport to dress to just fun, a wide range of movements, from quartz to digital to mechanical, and even a wide range of materials, including steel, gold, and carbon. With such a diverse catalog, they make watches for everyone and are a great brand to keep coming back to over the years.
