| Case Tissot Gentleman 38mm T165.807.11.051.00 |
The Tissot Gentleman 40mm version was lauded for its quality, and some felt its long lugs made it wear slightly larger than expected. The new 38mm case is a "shrunken-down" yet optimized version designed for those who value discretion and balance. It is conceived as the perfect companion for a modern, active man—equally at home in a high-stakes boardroom as it is during a relaxed weekend. The beauty of the Tissot Gentleman 38mm lies in its technical harmony, where every millimeter is calculated to ensure a "pebble-like" smoothness on the wrist.

The watch features a versatile 38mm case diameter and a slim thickness of 11.53mm, resulting in a compact lug-to-lug distance of approximately 45.7mm. Crafted from durable 316L stainless steel, the case is equipped with a domed, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal that includes an anti-reflective coating for enhanced legibility. For those who appreciate the mechanics of watchmaking, the see-through exhibition case back provides a clear view of the movement, while a water resistance rating of 10 bar ensures the piece is protected up to 100 meters.The Dial: A New "Pyramidal" Texture

The most striking visual update in the 38mm series is the dial texture. Tissot has moved beyond the flat sunray finishes of the past to introduce a pyramidal sunburst finish. The dial’s architecture is defined by subtle crease lines that divide the surface into four distinct quarters, a design choice that pays homage to classic crosshair dials and adds a layer of geometric precision. This pyramidal structure interacts dynamically with light, causing each segment to reflect brightness differently and creating an understated yet sophisticated sense of depth.
Within this collection, the silver model (T165.807.11.031.00) delivers a bright, monochromatic aesthetic that stands as the most formal and traditional choice for the wearer. For those seeking maximum impact, the black version (T165.807.11.051.00) features a deep, inky finish that provides a sharp, high-contrast backdrop for the polished indexes. The blue dial (T165.807.11.041.00) offers a classic navy hue that shifts elegantly under various lighting conditions thanks to its sunray finish. Finally, the green model (T165.807.11.091.00) presents a sophisticated forest green tone, providing a contemporary and stylish twist on a timeless color palette.
The dials are complemented by faceted, nickeled appliqué indexes and sword-shaped hands. To ensure legibility in low light, Tissot has applied Super-LumiNova® to the hands and added luminous dots above each hour marker.
Movement: The Power of Nivachron™

| Powermatic 80 |
At the heart of the Gentleman 38mm is the renowned Powermatic 80 movement (ETA C07.111 base). This movement is a marvel of modern industrial watchmaking, offering an impressive 80-hour power reserve. Notably, the 38mm version utilizes the Nivachron™ balance spring. Unlike the silicon hairspring found in the 40mm "Silicium" models, Nivachron™ is a titanium-based alloy designed to be exceptionally resistant to magnetic fields, shocks, and temperature variations. This choice ensures the watch remains reliable in our increasingly digital environment, surrounded by smartphones and electronic devices.
