The original 1970s Sideral was a fun time piece. Created for the day, it featured a very special case shape with very clean, clear dial layout. Almost like a dive watch. What was super innovative for its day was the use of a fibre glass case, which allowed Tissot to play with colours.
And catch up to today, thenew Sideral comes in the same basic case shape, and dial layout, but in three striking colours for the three new references. The case is now forged carbon, so it takes on the characteristic patterned black and grey instead of the colour coded fibre glass. But the colour theme continues inside the dial on the minute chapter ring, and the strap.And the bezel is black PVD with diving and regatta graduation.
Movement is the Powermatic 80 Nivachrome, which we saw in the super popular PRX Powermatic 80, visible from the open case back.
Le Locle, Switzerland. Introducing the Tissot Sideral, a bold reinterpretation of the iconic 1970s Sideral S watch. This eye-catching timepiece masterfully combines state-of-the-art materials with a vintage aesthetic that’s vibrant, sporty, and fashionable. Tissot’s rich heritage of crafting remarkable watches lives on in the Sideral, making it the perfect accessory for those who embrace a fun, adventurous lifestyle and wish to infuse a touch of retro charm into their wardrobe.
The Tissot Sideral is more than just a watch; it’s an emblematic timepiece with a rich history dating back to 1971. As a member of the Sideral family launched in 1969, the original Sideral was the world’s first fiberglass watch, featuring a lightweight yet robust design. This ground-breaking watch gained acclaim from sports enthusiasts and trendsetters alike. In 1971, the Sideral S debuted, featuring the iconic yellow rubber strap and its innovative fastening system – signature elements of the Sideral family. Initially introduced on a Sideral watch in 1969, the strap’s popularity soon led to its incorporation into the Sideral S model.
When updating the Sideral for the modern era, Tissot remained committed to preserving the watch’s heritage and spirit. The original Sideral embodied innovation, adventure, and the excitement of the unknown. To recapture these qualities, Tissot chose forged carbon for the case, a material that parallels the lightweight, innovative, and resilient nature of fiberglass 60 years ago. By merging state-of-the-art materials with the Sideral’s vintage appeal, Tissot has crafted a timeless yet forward-looking masterpiece that pays tribute to its remarkable past.
