Operation at Your Fingertips
Tissot is a prestigious Swiss watchmaker highly regarded for its commitment to innovative timekeeping. Recently, they served as the official timekeeper for the 17th Asian Games held in Incheon, South Korea, demonstrating their precision and advanced technology. The "T-Touch" exemplifies Tissot's forward-thinking approach to watchmaking.
The "T-Touch Expert Solar," set to launch on November 15, 2014, embodies this pioneering spirit with its cutting-edge watch technology.
One of its key selling points is its solar-powered operation. A mere 15 minutes of exposure to sunlight allows for a full day's charge, and a full charge provides approximately one year of continuous operation. It can also be charged by indoor lighting, and features an automatic eco-mode, meaning battery life is rarely a concern once fully charged.
Furthermore, it integrates nearly all the functions previously featured in the "T-Touch" series into this single timepiece. These include an altimeter with an accuracy of within 1 meter, a barometer with weather forecasting capabilities, a compass usable even at a 10-15° tilt, a chronograph with lap and split time functions and a logbook, a timer, regatta functions, a perpetual calendar, and dual time zone display – totaling 25 distinct functions.
Switching between these diverse functions is achieved by simply touching the watch crystal, minimizing the need for button operations. This has been the hallmark of the "T-Touch" since 1999, offering unparalleled ease of use.
The case is crafted from titanium, offering both lightness and robustness. The wearing comfort is exceptional, complemented by a modern and iconic design that is truly impressive. This watch is recommended for users seeking a multifunctional, heavy-duty, and forward-thinking timepiece.
