The original Sideral, launched in 1969, featured the world's first fiberglass design, known for its lightweight yet robust construction, and was widely favored by sports enthusiasts and trendsetters. In 1971, the "Sideral S" emerged, featuring an iconic yellow rubber strap and an innovative clip system. The new release is a reinterpretation of the Sideral S.

The "Tissot Sideral" boasts a striking design with a forged carbon case and a black PVD unidirectional bezel marked with diver's and regatta scales. Forged carbon offers a lightness, innovation, and resilience comparable to fiberglass from 60 years ago. The dial features multi-colored luminescent paint and a green and red regatta countdown gauge design, evoking a retro 70s ambiance.

Equipped with the Powermatic 80 movement and Tissot's new skeleton rotor, this model offers a power reserve of up to 80 hours and water resistance to 30 bar (300m), making it a versatile watch suitable for various outdoor activities and events.

Available in three vibrant colors—yellow, red, and blue. It features a perforated rubber strap and an innovative bracelet clip system. Optional straps in green, orange, and black are also available for those who prefer a more subdued style.

With its bold and colorful design, the Tissot Sideral serves as a statement piece, allowing wearers to express their individuality and stand out. Whether in the great outdoors or everyday settings, it is the ultimate watch for those who embrace their unique style.
