Introducing Tissot Reintroduces the Visodate for a New Generation

The Visodate holds a very meaningful place in Tissot’s history. It belongs to a chapter from the early 1950s, when the date display was beginning to move from novelty to everyday necessity, and Tissot was among the brands helping define how that transition could look on the wrist. The name itself became closely tied to clarity and ease of use, and over time, the Visodate established itself as one of the brand’s important models, reflecting a key part of its identity.

The new Tissot Visodate builds on that legacy. Rather than leaning too heavily on vintage cues, this latest version refines the collection through improved proportions, more nuanced dial execution, and the kind of mechanical package that suits daily wear.

The case is slim and restrained, with a noticeably cleaner profile than earlier iterations of the model. Its shape feels classically minded, yet the sharper detailing gives it a more contemporary presence on the wrist. The diameter is 39 mm, while the thickness comes in at 10.45 mm. It is made from stainless steel. Around the back, the watch is fitted with a see-through caseback that opens up a view of the movement inside. Water resistance is rated at 50 metres.

The dial is where much of the update becomes most apparent. Tissot has given the Visodate a domed display with greater visual depth, enhanced by an interplay of circular and vertical brushing that animates the surface under changing light. The collection is offered with a silver-toned dial, a deep blue dial, or a black dial. Depending on the version, the hands and markers shift in tone to match the overall mood of the watch, with the silver model receiving gold-coloured accents and the other two versions paired with silver-toned details. The hands are dauphine in style and coated with Super-LumiNova for improved legibility in low light. At 3 o’clock sits the date window, framed for emphasis and positioned as a direct continuation of the model’s historic identity, while an angled inner flange carries the minute track.

Inside is the Powermatic 80 calibre. It is an automatic movement operating at a frequency of 21,600 vph (3 Hz) and delivers a power reserve of 80 hours. The silver-dial version is paired with a brown leather strap embossed with a crocodile pattern. Meanwhile, the blue- and black-dial models are fitted with a stainless steel grains-of-rice bracelet.

The price is set at EUR 795, approximately AED 3,400, for the silver-dial model, while the black- and blue-dial versions are priced at EUR 875, approximately AED 3,700.
