Tissot Chemin Des Tourelles Skeleton

Items Description

The Tissot Chemin Des Tourelles Skeleton is a 39mm Swiss automatic watch that brings the Maison's 1853 heritage together with a contemporary open-worked dial, designed for collectors and everyday wearers who appreciate mechanical craftsmanship. This reference pairs a 316L stainless steel case with a see-through caseback, allowing the self-winding movement to remain the centre of attention from both the front and the back.

 

Named after the street where Tissot was founded in Le Locle, the Chemin des Tourelles line has become the brand's canvas for refined dress watch design. The Skeleton version takes that elegance one step further by exposing the inner mechanics beneath a sapphire crystal, giving the wearer a constant view of the oscillating weight, balance wheel, and gear train in motion.

 

Key Advantages of the Tissot Chemin Des Tourelles Skeleton Swiss Automatic 39mm Watch, Stainless Steel Case with Exhibition Caseback

 

1. Swiss Automatic Movement with Extended Power Reserve

At the heart of the Tissot Chemin Des Tourelles Skeleton is a Swiss-made automatic calibre that keeps time without the need for a battery. A full wind stores enough energy to run the watch for up to 80 hours, meaning it can sit unworn over a long weekend and still be running when picked up again on Monday morning.

 

• Power Reserve: Up to 80 hours of autonomy when fully wound.
• Winding: Self-winding via an oscillating weight, visible through the display caseback.
• Accuracy: Regulated to Swiss chronometer-grade standards within normal production tolerances.

 

2. Skeletonised Dial with Open-Worked Architecture

The defining feature of this reference is its skeletonised dial, which removes much of the traditional face to reveal the movement's inner workings. The bridges and mainplate have been cut away and finished with a mix of brushed and polished surfaces, creating depth and texture that changes with the light. The result is a dial that reads as both a precision instrument and a piece of decorative art.

 

• Dial: Open-worked with visible gear train and escapement.
• Hands: Rhodium-plated baton hands with Super-LumiNova coating for low-light readability.
• Crystal: Scratch-resistant sapphire with antireflective coating on both sides.

 

3. Refined 316L Stainless Steel Case and Classic Proportions

The 39mm case diameter sits comfortably in the sweet spot between classic dress watch sizing and modern presence, making it suitable for wrists from slim to medium. The 316L stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance and a bright, lasting polish. At 11.22mm thick with a 20mm lug width, the watch slides easily under a shirt cuff while maintaining a solid feel on the wrist.

 

• Case Diameter: 39mm — versatile for both professional and casual settings.
• Thickness: 11.22mm for a slim profile under tailored clothing.
• Lug Width: 20mm, compatible with a wide range of aftermarket straps.

 

4. Exhibition Caseback for Movement Viewing

Flipping the watch over reveals a second layer of horological interest. The see-through caseback, secured with screws, offers a clear view of the decorated automatic movement, including the blued screws, perlage finishing, and the branded oscillating weight. This feature is particularly appealing to enthusiasts who want to observe the mechanics without removing the watch from the wrist.

 

• Caseback: Transparent sapphire crystal with screw-down retention.
• Decoration: Perlage on the mainplate, Côtes de Genève on the bridges.
• Oscillating Weight: Open-worked design with Tissot branding.

 

5. Everyday Water Resistance and Robust Build

While the skeletonised aesthetic suggests a display piece, the Chemin Des Tourelles Skeleton is built for daily wear. The water resistance rating of 5 bar (50 metres / 165 feet) provides protection against hand washing, rain exposure, and accidental splashes. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal on both the front and caseback ensures the dial and movement remain clear and unmarred through years of regular use.

 

• Water Resistance: 5 bar (50 metres), suitable for everyday wear.
• Crystal: Sapphire front and back, resistant to scratches.
• Case Finish: Polished surfaces with a brushed bezel for visual contrast.

 

The Tissot Chemin Des Tourelles Skeleton is best suited for watch enthusiasts and professionals who want an accessible entry point into Swiss skeleton watchmaking, without sacrificing the practicality of a modern automatic movement. For those who appreciate visible mechanics and classic 39mm proportions, this timepiece offers a compelling balance of artistry and everyday reliability.
