Tissot added a new version to their Veloci T collection at Baselworld, this past March. It features a swiss quartz movement with a chronograph module. The 45mm case is 316L stainless steel with a rotating bezel, treated with PVD. The crystal is sapphire and it is water-resistant to 100 meters. The strap is black rubber with a steel clasp. An innovative design with good swiss quality, all for $550.
Tissot recently unveiled the a high-performance tactile watch for divers. The SEA-Touch by Tissot uses patented technology to ensure that this watch for divers maintains its high performance at all levels - above and below sea level. Right down to a depth of 200 meters, wearers literally have the sophisticated functionality of this high-tech diving watch at their fingertips. As well as being able to tell the time in two time zones and indicate the depth of the current dive, this timepiece integrates a digital chronograph, thermometer, alarm, perpetual calendar date, compass and divers' logbook, all activated by touch on the glass.
Diving functionality in depth
SEA-Touch fulfils all of the European Norm EN13319 stipulated criteria (divers accessories) - luminosity, shock resistance, anti-magnetism, band solidity and the integration of a time control device. This tactile watch provides a selection of important diving data. When the diver enters the water (minimum depth 1m40), the hands go directly to 9 o'clock. Later the minute hand displays the depth of the dive on the scale around the bezel. The hour hand reveals the speed the diver is moving at in meters per minute on the dial. Excellent visibility comes from highly luminescent material and an effective backlight. Patented technology by Tissot SA on the SEA-Touch ensures that the rubber-protected pushers have double protection and therefore can operate perfectly underwater.
Tissot recently unveiled (at Baselworld 2009) a new version of their square watch line, the Quadrato Valjoux. The case is made of 316L stainless steel and comes with either a stainless steel bracelet with folding buckle or a black leather strap (pictured). It is water resistant to 100 meters and features a scratchproof sapphire crystal. The "Valjoux" designation indicates an automatic movement inside ( a Valjoux 7750).

Inspired by aviators' watches, the T-Touch Expert Pilot opens the way to new heights. The dial seems to have come right out of a cockpit, while the bezel resembles a navigation compass. Simple pressure on the crown and scratch-resistant glass will immediately access its eleven functions. Sportsmen and women will particularly appreciate the altimeter, the altitude-change meter, the barometer and the countdown, which will make this timepiece a 24-hour companion for those who love thrills, both on the ground and in the air.
