The new Tissot Sideral is a bold reinterpretation of the iconic 1970s Sideral S watch.
As a member of the Sideral family launched in 1969, the original Sideral was the world’s first fiberglass watch, featuring a lightweight yet robust design.
In 1971, the Sideral S debuted, featuring the iconic yellow rubber strap and its innovative fastening system – signature elements of the Sideral family. Initially introduced on a Sideral watch in 1969, the strap’s popularity soon led to its incorporation into the Sideral S model.
To recapture these qualities in the modern incarnation, Tissot chose forged carbon for the case, a material that parallels the lightweight, innovative, and resilient nature of fiberglass 60 years ago. Measuring 41mm in diameter, the cushion-shaped tapered case is fitted with a see-through caseback and a domed scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with antireflective coating.
The Tissot Sideral now comes in three striking colours – Yellow, Red, and Blue – and features the distinct perforated rubber strap and innovative bracelet fastening system. Tissot is also offering green, orange, and black straps.
The Tissot Sideral features a forged carbon case and a black PVD unidirectional bezel with diver and regatta graduation. The black dial showcases multi-coloured luminescent animation and a regatta countdown gauge design in green and red, capturing the retro 70s aesthetic.
With water resistance up to 30 bar (300m), the Sideral is a versatile accessory for various outdoor activities and events.
The Sideral watch houses the Powermatic 80 Nivachron movement with a new Tissot skeletonised rotor. This self-winding movement is visible through the sapphire crystal case-back.
The suggested retail price of the Tissot Sideral watch is $995/ £915/CHF 965.
