Its current regional catalogs center on 39 mm and 42 mm cases, with the 2023 refresh using Tissot’s Nivachron Powermatic 80 movement platform. The choice comes down to wrist proportion, dial and bracelet preferences, and whether you want a traditional dial or a skeleton design.
What is the Chemin des Tourelles?
The collection takes its name from a street in Le Locle, Switzerland, where Tissot says its factory was established in 1907 and remains today. Tissot positions the range around classic Swiss-made automatic watchmaking rather than a sports-watch purpose. Tissot’s US collection page gives the name’s stated origin.
What is in the current collection?
Tissot’s US and France catalogs show regional groups of automatic references, not one fixed global lineup. The US catalog displayed eight results, while the France catalog displayed nine. Both list 39 mm and 42 mm models; options vary by market.
| Catalog snapshot | Sizes and movement listing | Regional list prices shown | Catalog breadth |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States | 39 mm and 42 mm; all listed as automatic | $875–$1,100 | Eight results |
| France | 39 mm and 42 mm; automatic collection | €845–€1,045 | Nine results |
These are official regional catalog prices and result counts at the time captured, not universal prices or a guarantee of current stock. Tax, currency, local warranty terms, and discounts can change the delivered cost. Check the relevant US catalog or France catalog for the market where you plan to buy.

How do the 39 mm and 42 mm models differ?
The clearest distinction established across the current catalog is case diameter. A 39 mm case is the smaller option; 42 mm is the larger one. Diameter alone does not determine how a watch wears: the exact reference’s lug-to-lug length, thickness, and bracelet fit also matter, and those should be checked on its product page before purchase.
- Consider 39 mm if you prefer a more restrained case presence or usually find larger watches overwhelming. Treat that as a starting point, not a guarantee of fit.
- Consider 42 mm if you want a more prominent dial and case. Verify the particular model’s dimensions and your preferred bracelet or strap before deciding.
Catalog filters show 316L stainless steel and 316L stainless steel with PVD coating, alongside multiple dial colors. The US catalog lists black, blue, green, grey, and white dials; France also lists leather and stainless-steel bracelet types, with brown, grey, black, and green bracelet colors. The exact combination depends on the reference and region.

Does it use Powermatic 80?
Tissot’s 2023 announcement says each model in that collection refresh is governed by the Nivachron Powermatic 80 movement. That identifies the movement platform for the 2023 refresh; it should not be taken as proof that every Chemin des Tourelles reference from every year or market has identical specifications. Check the exact reference listing for its movement details. Tissot’s 2023 pressroom announcement documents the refresh.
How does the skeleton compare with the standard model?
The skeleton is a distinct visual and specification branch, with an open-worked presentation rather than the conventional dial layout of standard references. Tissot’s pressroom describes subtle enhancements and a new automatic movement for the Chemin des Tourelles Skeleton collection. It does not establish one universal size, price, or movement specification for every skeleton reference, so compare individual product pages rather than assuming the standard collection’s details carry over. Tissot’s Skeleton pressroom page describes those updates.

Is it a dress watch or an everyday watch?
Its classic styling makes the Chemin des Tourelles a natural candidate for dressier settings, while the steel and PVD-coated cases and choice of leather or steel bracelets give buyers different looks for regular wear. That is a style assessment, not a claim about durability or suitability for a specific activity. Confirm water resistance and other practical specifications on the exact reference page if those affect how you plan to wear it.

What should you check before buying?
- Choose the market and reference. Open the relevant regional Tissot catalog and compare the exact product listings; the available references and prices differ by market.
- Compare case dimensions. Start with 39 mm versus 42 mm, then verify the individual watch’s full dimensions, especially lug-to-lug length and thickness.
- Match the look and materials. Check the dial color, steel or PVD-coated case, and whether the reference comes on leather or a steel bracelet.
- Decide between standard and skeleton. Treat skeleton references as their own variant and confirm their movement and dimensions individually.
- Check strap compatibility by reference. Tissot Australia’s reference T1394072203800 is a 42 mm model with a 22 mm lug width and an official blue silicone strap option. Do not assume that width applies to other references. See the T1394072203800 product page.
- Compare the real local cost. Review the seller, warranty, taxes, and delivered price in your market. The catalog figures above are regional official list prices, not a verified street-price comparison.
