How an automatic watch works
Your wrist gives it energy. A spring saves it. A tiny balance sets the rhythm. Follow the journey inside an automatic watch, one pencil drawing at a time.
Tissot · Chemin Des Tourelles
Ref. T1392071611100
The Tissot Chemin Des Tourelles Powermatic 80 34 Stainless Steel / MOP takes a 18 mm strap: measure between the lugs and that is the only number you need. We list 31 straps in that width. A dress watch by proportion: a slim leather strap, plain or lightly stitched, keeps the line clean. With a 34 mm case and 50 m of water resistance, a strap of medium thickness keeps the balance. Automatic movement. Most straps here come with quick-release spring bars, so the swap takes a minute and no tool.
Width is a starting point. Check the case and end fittings before choosing.
