Tissot dares to be different with the new Sideral collection, which comes from the archives but is also strikingly contemporary

FUNKY TRIO

By choosing to cover the new Tissot Sideral watch, we are courting a bit of trouble because the watch will no doubt be the focus of a coming issue. By trouble here, we only mean that we are taking a chance on potentially repeating ourselves. Well, the Summer issue happens to be focused on composite materials so this new Sideral, a reinterpretation of the 1970s Tissot Sideral S, cannot be shunted off to another issue.

The original was cased in fibreglass, and the 2023 Sideral features a case in forged carbon. Both materials were firsts for Tissot (the brand claims to have premiered fibreglass for watch cases and we can find nothing to contest this view) in their respective eras, with forged carbon being unusual for Swatch Group brands. Perhaps Tissot preferred a bit more conventional approach for strength here because there is an inner steel case in the 2023 Sideral.
