amazon Tissot Le Locle Powermatic 80 Chronograph T006.414.11.053.00 reviews
The world of watches looks like everything, but half of it is Dress Watch. This concept refers to simple, relatively thin designs, luxurious and polite style, suitable for office or important occasions. The most characteristic of the Dress Watch is the small size of the face; even when the trend of the world loves big watches, the Dress Watch is still popular with a face size smaller than 40mm. This size is suitable for most people, except for those with really big wrists. Therefore, this article will introduce a little-known concept, the Dress Chronograph, with the representative of the Tissot Le Locle Powermatic 80 Chronograph T006.414.11.053.00 – The elegant giant.
Overview of Tissot watch brand.

For those with large wrists, large stature, a watch of similar size is perfectly reasonable. However, when placed with a large Dial face, the simple and less detailed designs will create a feeling of emptiness; the face of the clock face will become redundant and accompany the aesthetic part. Meanwhile, watches with sporty designs, many details are not enough to accompany the owner in the environment need to show luxurious and elegant style. It will be a headache problem if there is no appearance of the Dress Chronograph. A chronograph is a word that only features timers on the watch; it appears popular on sports models that I have repeatedly introduced in this series. In terms of design, Chronograph enhances the beautiful complexity on Dial’s face, filling the gaps, in contrast to the ‘cool’ criteria on the Dress Watch patterns. And Dress Chronograph is a perfect combination of elements of both schools, becoming the number one priority for those with large wrist circumference (over 18cm).
You can see it is a mix of classic, formal style which has made a deep imprint for the Le Locle series and designed the Dial Chronograph to fill the space on the watch face 42.3mm, larger is counting the usual Le Locle, which has a diameter of 39.3mm. So, we have a large face size in terms of aesthetics, but Dial is not empty. Elegance and elegance are preserved in the form of a giant. No one can say that the timer feature makes this device a sports watch; it is a true gentleman.
Le Locle features are included in this version by the manufacturer. Like the usual 3-needle pattern, T006.414.11.053.00 owns a sleek, luxurious needle set (the type of needle considered a specialty of Dress Watch). However, the central second-hand plays and the game is a stopwatch for the Chronograph feature.
Synchronous running with small needles arranged symmetrically along a vertical axis from 12h to 6h angle. This sample’s maximum ability to measure time is up to 12 hours, but of course, it will also depend on the remaining energy in the cork. The 9 o’clock corner is the second hand, synchronously operating with the hour hand and minute hand in the center position. To create symmetry and balance for the design, Tissot has set 2 features for the calendar and calendar into 1 SubDial, similar to small needles at position three h. In addition, the Le Locle logo, as well as the Automatic Chronograph words, are also shown here. The layout is quite strange compared to the Sport Chronograph models, which usually keep the calendar very small at 4 o’clock and divide the remaining three spaces for SubDial. That is also the difference between these two types of stopwatches.
Other traditional details of the Le Locle line, such as the Chapter Ring, the number of piles, and the Clous des Paris motif at the mid-range, are still retained to reflect the spirit of this Flagship line. My comment on this hand and owning a sample of Le Locle 3 needles is similar. If anyone loves the Le Locle line but does not fit in the 39.3mm model, this is a great choice; having it, you will never have to regret it.
At the panorama, the overall design was as big and thick as what a typical Dress Chronograph needed. The specific thickness is 13.2mm; it will completely integrate into perfect harmony on the big wrists. The wires, shells, and adjustment knobs are all finished with a large gloss shape, creating an elegant, formal feel. The special thing is that these buttons are not round but rectangular, With the option of a Tissot shield, I feel easy to press, and the feeling of pressing is also more comfortable. The cord lock is still folded from both sides and is completely slippery after folding, so the experience will be completely comfortable working with the office computer and papers, unlike the sports models that are usually quite thick.
Not only perfect in appearance, but this Le Locle also impressed the inside machine. In the Longines Master Multi Calendar introduction a while ago, I once praised Valjoux, the world’s leading chronograph maker; today, the stopwatch comes from them to appear on this Tissot. Valjoux was founded in Switzerland in 1901 by 2 Raymond’s father and son. They used to be suppliers to the most luxurious brands in the watch world like Audermars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin, Patek Philippe, or Rolex. Today, famous watchmakers like IWC, Omega, and Breitling still use chronographs from this Swiss company. Valjoux is currently a subsidiary of ETA, a watch manufacturer of Swatch Group. As a result, Tissot, the key brand of Swatch Group, inherited great advantages when integrating Valjoux A05-H21 on its Le Locle Chronograph to guarantee outstanding quality. This machine is beautifully sculpted, and the Geneva Stripes are sophisticated and beautiful looking through the bottom glass. That is worthy of its premium positioning in the Tissot product portfolio.
If you have a large wrist circumference and are looking for a Swiss watch from famous global brands, owning a classic, elegant design wrapped around a high-end apparatus, this is a perfect choice.
