In 2010, Tissot was ahead of the trends by releasing the Heritage Visodate.
At that time, major brands started realizing that watch buyers increasingly valued models with vintage designs. This coincided with the rise of Instagram and platforms like Tumblr, where watch enthusiasts shared their favorite styles. This trend quickly spread and has remained relevant ever since. For many established brands, it became a great opportunity to revive long-forgotten models from the archives.
Design Evolution: From Heritage to the New Visodate
Despite the love for such watches back then, comparing them to modern models reveals that earlier versions lacked in detailing and refinement. They were too influenced by contemporary trends, and the market for such watches was still developing. Tissot proved the possibility of improvement by re-releasing the classic Visodate with more refined details.

One of the weak points of the Heritage Visodate was the case proportions. At the time, there was a prevailing belief that watch sizes should be at least 40mm, which did not always suit the classic style. The new Visodate successfully addresses this issue: the stainless steel case now measures 39mm in diameter and just 10.45mm in thickness. The lugs feature a matte inner surface and polished outer edges, adding sophistication to details that aren't always immediately apparent.

Case and Details: A Combination of Vintage and Modernity
The glass is made of sapphire with a characteristic box shape and is secured by a thin, polished bezel. The crown is styled vintage - it has a bulbous shape with a fluted surface. The back cover combines modern solutions, including a screw-down transparent case that allows you to observe the movement, and an engraving with the historic Tissot logo. This construction provides water resistance up to 50 meters, meeting modern requirements for everyday watches.

Dial Variations: Classic in Three Versions
The new Visodate is presented in three dial variations, combining conservatism and style:
- Dark blue dial with polished indices and hands;
- Black dial with similar polished elements;
- Silver dial with golden details and the Tissot logo at the 12 o'clock mark.

The dial has a slightly convex shape reminiscent of the so-called "pie-pan" - this allows for different light play on the matte surface. All models feature a traditional date window at the "3 o'clock" position. On the new version, it is framed and expanded to match the dial shape, echoing the design of the original models. In the black version, the date is displayed on a black disc for a more restrained appearance.

The new watch is equipped with the automatic Powermatic 80 movement - a reliable and proven caliber used in several successful Tissot models. As the name suggests, it has an impressive power reserve of up to 80 hours, significantly surpassing the original Visodate. The movement is equipped with a Nivachron balance spring, ensuring high accuracy and protection from magnetic fields. These features make the new Visodate an ideal choice for daily use.

Straps and Bracelets: Classic and Comfort
The watches are offered with two fastening options:
- Models with blue and black dials come with a stainless steel "beads of rice" bracelet, combining classic and vintage charm;
- The silver version is complemented by a brown leather strap embossed to resemble crocodile skin, emphasizing the historical style and harmonizing with the golden elements of the dial.
This choice allows you to select a model according to the owner's preferences and style.
