Tissot Carson

If the Chemin des Tourelles is Tissot's polished dress icon, the Carson is the traditionalist: a round, Roman-numeral dress watch in the most classic sense, and the widest dress family in the lineup. Carson Premium spans quartz, automatic, and even a moonphase, across 30 to 41mm for men and women, so there's a version at nearly every size and budget. The one to know is the Powermatic 80 automatic, a 40mm steel piece with an 80-hour movement and a clean silver dial that reads far more expensive than it is. It's one of the most affordable ways into a traditional dress watch, moonphase and all.
