Now, however, Tissot is essentially mothballing the old model and is focusing on the bold T-Touch II. This new model has a larger LCD screen, better water resistance, and more style options. But it's still the T-Touch you know and love. But, and this is important, it has a backlight!

The T-Touch Connect Solar has the essential functions of the T-Touch Solar Expert: perpetual calendar, countdown, chronograph, alarm, weather, and altimeter functions.

In 1999, Tissot revolutionised the watchmaking industry by launching the first tactile watch in the world, the T-Touch. By combining its innovative spirit with tradition, its watchmaking expertise with technologies developed for it by the R&D entities of the Swatch Group, Tissot launched a pioneering watch.

Tissot developed the first tactile watch 20 years ago. This high-tech feature improves watch ergonomics and makes it unique and intuitive to use. The technology offers an array of functionalities ‒ compass, altimeter, weather, alarm, chronograph ‒ without an abundance of buttons or complex sub-menus.
