Tissot T Excellence in gold [new watch]

A gold dress watch is a must for any budding watch collector, and Tissot has produced the perfect entry-level model. The Tissot T Excellence comes in gold (obviously), with clean lines and an extremely fine case. The slim case is held in place with a leather bracelet.

While this version comes with white dial and gold case, the Tissot T Excellence range offers multiple models. There is one in 18-kt gold and a radiant blue dial that darkens as it gets closer to the edge of the case. It comes with a dark blue leather strap to match.

More classical looks are provided by models with white dials and either a rose or a yellow 18-karat gold case and a black leather strap, highlight the simple face of the watch and its long smart hands.
