The watch is nicknamed the "Cioccolatone" (Italian for "big chocolate") because its square case resembles a piece of chocolate. This nickname is not unique to Tissot; other brands also have similar square, pillow-shaped models that are referred to in this way. With their elegant proportions, harmonious details and timeless appeal, Tissot's Cioccolatone models are particularly coveted by collectors and connoisseurs.
This watch also features stylishly curved "fancy lugs" and measures 32 x 32 mm, the perfect gentleman's size. The refined design and clean lines make the watch appear even larger on the wrist than its dimensions suggest.
The silver-coloured dial exudes understated elegance, with minimalist elements such as applied hour-markers and distinctive Dauphine hands. A small sub-seconds dial with crosshairs at 6 o'clock is another refined detail.
The stylish overall look is completed by a vintage-inspired stainless steel Milanese bracelet that is super comfortable to wear. The watch can also be easily combined with a leather strap of your choice.
Whether as an elegant addition to any occasion or as a rare collector's item, this Tissot 8702-2 combines the iconic mid-century aesthetics with stylish understatement.
