New Delhi, March 19, 2009

The T-Touch Expert, a tactile sports watch that is perfectly equipped for adventures in the great outdoors, launches in 2008. This robust XL-size watch, with water resistance to 100 meters, comes with eight new functions, making it the ideal partner for professional mountaineers and extreme skiers. The T-Touch Expert is the next of kin to the T-Touch Original and promises to further grow the appeal of this unique family of timepieces.

Since its first introduction in the year 2000, the T-Touch has never ceased to innovate, introducing new materials for its cases, dials and straps, combining the latest materials and colours to create cutting-edge designs. The T-Touch retains the same key precision functions, activated via the tactile crystal.

The T-Touch Expert, with an enlarged case diameter to make a bold design statement, comes in different model variations with carbon or white dials and either a leather or rubber strap, or titanium bracelet. A particularly eye-catching version has a white dial and a white rubber strap. Additional innovative features are the altitude difference meter, the relative pressure and the azimuth (heading).

With the T-Touch Expert the wearer has a high-precision instrument offering the ideal combination of high-tech functionality and ease of use. More than just a watch, it offers 15 separate functions, activated by pressing on the crown and then on the touch-sensitive screen. Outdoor adventurers have direct access to absolute & relative pressure with weather forecast, altimeter (in feet and meters), altitude difference meter, chronograph (split and cumulative time), timer, azimuth (heading), compass, two alarms, thermometer (in ºC and ºF), date and time (measured on the 12-hour or 24-hour scale), perpetual calendar, two time zones and backlight. T-Touch Expert owners literally have technology at their fingertips, anytime, anywhere.

Tissot T-Touch Expert Functionality Overview:

Barometer

This forecasts meteorological changes with the hands (storm, stable or sunny) and shows the absolute atmospheric pressure and the adjustable relative pressure on the LCD (hPa).

Altimeter

Indicates the present elevation above sea level in a choice of either feet or meters.

Altitude Difference Meter

This operates like a stopwatch and shows the elapsed time, cumulative gains and losses in altitude (in feet or meters), plus the mean vertical speeds of ascent and descent (in feet per minute or meters per minute). It is perfect for measuring vertical movement during mountain treks.

Chronograph

A timing facility with ADD (cumulative) and SPLIT functions to a precision of 1/100 of a second.

Timer

The Timer is a countdown that can be set in hours, minutes and seconds.

Compass

The compass shows the geographic North by using the magnetic North and the adjustable East and West declination.

Azimuth (Heading)

By adjusting the azimuth, the T-Touch Expert indicates the heading which is shown at 12 o’clock. The minutes’ hand shows the North.

Dual alarm

The two 24-hour alarms are easy to use with an audible signal.

Thermometer (in ºC and ºF)

The exact outside temperature is shown in the LCD in either °Celsius or °Fahrenheit. The temperature displayed, relates to the watch case and is influenced by our body temperature. For a correct reading of the ambient temperature, the watch should be removed for a period of 15 to 30 minutes.

A perpetual calendar and 2 time zones can be read on a 12-hour or 24-hour scale to suit the wearers’ personal preferences. The integrated backlight completes the functionality spectrum to ease legibility.
