For Her
Motichoor Laddoo: A Little Moonlight And A Lot Of Magic
Tissot Desir Moonphase
Round, golden and instantly recognisable, the motichoor laddoo is a Diwali favourite. And just like this festive classic, the Tissot Desir Moonphase has a little magic of its own. Its new moonphase complication displays the changing phases of the moon on the dial, making it a fitting choice for anyone who loves a touch of celestial charm.
The midnight-blue dial, Roman numeral indexes and jewellery-like stainless-steel bracelet give this watch an elegant presence, while its refined domed case is reminiscent of a finely cut gemstone. Powered by a reliable quartz movement, the Desir is designed to be a beautiful companion for years to come. A little sweetness, a little stardust and a whole lot of elegance!

Kaju Katli: Classic, Refined And Always In Style
Tissot Ballade 30mm
Few Indian sweets are as timeless as kaju katli. With its delicate diamond shape and understated silver-leaf finish, it is the kind of classic that never goes out of fashion. The Tissot Ballade 30mm carries that same enduring appeal. Its fluted bezel lends the watch a distinctive identity, while the light-blue dial adds a refreshing touch of colour.
The watch features a 316L stainless-steel case, a scratch-resistant, anti-reflective sapphire crystal and a precise quartz movement. Its slim bracelet combines polished and brushed links, while the quick-change system makes it easy to switch up the look. Elegant without trying too hard, this is one sweet pairing that is always a good idea.

Pista Barfi: A Fresh Take On A Festive Favourite
Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 Titanium
Pista barfi brings a contemporary twist to the traditional mithai box, with its distinctive colour and rich, nutty flavour. The Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 Titanium shares that modern spirit. An icon reborn in lightweight titanium, it brings a fresh perspective to the PRX's unmistakable 1970s-inspired design.
Created for those with an eye for design, the watch combines Tissot's iconic 1978 case shape with contemporary watchmaking technology. Its self-winding Powermatic 80 movement offers an impressive 80-hour power reserve and features an innovative Nivachron hairspring. For someone who likes their festive traditions with a modern twist, this is a gift that certainly stands out.

For Him
Chocolate Modak: A Modern Twist On A Diwali Classic
Tissot PRX Chronograph
The modak may be a traditional festive favourite, but give it a chocolate makeover and you have something altogether more contemporary. The Tissot PRX Chronograph follows a similar philosophy, retaining the iconic PRX design while adding a sporty, modern edge.
Its black dial, contrasting white date window and 41mm stainless-steel case make it a confident choice for someone who likes a little attitude on the wrist. Powered by the G10.212 quartz chronograph movement, it delivers precision and robustness, while Super-LumiNova® coating on the hands ensures visibility in low-light conditions. A little traditional charm, a little modern indulgence!

Jalebi: Rich, Timeless And Made To Impress
Tissot Ballade COSC
Some mithais are made for special occasions, and jalebi is certainly one of them. Rich, distinctive and rooted in tradition, it has a presence that needs little introduction. The Tissot Ballade COSC brings that same sense of occasion to the wrist.
An evolution of a model with deep roots in Tissot's collection, the Ballade was reintroduced in 2024 and now features chronometer-certified performance. Its signature fluted bezel adds depth and character to the case, while the Powermatic 80 movement is officially recognised for its accuracy and reliability. For the man who appreciates classic design and precision, this is a Diwali gift with plenty of substance.
