Tissot Powermatic 80 Explained
By World of Watches •
The Powermatic 80 is Tissot's automatic movement with a power reserve of about 80 hours, so a fully wound watch keeps running for over three days when it is not worn. It is used in many Tissot automatics and lets you rotate watches without resetting.
What It Is
The Powermatic 80 is a mechanical movement. It winds from the motion of your wrist and stores energy in a mainspring. The 80 refers to the hours of power reserve when fully wound.
Why Power Reserve Matters
Ordinary automatics often hold 38 to 42 hours. With 80 hours you can take the watch off on Friday night and find it still running on Monday morning, without resetting the time and date.
Who It Suits
- Watch lovers: Those who enjoy mechanical watchmaking.
- People who rotate watches: The long reserve helps.
- Anyone wanting a Swiss automatic: In an accessible range.
