Specifications

Movement Details

The Powermatic 80 is one of Tissot's most popular automatic movements. Key advantages include:

• 80-hour power reserve (roughly double that of many standard Swiss automatics)
• Automatic winding via wrist movement
• 23-jewel construction
• Proven ETA-based architecture
• Good accuracy and serviceability for its price class

This movement allows the watch to be left off the wrist for an entire weekend and still be running on Monday.

Design Characteristics

The Chemin des Tourelles line is named after the street in Le Locle where Tissot established its factory in 1907. The design emphasizes classic Swiss watchmaking with:

• Traditional round case
• Elegant silver sunburst dial
• Two-tone steel and gold styling
• Slim profile for a dress watch
• Sapphire crystal with excellent scratch resistance
• Display caseback showing the movement

The watch works well as both a business and formal dress watch.
