Tissot has been working hand n hand with ETA for the research and development of this new automatic piece. Together they thrived to push the limits in terms of precision, power and essentially giving time a new status. Tissot’s spirit of innovators by tradition and ETA’s expertise in the creation of movements is a winning combination. Both companies were able to carry each other above and beyond, leading to the production of a ground-breaking piece.


Tissot’s recipe for success is to ally its watchmaking expertise and traditions to the benefits of innovative materials, which has proven itself time and time again. This movement was no exception to that approach and as a result, the automatic Powermatic 80 not only demonstrates ultimate precision but also has 80 hours of power reserve. Additionally, staying true to Tissot’s philosophy of offering luxury products at an affordable price, you will be awestruck by the price of such a revolutionary component.

Works

Standard watches would usually have a barrel that would last 36 hours before needing to be wound up again. However, with a new construction concept which integrates a new spring barrel, Tissot and ETA were able to provide the piece with a greater power reserve, allowing the watch to go for 80 hours without being worn or wound up. As if a greater power reserve was not enough, they also found a way of making the movement extremely precise and robust by concentrating on ways to improve the regulator system. One of the factors which contributed to that robustness was a new way of regulating the watch by removing the index-assembly system and replacing this item by an innovative technology.


This new way of thinking and essential modifications have given way to this brand new revolutionary system called the Powermatic 80 automatic movement. You may witness these works in the Tissot Luxury timepieces, the first watches to feature the ground-breaking piece.
