Just to summarize some of what has already been said in the comments before and add some additional useful (I hope) information. There is not one Powermatic 80 movement; there are several. As already mentioned in the video, the name of the movement starts with C07 and is followed by three numbers. E.g. C07.111. When looking on the Tissot website, they call their Powermatic 80 movements C80, followed by the same three numbers as the C07 naming, so the C07.111 movement will be called the C80.111 movement on the Tissot website. Now, the three numbers in the type name do have a meaning. The first number can be 1, 6 or 8. The ones starting with 1 have the plastic pallet fork. The ones starting with 6 have a classic pallet fork (with rubies) and the ones starting with 8 have a silicon hairspring and classic palet fork with rubies. The second of these numbers indicates the functions that are included in the caliber: 0 = Central seconds, 1 = Central seconds + date, 2 = central seconds + day+date, 5 = Big date, 6 = date + GMT, 7 = central seconds + power reserve indicator. The third digit is always 1 (at this time). At this time, as far as I know, Tissot does not yet use all of the available C07 calibers (I know they use 111, 601, 661, 811). I hope this is useful.

Thank you, that was the info I was looking for. Do you know something about Certina movements with Nivachron (POWERMATIC 80.651) as Certina also belongs to Swatch group. Is the "nivachron" just marketing or would it be something different 🤔? Thanks.

@@TheKocton The Powermatic 80.651 corresponds to the ETA C07.651 movement. As far as I can see, Certina is the only watch brand that uses this movement. The Nivachron hairspring seems to be an alternative to the silicon hairspring that is used in the Tissot. It is also supposed to be anti-magnetic, but honestly, I don't know what exactly it is.

I just bought a Tissot gentleman powermatic 80 silicium grey market. The movement is stamped with C07.111 behind the balance. The rotor has 25 jewels, Silicon balance spring, Swiss made on it. Im wondering if the movement should be stamped with C07.811 and not C07.111? The rotor has all the correct markings but the C07.111 marking on the movement has me worried. Did I buy a frankenwatch 😀

@@tipptop9 Strange. I have a Tissot gentleman powermatic 80, bought from an official Tissot dealer, and I cannot see an ETA stamp. You can check if the movement is indeed a C07.811. You should see the letters "Si", circled with a spiral at the 9 o'clock position next to the balance wheel when you look at the movement when the balance wheel is at the top (crown to the left). If the "Si" is not there, they have probably replaced the movement with a C07.111 and replaced the rotor with an original Gentleman rotor.

@@peterdegelaen I think my reply was deleted, possibly because I put a link to caliber corner info on the powermatic 80. Anyway I got the watch off a guy who says he got it from creation watches. It has Powermatic 80 silicium on the dial, it has the correct markings for the model on the rotor listed in previous reply, it doesn't have SI on the balance bridge and it has C07.111 stamped on the movement behind the balance, along with eta logo. It looks like some swappery has happened alright. The watch keeps perfect time and has no other issues surprisingly. No response from the seller so I guess i have my answer. I'll only be buying from AD in future, lesson learned.

I have a 3 year old Tissot Chemins des Tourelles that uses the C07.111 and is not COSC certified. I looses about 30 seconds in one month so roughly and average of 1 second per day. Pretty dam accurate for a movement with plastic pallet and escapement. A lot of watch "enthusiasts" look down on these engineered synthetic polymer parts but it just may be the way of the future. They are lighter weight and help achieve the 80 hour power reserve along with the longer thinner main spring. Quite the feat of engineering and innovation in my humble opinion.

A self lubricating polymer sounds to me like they're using Delrin (or some variation of it). My experience with that material is that it's extremely durable. If Tissot is using that material for the escapement I don't think long term durability will be a problem.

Agree. But when people hear "plastic" or "polymer" they automatically think it's a toy. The same thing occurred when pro cameras started using polymer for the frame. Everyone said it was the end of durability. But, now nearly all pro cameras use polymer frames because it is actually more durable than alloy. Glock had the same pushback with their renowned polymer gun frames. But, some people will never change or admit they are wrong.

There is ONE version of the Powermatic that uses the polymer escapement, the C07.1xx. The other PM movements used, the C07.6xx and C07.8xx, do NOT have the polymer escapement. It's therefore not correct to make a blanket statement that "Tissot Powermatic 80 has a plastic escapement". This, again, is only true of the C07.1xx. Most Tissot mechanical watches do not use this lower-tier movement.

Excellent video!!! I'm interested in a Tissot with a Powermatic 80. Especially, thank you, for explaining to the ignorant masses regarding other videos speaking the word "plastic". You use the word "polymer" 👍👍. People hear plastic and immediately think CHEAP. They don't realize what awesome materials Man can create in plastics....polymers. Same with aluminium, Stainless steels, etc. Just one example is impregnating PTFE, Teflon, into the "plastic", and at different percentages. The engineering for materials nowadays is extraordinary!, to say the least. Plus all the classified materials that are created for the military, and never revealed to the public right away. Anyway, I have no problem buying the P80 with a polymer escapement, it'll depend on other factors. Have a great day 😀.

I saw a lot of KZbin videos that the Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 movement has plastic parts such as the pallet fork and escape wheel on the watch !! And in the videos they're mentioning that the Powermatic 80 movement cannot be serviced, the movement is hard to service and due to spare parts and the movement cannot be serviced by the local watch service man, And the movement only can be replaced!! After this now I am really very much worried and scared to buy the Tissot PRX Powermatic 80!! What are your suggestions and thoughts on the Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 bro ??

It have really nothing different from a 2824 in terms of maintenance, except that you may need a special or adapted tool to adjust the rate (and a expected experience on regulating free-sprung balances).

The Certina DS PH200M (original aluminum bezel insert version) uses the Powermatic 80.111. I have one of these and when new it was running at +1.4spd and over 5 years later it’s still running at +1.4spd. With over 3 days power reserve that makes for one good watch for use outdoors. It’s a great watch, not my best or most costly watch, but great nonetheless. One doesn’t buy such watches for their Haute Horology (of which there is none 😂) but for their practical use and durability in outdoors life. Either way, it’s a great movement that has served me very well.

Right, and the PRX uses the "plastic" escapement so many snobs complain about. It must really be annoying for them to see this movement being more accurate than their expensive "all metal" watches.

I bought a Certina DS Action Diver with the Powermatic 80 movement and set it to local standard time while still at the AD, Feb28. 3 days later and it has lost just 2 seconds, to say that I'm impressed is an understatement. 😁

It's just a different process. You adjust the two tiny screws on the balance wheel. There is a video on YT on how to do this. Very delicate operation though.

I think ETA could have made a great movement as in free sprung balance with silicone hairspring and more hours but 3hz, no way, plastic paper fork... Hard to regulate at home. Rather get a Japanese 3hz. They should give the customer the option between the P80 and 2824-2

Great, just buy those same old Japanese movements that date back to the 1960s. Some people are OK with change and don't live in the past. Enjoy.

The price of Tissot watches with c07 movement are so cheap in the market these days, they really become a disposable watches, as service might cost more than the actual watches in price. Especially when Tissot takes regulator pin off the movement, so you need specially tool to adjust the rate.

I arrived at this video for the same reason. Is it worth buying a Tissot then? Having that doubt of whether it'll stop working after 5 to 6 years and then spend again for the replacement of entire movement? In my region the service costs are equal to the watch price of another Tissot watch.

@badarikrishna3169 tissot is putting out some cheapen movements with plastic escapement and non adjustable regulator. Rule of thumb is to avoid any 23 jewels tissot watches. I would recommend buying mido watches instead.

@@han7902 Thank you. You mean to say 25 jewels plus regulator available Tissot is a safe bet ? I see they are using 23 jewels in all their flagships right from Gentleman, PRX and Chemen series. Also I haven't heard of anyone keeping their Tissot for years and passed it on to next generation. Since this is an aspirational buy it should not end up in disappointment like a tech gadget is what I was thinking.

I look at cut-price Tissot watches online and I can get a watch with a COSC quartz movement for less than a very similar watch with a Powermatic 80. It’s always cheaper. I don’t like replacing watch batteries, and maybe the quartz movement isn’t really that accurate… but it’s still likely to be much more accurate than a Powermatic 80, which also is a 3 Hz movement…

Imagine comparing the accuracy of a quartz watch with almost any mechanic ever. The entire point of the existence of a quartz watch is to be as accurate as it can be. That is not what mechanical watches are about. At all.

Beware, plastic parts! I wanted to buy a Tissot for the Powermatic 80 movement, but the escapement is made of plastic! So I decided to buy a Mido Caliber 80, with the same movement, but with steel escape wheel and anchor, with two rubies at the ends of anchor.

Olá amigo! Reduzir o diâmetro do eixo do tambor faz com que a energia se concentre em uma área menor, Isso não causa desgaste na ponte? Seus vídeos são ótimos, seus artigos tb. Vc é o relojoeiro mais técnico que conheço na web brasileira e um dos mais técnicos que conheço na web em geral, mundo todo. Pra mim vc é uma espécie de orgulho nacional, hehehe. Continue fazendo vídeos👏👏 Dito isso, escapamento de plástico não da pé não, feio demais, é como ter um bélissimo Puro-sangue inglês com a cabeça de uma capivara.
