The Tissot Powermatic 80 is a Swiss Made self-winding automatic movement with 23-25 jewels. It is found in various Tissot models and is based on the ETA caliber C07 series, which itself is based on the legendary ETA caliber 2834-2. This caliber was announced at Baselworld 2012.
ALMOST MYSTERIOUS:
Tissot offers almost no information about the Powermatic 80 or the ETA base calibers. The official Tissot site provides large images of each movement, but they do a good job of hiding the ETA caliber designation near the balance wheel. The image above was one of the few available with a blurry glimpse at the base caliber number. Furthermore, ETA does not provide any official documentation on the C07 series, and these movements appear to be exclusive to Swatch Group brands only (as is currently the case for all ETA mechanical movements).
POWER RESERVE:
This caliber’s claim to fame is the high 80 hours power reserve. In contrast, the standard ETA 2834-2 is rated at about 38 hours power reserve when fully wound. Obtaining an 80 power reserve was achieved with the combination of a more efficient spring barrel and reducing the frequency from 4Hz to 3Hz. This means that the PM80 beats at 21,600 bph compared to a 2834-2 beating at 28,800.
NO REGULATOR:
The Powermatic 80 is not equipped with an ETAChron or other type of regulating system. Similar to the Sistem51, the Powermatic 80 laser regulated at the factory. This is what Tissot refers to as their “High-Tech” escapement. This doesn’t necessarily mean that the movement is impossible to adjust or service, but good luck finding parts or a watchmaker who will want to work on it. This is something for hardcore mechanical watch lovers to take into consideration before spending $1,000+ on a two-tone Tissot Luxury.
ETA C07 BASE MOVEMENT:
As mentioned above, the Tissot Powermatic 80 movements are based on the ETA caliber C07 series. At the time of this post, there are at least four variations of the C07 (C07.111, C07.141, C07.611, C07.651, C07.811) being used in Tissot timepieces labeled Powermatic 80, but Tissot does not give clear indication which models are powered by which version. We’re doing our best to gather as much information as possible to keep this list updated. Here’s what we have so far:
HOW TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE?
An easy way to distinguish the difference between the base calibers in Tissot Powermatic 80 models is to look at the features and/or text on the rotor:
Powermatic 80.111 (ETA C07.111)
Features: Date at 6:00
Rotor: High-Tech Escapement / Twenty-Three 23 Jewels / Swiss Made

How do you adjust the timekeeping accuracy? I don't see any sort of adjustment system. Mine ran 10 minutes slow a month and sent it back to Tissot 4 times while under warranty, 3 of the times the timekeeping never changed, and the last time they got it down to 5 minutes slow a month, which they say is within their specs, but my last 45 year old Tissot ran within 15 seconds a month.

Super cool video. Never seen the package these movements get shipped to AD. Just one thing, why the industrial noise? The noise was very distracting from an otherwise informative video

Is the escapement made by plastic ?

@giangvu7902 3 жыл бұрын

Would love to know too!

@SolimBD 3 жыл бұрын

No plastic

@cruze-1683 2 жыл бұрын

The escapement is made by special polymer only in C07.1XX series, you can see it if the caliber says 23 jewels, that polymer is not simple plastic

I recently bought a Tissot that was falsely advertised as having an ETA 2834-2 movement -- instead it had this specific movement in it (the Powermatic 80.121 with the 23 jewels and the black rotor and "composite" escapement and all that). The 6bps hand sweep is a deal-breaker for me, so I sent it back after I found a different retailer that still had an older new one in stock with the 2834-2 movement. That said -- while I don't know how well these "composite-escapement" Powermatics will hold up over time, I have to say I was very impressed with its +/- 2sec/day accuracy right out of the box. If only I could get my 2834-equipped version that fine-tuned.

Yes I'm also agree with you that 2834-2 movement is really good. But powermatic movement is another things. I think you will feel differently.

@@SolimBD what is your opinion on the comparison between the two? Especially the Powermatic with the composite escapement?

@peterlaurence-couzens8913 2 жыл бұрын

3hz and plastic escapement would be a deal breaker for me too.

@desertsoldier41 2 жыл бұрын

@@peterlaurence-couzens8913 Not all Powermatics have composite parts. Hamilton, Rado, Mido, Certina they all have different versions of this movement. My PRX for example has no composite parts. Keep in mind the Omega 8000 series coaxials have composite parts as well.
