A CLASSIC IN THE MAKING
This flagship model from the Locle-based watchmaker has everything it takes to become the indispensable Toolwatch for everyday use: a reliable, simple, and robust watch, available at an attractive price.
Released in 2019 by Tissot, the Gentleman Powermatic 80 Silicium caters to the demands of all wrists in search of an accessible watch that can be easily coordinated with any style and worn on any occasion. This year, the Swatch Group brand enriches its range with new dial variations. After the blue, there is now a sober grey version and a trendy one with the inevitable green. Whatever your preference, you can still find the same arrangement of time information. The pair of dauphine style hour and minute hands point to a precise minute track composed solely of indexes. This airy composition is completed by a date window located at 3 o’clock. Thanks to the presence of luminescent material, the watch is easy to read under any light conditions.
The 40mm diameter steel casing, water-resistant to a depth of 100 meters, houses the impressive Powermatic 80 caliber. This self-winding mechanism, equipped with a silicon balance spring, is insensitive to magnetic fields and, as its name suggests, offers a power reserve of 80 hours. The presence of a sapphire backing allows the wearer to admire the oscillating weight decorated with a stylized motif.
The Gentleman Powermatic 80 Silicium is available with a steel wristband closed by a butterfly clasp. Some models feature a brown leather strap. In all cases, the elegant and timeless design of this timepiece is perfectly in line with the current sport chic spirit.
