THE LATEST MUST HAVE
Less is more, as you will understand at first glance when you see the composition of the dial on these new watches from the manufactory. Another major selling point is their very affordable price!
If you only had one watch in your wardrobe, the new Gentleman Powermatic 80 Silicium could well be the one, given its many assets. On a silver, black or luminous blue dial, the dauphine-style hour and minute hands, enhanced by a luminescent white material, point to the beveled markers. A discreet central second hand traces its revolutions. This sleek composition includes a date display at 3 o’clock, accompanied by time information. The versatile esthetics of this timepiece produced by Tissot means it can be worn in a professional environment as well as when enjoying good times with friends.
Two watchbands are available. The first, in stainless steel, is a natural extension to the 40-mm case, watertight to 100 m, and machined in the same material. It reinforces the watch’s sporty character. The second, in black or brown leather, gives this watch a more elegant presence. Both options are equipped with a butterfly clasp.
Last but not least, the Gentleman Powermatic 80 Silicium is powered by a Powermatic caliber. This self-winding movement provides a comfortable power reserve exceeding 3 days when fully wound (80 hours). It also has a robust silicium balance wheel that is insensitive to magnetic fields. The owner of this watch can also view some of the components in this modern mechanical architecture, as well as the decorated oscillating weight, through the sapphire crystal back.
