Tissot Chemin des Tourelles Automatic 80 owner here...👌👍 Own it for three years now and still in love with it! Best watch I've ever owned and better than my other Omega and Maurice Lacroix watches.
Hello @Bob, We are very appreciative of your comment and thank you for it. Should you need some advice or specific information, you are more than welcome to write to us! Have a great day, Your Tissot Team
Which model of Chemin do you own? There are so many that we can consider them different watches. I just ordered a skeleton one with 25 jewels which is a newest release not yet advertised nor reviewed on yt. I expect it to be a watch for generations. In the beginning I chose the black one but then I thought that a watch just ought to be shiny so I bought the ivory one.
Funny you should say that, but my Tissot Gentleman with this movement keeps much better time than my '06 Submariner. The quality overall is very close, and the maintenance costs much less. Tissot are a cracking brand. Just goes to show the level of mark up on the 'prestige' segment.
@@philspencelayh5464 It,s true, they have some sapphire crystal but only on high-end models like Pressage, Astron etc, but still very reliable brand watch ⌚, I trust them!
I have found someone on ebay selling sapphire crystals pretty cheaply, I intend to try one in one of my old Seiko 5's to see how it works out, could be perfect
I just bought a tissot prs 516 blue waiting for its arrival… man with sapphire crystal, AR coating, a robust and an accurate movement like powermatic 80 and metal bracelet in$ 658 is a total steal….. always considering the overpriced seiko watches..
Tissot is the best I have ever seen I have the prc200 automatic chronograph, with leather strap, a fine piece for sure, where are my prc 200 club?? Anyone??
Only C07.111 variants, the gentleman le locle and chemin de tourelles have .611 variant with 25 jewls and metal escapements instead of polymer. @@rsgenus1

@@robdavis1248 definitively yes, it is a absolute must have in reality, wath ever the strap ( full steel seems to be more durable question of strap) but the Mouvement of the powermatic 80 cosc silicon is so accurate in long term that you gonne be amazed for real 😉 don't forget that the other brands with the same specs are much more expensive also..

No it's misleading, even Tissot website shows one with Chronometer stenciled on the balance, but when I got mine there's nothing to indicate that it is, however watch does run like a Chronometer you get about +-4 seconds per day
I have a Tissot Luxury Chronometer. Are all of the silicium movements COSC certified? Or only the ones that state "chronometer" on the dial? I think I'm getting a Tissot Gentleman in blue as a daily wear. I just need to go somewhere to see it in person.
@@TISSOT I went to an AD and had them order the blue Gentleman. I love it. I think it is so well made and the best value and quality for its price point.
I have a Certina powermatic 80 and it gains approximately 1.5 seconds a day when worn and fully wound, a little more when not worn, way better accuracy than I was expecting, my son has a Tissot le'locle and he gets about 10-12 secs a day gain.
@@peterzabilka3664 Incorrect. The lower beat rate helps increase the power reserve and also reduces wear and tear slightly. Audemars uses a low beat rate. If its good enough for AP its good enough for me!
Tissot is a part of the ETA group, so every movement of theirs is an iteration of ETA movements. The Powermatic 80 is simply an ETA 2824-2 movement with a few modifications, so that Swatch brands such as Tissot and Certina can use it, but it's basically free to use for anyone in the Swatch group.
Dear Roubén, Following a brand decision, Tissot has stopped using silicon in the watches. Instead, we are now using Nivachron, which is a material far less sensible to magnetism. Best regards, Tissot Team
@@TISSOT Hello Tissot team. Thanks for the reply. What about Tissot gentleman lineup? The model name and this "Si" on top of balance wheel suggest use of silicium/silicon spring. Is silicium different than silicon? If yes, I meant Silicium.
Hi Roubén, The confusion between Silicium and Silicon comes from the fact that Silicium is the French term for Silicon. So it is indeed the same thing but Tissot uses the French term. As for the Gentleman lineup, if "Si" is mentioned, it means that the balance spring (not wheel) in indeed in Silicon. Best regards, Tissot Team
Silicon is completely anti-magnetic whereas Nivachron if I'm not mistaken is an alloy made mostly of titanium. Titanium is only very weakly magnetic. I assume the decision was driven by the need to optimize the production process or maybe it's not possible to source silicon hairsprings in large volumes. A wire-drawn spring costs less to produce compared to silicon which is etched from a wafer. Also, silicon is brittle and not easy to work with. In the end any company must optimize the cost-to-benefit ratio.
@@baze3SC I didn't know each company in Swatch group produces its own silicon stuff (unless they have in-house movements). I thought they are mass produced and delivered to different companies with the movement. Maybe I was wrong. Also didn't know what niva actually is. If it's titanium (mainly) that also makes sense.

Tissot is such an amazing brand, as a Tissot owner I can say that you get much more than you pay for. (Speaking for Le Chemin Des Tourelles Squelette.)
Mechanical watches are the real engineering products. The precision engineering of these tiny components which work together for decades astonishes me. Salutation to the the watch makers who combine art with their engineering skills.
Depends which model you have but this www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Single-Dome-Sapphire-Watch-Crystal-30mm-x-1-5mm-fits-SNK-series/324264460663?hash=item4b7fab0177:g:z5UAAOSw9G1fOpP1 mentions a few that it will fit .
Does anybody know if the first powermatic 80 movement from 6 years ago has the silicon balance spring? I have that movement and the inscription on the back says high tech escapement instead of silicon balance spring like this one. When I bought it Tissot didn’t reveal details about the movement but watch sites and reviewers always thought it had the silicon balance wheel and therefore resistant to magnetism. Just curious, my watch is still working perfectly after 6 years and no service yet.
@@michaelriera6277 They wont! All silicon balance version models indicate on the dial and come at a price premium. They will not upgrade during service!
Got my first Tissot yesterday. Ballade Powermatic 80 COSC. While I was at the store, another caught my eye - Gentleman Powermatic 80. I'll be back for that one soon.
I noticed in the animation that the pallets were jeweld, however in disassemblies I've seen that the escapement is all synthetic/plastic, similar to the sistem51. Are there different versions of the Powermatic 80 or is this animation based on a different movement?
I have just got the 60th anniversary DS-1 Big Date with the green dial and mesh strap. It's a lovely watch and the Swiss movement with 80-hours power reserve is part of its attraction. Am I correct in thinking it is not COSC certified?
Dear Kevin, you have indeed a beautiful watch with the MOUVEMENT POWERMATIC 80.651 H2/6H (NIVACHRON), but this movement is not COSC certified. Thanks, Tissot team.
I asked myself the same thing... I could imagine (1.) that there is a mechanism preventing the rotor from turning in the wrong direction, releasing tension of the mainspring or (2.) a mechanism which allows the rotor to turn in the wrong direction but without influencing the mainspring (i.e. a gearwheel with skewed teeth)
For older watches from the mid 1900s they would wind in 1 direction. Newer watches now have a pretty neat mechanism that allows for winding in either direction
I love my solar quartz watches, but there will always be that certain fascination with mechanical movements. It’s a more romantic watch, if generally less accurate. Enter the Spring Drive 😇
are cosc certified PM80 equipped with plastic escapewheel and palletfork or metallic as in 2824? The only downside of PM80 (non-cosc) are crucial parts like escape wheel and pallet fork are made out of *PLASTIC* and that is not at all "High end" nor represents true "swiss made" quality to me....
I love my Tissot 1000 Seastar! I love this movement and power reserve. Love everything about the piece. In fact my only negative about it is the 21mm lug / band width. Please consider changing to 22mm for your next model version.
I just bought a tissot prs 516 blue waiting for its arrival… man with sapphire crystal, AR coating, a robust and an accurate movement like powermatic 80 and metal bracelet in$ 658 is a total steal….. always considering the overpriced seiko watches..
I do not understand how watch companies (and the Swiss movement makers), can take in such huge revenues and yet advertise basic stuff like a longer mainspring as some kind of clever success to celebrate. By all means preserve traditional watchmaking skills but please, stop charging us stupid money for basic stuff, it is lazy and greedy.
I don't know how they do it. I've had a few, they're all late. Only when the main spring is partially tensioned are they punctual. With a very low tension they are late, with "medium" tension they are punctual, with full tension they are also late. Optimum is completely wrong.
Thank you very much for the video that shows how does mechanical clocks and watches work. In quartz clocks and watches first wheel of the gear train is regulated by peizo electric motor (lavet stepping motor or smooth sweeping motor) that is powered by tuning fork shaped quartz crystal resonator that receives power from 1.5 V battery and vibrates at the frequency of 32,768 Hz and regulates the series of gears that drives the motion work to drive the hands that points seconds, minutes and hours. In mechanical clocks the spring barrel or weight pulley (cable barrel) drives the first wheel of the going train to activate the escapement the pushes the balance wheel or pendulum forward every time it returns backwards and drives the motion work of the clock to make the hands of the clock to point the hours minutes and seconds. This is the main difference between quartz clocks and mechanical clocks. Motion work is direct of the going train in some clocks and motion work is not direct part but connected to going train in some clocks in case of mechanical clocks. In quartz clocks the motion work is almost always direct part of the going train and either the mainspring barrel or weight pulley is not necessary because there is no spring driven oscillator (pendulum nor balance wheel) to drive the gear train. Thus the spring driven oscillator and escapement are replaced by quartz crystal powered peizo electric motor to drive the gear train in quartz clock.
My favourite since the 60's. Nice to see something new & exciting like the kid staring into the showcase !

Amazing Tissot, always inovating. I have four pieces of this brand.
Any favorites out of the 4 u have? Currently looking into tissot thinking of buying one for myself.
Omega has been using the silicon mainspring for many years now and now SWATCH/ETA, their parent company, has released its use for Tissot and Longines.
A Big Scam because those movements break after about 2 years, it's too expensive to repair them so you can either buy a new movement or get fucked.
many rolex, patek philippe and others have the silicium balance Wheel...
never thought this much physics goes behind making a watch
It's actually nothing but physics (and a little design).

How's it running now movement wise
Very good video! I love how it explains the parts of a watch very well.
Thanks to Tissot for cheap and very high quality watches. It is an honor to make watches since 1853.
I wouldn't say cheap. I would say affordable quality. I like that I can get a quality Swiss watch from Tissot and not break my bank account.
The best explain. I couldn’t understant how mainspring and balance spring are connected by other movies
21 people are really experts on horology. I bet they are just ignorant people that love to click the dislike bottom.
i have 2 manual winding watches one being the t complication squellette, kinda wish i went for an automatic
Thanks for this course. why people dislike it???
Love my Tissot Seastar Silicoum.
Great explanatory video about the complexity of the movement at the Powermatic 80.
Stay away from 23 jewels powermatic 80. These are 2 jewels at the pallet fork removed to fully use plastic parts.
I noticed in the animation that the pallets were jeweld, however in disassemblies I've seen that the escapement is all synthetic/plastic, similar to the sistem51. Are there different versions of the Powermatic 80 or is this animation based on a different movement?
the escapement isn't plastic but composite. Less friction.
The silicon balance version uses metal escapment gears hence the extra 2 jewels over the synthetic espcapement version! 23 vs 25
Well it's nice video. Everything is clear and easy to understand.
Thanks
Thanks to you for your feedback! 🙂

By all means preserve traditional watchmaking skills but please, stop charging us stupid money for basic stuff, it is lazy and greedy.
Now THIS is art! Love it!
Does Tissot powermatic second hand sweeps like auomatic watch or do they tick?
Apple El they sweep I refer to the case back when searching for a watch
I don't know how they do it. I've had a few, they're all late. Only when the main spring is partially tensioned are they punctual. With a very low tension they are late, with "medium" tension they are punctual, with full tension they are also late. Optimum is completely wrong.
I recently bought the Tissot Powermatic 80 Gentleman and its amazing, its only 1 second behind per day, 30seconds per month.

EXCELENT MECHANISM ETA, BRASIL OK.
Thank you very much for the video that shows how does mechanical clocks and watches work. In quartz clocks and watches first wheel of the gear train is regulated by peizo electric motor (lavet stepping motor or smooth sweeping motor) that is powered by tuning fork shaped quartz crystal resonator that receives power from 1.5 V battery and vibrates at the frequency of 32,768 Hz and regulates the series of gears that drives the motion work to drive the hands that points seconds, minutes and hours. In mechanical clocks the spring barrel or weight pulley (cable barrel) drives the first wheel of the going train to activate the escapement the pushes the balance wheel or pendulum forward every time it returns backwards and drives the motion work of the clock to make the hands of the clock to point the hours minutes and seconds. This is the main difference between quartz clocks and mechanical clocks. Motion work is direct of the going train in some clocks and motion work is not direct part but connected to going train in some clocks in case of mechanical clocks. In quartz clocks the motion work is almost always direct part of the going train and either the mainspring barrel or weight pulley is not necessary because there is no spring driven oscillator (pendulum nor balance wheel) to drive the gear train. Thus the spring driven oscillator and escapement are replaced by quartz crystal powered peizo electric motor to drive the gear train in quartz clock.
Is my new Tissot powermatic 80 Silicium Submarine Seastar 1000 with the same Automatic Movement ?
I like tissot best watch I only buy Tissot not another watch best quality ....Swiss Made...
Does the Powermatic 80 movement contain any golden parts / any gold?
