FAQs

What is the difference between Tissot Automatic and Powermatic 80? ›

An automatic watch is powered by the energy of the person who wears it. Wrist movement enables the mechanism to run. The Powermatic 80 movement boasts 80 hours of power reserve, which is enough to continue telling time accurately even if the watch is not worn for three days.

All Tissot watches are certified with the "Swiss Made" quality label, testimony of know-how, impeccable quality, perfect aesthetics and technical innovations. All watches sold on our website come with a 2 year international warranty. COSC certified models benefit of a 3 year old warranty.

The Powermatic 80 movement is a development of the Tissot watch brand in collaboration with ETA movements. The caliber is based on the ETA 2824-2, which has proven itself for decades, but has been modified to increase the power reserve to 80 hours.

The self-winding Powermatic 80 movement delivers reliability and precision thanks to the innovative Nivachron hairspring. With 80 hours of power reserve, it's a modern movement designed to keep pace with busy lifestyles.

You also get great quality and stylish designs with Tissot watches, which makes them more expensive. However, why so many collectors love buying Tissot is that you can get a precise, beautiful watch for much less than other famous Swiss luxury watch brands like Rolex or Omega.

The value of a Tissot watch depends on factors like the watch's provenance, rarity, condition, and materials. Some vintage Tissot watches sell for a few hundred dollars, while others can go for several thousand or more.

Tissot is considered a Swiss luxury brand

This rich history and high-quality craftsmanship make Tissot watches highly sought after by collectors. If you're looking for a blend of tradition, luxury, and top-tier watchmaking, Tissot is a brand worth considering.

Tissot is not owned by Rolex. Both Tissot and Rolex are Swiss watch brands, but they are separate entities. Tissot is part of the Swatch Group, one of the largest watch conglomerates in the world, which also includes other well-known brands like Omega, Longines, and Breguet.

Although it was common for artists of the period to have mistresses, it was unusual, and indeed scandalous, that Tissot lived with her openly, and painted her repeatedly in intimate domestic settings. Kathleen's status exacerbated the controversy.

Power reserve

TISSOT® Automatic watches draw their energy from an oscillating weight which is activated in response to the natural movements of your wrist. This weight keeps the watch wound. Automatic watches do not need a battery. Depending on the model, the power reserve varies from 36 to 80 hours.

Does Tissot use real diamonds? ›

All Tissot diamonds meet the certification requirements of the Kimberley process, an international system for certifying rough diamonds.

Tissot watches are renowned for their affordability without compromising on quality. With a commitment to offering luxury at accessible prices, Tissot ensures that each timepiece provides excellent value for money.

The timepiece has an 80 hour power reserve (3 full days and 8 hours). Keep in mind that this is only if it has a full power reserve. If your watch is only lasting (for example) 40 hours, there may not be anything wrong with it. You may just need to wind it up to fill the power reserve.

Both quartz and automatic watches are widely considered to be accurate for most practical purposes. However, quartz watches offer more reliable accuracy, because they are consistently accurate to within approximately half a second per day, while automatic watches can be off by a few seconds per day.
