Just to summarize some of what has already been said in the comments before and add some additional useful (I hope) information. There is not one Powermatic 80 movement; there are several. As already mentioned in the video, the name of the movement starts with C07 and is followed by three numbers. E.g. C07.111. When looking on the Tissot website, they call their Powermatic 80 movements C80, followed by the same three numbers as the C07 naming, so the C07.111 movement will be called the C80.111 movement on the Tissot website. Now, the three numbers in the type name do have a meaning. The first number can be 1, 6 or 8. The ones starting with 1 have the plastic pallet fork. The ones starting with 6 have a classic pallet fork (with rubies) and the ones starting with 8 have a silicon hairspring and classic palet fork with rubies. The second of these numbers indicates the functions that are included in the caliber: 0 = Central seconds, 1 = Central seconds + date, 2 = central seconds + day+date, 5 = Big date, 6 = date + GMT, 7 = central seconds + power reserve indicator. The third digit is always 1 (at this time). At this time, as far as I know, Tissot does not yet use all of the available C07 calibers (I know they use 111, 601, 661, 811). I hope this is useful.

Finally some real information about movement technology, not just the trivial reviews one sees in so many channels. Thanks!

I bought my Powermatic 80 one year ago. It performs faultlessly. It’s my forever watch.

Most detailed analysis of the powermatic Ive come across. Thank you for posting this!

The powematic 80 silicium I have, it’s so accurate ! I am very pleased with this tissot.

Now this is the detail I've been wanting when talking about a movement. Great video, I'm subscribing now

I am a complete noob when it comes to watches and I just got the Tissot Ballade with the Powermatic 80 movement. Thanks so much for this video explaining what makes this movement so unique and interesting!

Your knowledge always leaves me in awe. So very well explained always. I hope for the best for you and your channel. Keep up the good work

Wow great video! Very informative! Now I gained an appreciation for the polymer parts of the Powermatic 80.

Very detailed explanation on how and the type machanical watches movement works. Have learned a lot through your videos sharing, I wish to see more of these soon. 🙏

What a fantastic video - love the detailed, informed commentary. Thanks for sharing this

Excellent explanation of the Powermatic 80 movement. Thanks so much.

Excellent video and explanation. I just got my Certina DS Caimano with Powermatic 80, C07.111 caliber.

Awesome video! Learned a ton. Thanks so much.

Very inforrmative sir. I have two Tissot powermatic 80 watches with the eta 2824 movements. I now understand how the movements function much better. ty mh

Excellent explanation, finally someone explained it properly, good job

Fantastic channel! Real horologic knowledge around here. Facts and not fiction…keep going man!

The Certina DS PH200M (original aluminum bezel insert version) uses the Powermatic 80.111. I have one of these and when new it was running at +1.4spd and over 5 years later it’s still running at +1.4spd. With over 3 days power reserve that makes for one good watch for use outdoors. It’s a great watch, not my best or most costly watch, but great nonetheless. One doesn’t buy such watches for their Haute Horology (of which there is none 😂) but for their practical use and durability in outdoors life. Either way, it’s a great movement that has served me very well.

This video has earned you a new subscription. Well done.

this was fascinating. will have to check out your other vids.

I really enjoyed watching your video! Would you recommend a tissot ballade chronometer? I am looking for my first chronometer watch. Thank you.

Thanks for clarifying a lot of things I didn’t know about the Powermatic 80 movement. I hear a lot of people criticizing it for things that apparently are not even true.

Este canal é fantástico para quem é verdadeiramente apaixonado por relojoaria. É uma pena não haver novos vídeos.

A most informative presentation. Thank you.

WOW! The more you know! 😎 Thank you for this video!

Very good video. It has confirmed things I knew more, it has brought new knowledge about this movement. Thank you.

Esse cara é outro patamar

Nicely informative video about power reserve. Can you please do a video about Parmigiani movements with twin barrels in series?

Amazing technical review!

Boa tarde, Adriano. Vale apena comprar um tissot Bridgeport com máquina 7750 dourada?

Great review of PM80 finally! Can you please confirm servicabillity of the movement? I got the PRX recently and dont know its longevity...

Interesting....and do you know what is meant with laser regulated movements?

Mestre, o Powermatic 80 silicium também tem roda de escape e âncora em polímero? Ou é somente o Powermatic 80? Pq o Silicium tem 2 jewels a mais!!

Thank you for getting straight to the point

Great video. Thanks for the info. I Just bought the RADO Centrix with cal 770 movements, does it have the polymer escapement ??. I am happy with the accuracy, in fact its more accurate then my Patek 3700 nautilus jumbo.

Hi, I also have a Tissot with this mechanism (C07.111) with this famous "plastic escapement" more precisely this Tissot T0864071104700 and I would like to know (that you were talking about at the end of the video the same performance and accuracy two types of escapement) if it is normal to have a deviation of 13 seconds after 48 hours of use!It is for the first time when I use such a mechanism (automatic) and it seems a lot to me given that I do not have much information on the net about this mechanism and its daily performance ...and this in comparison with another C07 but with normal escapement!Thank you in advance.

if we sell the watch do we wind it by hand how many turns by crown can we do to store 80 hours of power reserve in barrel drum.

So are you saying that a watch like this will have a case of diminishing returns for the accuracy as it approaches its 80hr reserve? Would it be significant?

Such a good video. You’re awesome.

I started to follow the channel because you explain it in a very didactic way even for us lay people. Only now do I know what I really wear on my wrist, I didn't know everything, when I bought my tissot and I'm even more satisfied. And I would like to know if you could tell me how often a review on the powermatic 80 is recommended?

Super helpfull video!

I actually got 88.5 hours on a single charge when I last tested!! I do however notice that the watch can speed up and also slow again when randomly observed over a short period on wrist.

Impressive and informative video! Could you make a video on jewels( the number and it's uses) in mechanical watches.

VERY GOOD CHANEL, CONGRATULATIONs ADRIANO

A self lubricating polymer sounds to me like they're using Delrin (or some variation of it). My experience with that material is that it's extremely durable. If Tissot is using that material for the escapement I don't think long term durability will be a problem.

what can you say about the synthetic scapement's life span on the powermatic C7.111?

Hello Sir. I hope you doing great. I'm looking to buy a automatic watch for my girlfriend. I'm considering two watches 1st one is Tissot Carson Premium Automatic Lady which has ETA2671 and another watch I'm considering is PR100 Powermatic 80 Lady on which I'm getting 50% off. But i wanted to ask which movement is best in both? ETA 2671 or Powermatic 80.111? I want something which may last century. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you Sir.

Are all powermatic 80 movements interchangeable with ETA 2824? Are they the same dimensions on the outside?

Great explanation thank you! Were these movements designed not to be serviced (maintenance service)? Unless you bring the watch to the Tissot official service I don't know if that balance wheel and plastic parts could be adjusted or serviced by a local clock service.

I have a Mido Chronometer Jubilee, with the Powermatic 80. This has the silicon hairspring. Presently this watch was +9 seconds in one month. It’s the most accurate mechanical watch I own. It’s also the least expensive watch I own, but a very large margin. It’s amazing!

Oooooo tá chique em kk parabéns pelo canal já me escrevi aqui também

Wow, best explanation I have ever seen. I have one question, If the plastic escapement gets broken, can it be replaced with a regular escapement?

L888 do has polymer or plastic material?

Excellent video! Have you worked on a C07 movement? Can this movement be serviced by a watchmaker, or does it have to be sent back to the Swatch Group company?

Very informative 😊

I have read that powermatic 80 is not serviceable and you have to send it to tissot factory...is that true?

Thank you for the very useful video. 👍 Can you please comment on the accuracy of Powermatic movement

Hello, Thank for this video) do Longines has plastic material in their movement like Tissot?

Obrigado

The Powermatic branding is also present on Certina watches with this movement. Such as the latest versions of the DS Action Diver Automatics and others.

The silicium and novichron got a metall escapement

As I understand it, the 23 jewel powermatic 80s have the plastic forks. However, the new Tissots such as the tissot gentlemen have the 25 jewel powermatic 80. Do you have any info on whether they brought back the original material or is it still plastic?

super interesting

You gained a subscriber from me. Checked out some of your other vids as well. You can definitely tell you know your horology 👍

How about the Lazer regulation?

Can you please tell me what grade of ETA is the powermatic 80 silicium found in the tissot gentleman?

I don't like plastic escape wheel & pallet fork, but I should try..

What are the disadvantages of the Powermatic 80 from Tissot with a plastic pallet fork

I wonder about the H10 movment in my Hamilton khaki field automatic ? 80 hour power reserve .

A lot of people shtting on the pastic part of the Powermatic 80. Plastic is used in vehicle engines, any complaints with that?

I bought a Certina DS Action Diver with the Powermatic 80 movement and set it to local standard time while still at the AD, Feb28. 3 days later and it has lost just 2 seconds, to say that I'm impressed is an understatement. 😁

tissot gentleman powermatic 80 silicium. Does it have plastic in its movement ?

Greate Video, Can you please advice if Powermatic 80 ( C07.111) also have Polymer escapement ?. Thanks

The movement version with silicium spring clearly says "25-jewells", doesnt that mean metallic escapement, those movements with plastic escapement has 23 jewells?

So everyone... Can this C07.111 be serviced or?

My tissot Gentleman have consequent 3 sec after every 24 h since two weeks everyday use

My PRX Powermatic 80 runs at +2s/d!

A watch with this movement or a seiko 4R or 6R?

No me gusta que bajen las alternancias a 21600, el punto diferenciador con respecto a otros movimientos eran las 28800. Ademas no puedes regularlo por ti mismo...

Olá amigo! Reduzir o diâmetro do eixo do tambor faz com que a energia se concentre em uma área menor, Isso não causa desgaste na ponte? Seus vídeos são ótimos, seus artigos tb. Vc é o relojoeiro mais técnico que conheço na web brasileira e um dos mais técnicos que conheço na web em geral, mundo todo. Pra mim vc é uma espécie de orgulho nacional, hehehe. Continue fazendo vídeos👏👏 Dito isso, escapamento de plástico não da pé não, feio demais, é como ter um bélissimo Puro-sangue inglês com a cabeça de uma capivara.

Here is the link to my video of the Rado cal C07 accuracy test kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sLSCpdhks7TFeXU.html

And saw Longines has the same shock absorber like omega for their balancewheel?

Got one. Super accurate. So disappointment about the plastic parts.

Doesn't Hamilton also use the powermatic 80?

Thank you.

I think ETA could have made a great movement as in free sprung balance with silicone hairspring and more hours but 3hz, no way, plastic paper fork... Hard to regulate at home. Rather get a Japanese 3hz. They should give the customer the option between the P80 and 2824-2

Beware, plastic parts! I wanted to buy a Tissot for the Powermatic 80 movement, but the escapement is made of plastic! So I decided to buy a Mido Caliber 80, with the same movement, but with steel escape wheel and anchor, with two rubies at the ends of anchor. 

I look at cut-price Tissot watches online and I can get a watch with a COSC quartz movement for less than a very similar watch with a Powermatic 80. It’s always cheaper. I don’t like replacing watch batteries, and maybe the quartz movement isn’t really that accurate… but it’s still likely to be much more accurate than a Powermatic 80, which also is a 3 Hz movement…

The price of Tissot watches with c07 movement are so cheap in the market these days, they really become a disposable watches, as service might cost more than the actual watches in price. Especially when Tissot takes regulator pin off the movement, so you need specially tool to adjust the rate.

So you can't regulate this movement by your self ? My wife Tissot powermatic is way of -35sek/day.

Thank you for this video. Never buying one of these pieces of crap.

I hate how Tissot is deliberately obstructive to info on which powermatic movement is actually in your watch.

It is not serviceable so any $50 casio will last more than this plastic parts watch.

Tissot powermatic 80, C07.111 (23 jewels) Mido caliber 80, C07.621 (25 jewels) The Mido movement is better! 💯
