Product Information

Full details

The Tissot T-Classic Gentleman Powermatic 80 Silicium is an elegant and versatile watch for individuals seeking a sophisticated timepiece suitable for both formal and casual occasions. Its key benefit is the impressive 80-hour power reserve and durable construction, offering reliability and style. A potential consideration is its water resistance, limited to 5 bar (50 meters), making it unsuitable for deep water activities. This watch features a 40mm stainless steel case, an 18K yellow gold bezel, a black dial with a date display, and a reliable Powermatic 80 movement with a silicon balance spring.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the power reserve of the Powermatic 80 movement?

The Powermatic 80 movement has an impressive power reserve of approximately 80 hours.

Is the 18K yellow gold bezel solid gold?

Yes, the description indicates a solid 18K yellow gold bezel, adding a luxurious touch to the watch.

Can I wear this watch for swimming?

No, the watch has a water resistance of 5 bar (50 meters), which is suitable for splashes and rain but not for swimming or diving.

How do I maintain the accuracy of an automatic watch?

For consistent accuracy, wear the watch regularly. If not worn daily, manual winding every few days or when the watch stops will help maintain its power reserve and accuracy.

What is the benefit of a silicium balance spring?

A silicium balance spring offers enhanced resistance to magnetic fields and temperature variations, leading to improved timekeeping accuracy and greater durability compared to traditional metal springs.

What is the case diameter of this watch?

The case diameter is 40mm.

What type of crystal is used to protect the dial?

The watch is protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystal glass.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped.

If the watch has stopped, it may have run out of power. Manually wind the crown clockwise 30-40 times or wear the watch for at least 8 hours to build up the power reserve.

Inaccurate timekeeping.

Automatic watches can vary in accuracy. If significant deviation occurs, ensure the watch is fully wound. If the issue persists, consider having it regulated by a certified watchmaker. The silicium balance spring helps maintain accuracy, but external factors can still influence it.

Date is not changing correctly.

Ensure you are not setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement. If the date is set correctly within this window, allow the watch to complete a full 24-hour cycle. If the problem persists, consult a watchmaker.

Strap feels uncomfortable or worn.

Leather straps can soften with wear. If the strap becomes uncomfortable or shows signs of wear, consider replacing it with a new strap of similar width (20mm).

Cons

  • Limited water resistance (50 meters) restricts water-related activities.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This is an automatic watch, meaning it powers itself through the motion of your wrist. To start, if the watch has stopped, gently shake it for about 30 seconds to engage the rotor. You can also manually wind the crown (located at the 3 o'clock position) by turning it clockwise about 30-40 times until you feel resistance. Be careful not to over-wind.

Compatibility:

  • The black leather strap is a standard size and can be replaced with other compatible 20mm leather, fabric, or rubber straps if desired.
  • The watch is compatible with standard watch care tools for strap changes or cleaning.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Clean the leather strap with a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner, ensuring it's dry before wearing.
  • Winding: For daily wear, the natural movement of your wrist should keep the watch wound. If not worn daily, wind it manually every few days to maintain accuracy, especially if it has stopped.
  • Water Resistance: While water-resistant to 50 meters, avoid prolonged immersion in water, contact with salt water, or exposure to high-pressure water jets. Always ensure the crown is pushed in or screwed down (if applicable) before exposure to moisture.
  • Storage: Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong magnetic fields when not in use.
