Tissot Le Locle Powermatic 80 - References, Prices and Owners' Reviews

First watch for me. The price-quality ratio was really great when I bought it (€470.00 in December 2019) whereas now it is not necessarily interesting anymore, the prices at Tissot having increased.

A beautiful guilloché (clou de Paris?), beautiful hands and then this ETA 2824-2 with the PowerMatic80 is really a comfort.

For my first automatic watch, I wanted to go for a Swiss and affordable watch. The Tissot brand immediately came to mind and the Tissot Le Locle finally ticked all my boxes at the time: black dial, a perfect diameter (39mm) and a reasonable price (€470 at the time). The watch does not raise the crowds or attract attention, but that is exactly what I was looking for with this watch. Its major flaw in my opinion: its Roman numerals, of which I am not the biggest fan.

I go to the store with my money in my pocket and after two hours in this store in Aix en Provence, having tried on a dozen models, the choic…

The well-crafted transparent back reveals the Powermatic 80 movement, derived from the classic ETA 2824. This movement has animated the forums in recent years, with its supposedly plastic parts that di…

How to describe the Tissot Le Locle powermatic 80 objectively… Well, it's impossible for me, because I'm a fan of this watch for several reasons: -The aesthetics => Black watch, black leather strap, black dial background, with its white hands and "Le Locle" written in beautiful period writing, everything is just sublime. The back of the dial is just as sublime, with the detail of the screen printing and the transparency of the case. I'm a fan of the sobriety of this watch and its elegance, it's beautiful and goes…
