Why the Powermatic 80 matters
Tissot’s Powermatic 80 isn’t just a stretched ETA 2824—it’s a modernized calibre with a silicon-alloy Nivachron balance spring that shrugs off laptop magnets and delivers a true 80-hour reserve. You can set the watch down on Friday and it’s still ticking Monday morning.
Sizing guide: 35 mm vs 40 mm
Because the PRX design flows straight into the bracelet, it wears larger than the case diameter suggests.
35 mm: Ideal for wrists down to ~5.5 in / 14 cm and those who love vintage proportions.
40 mm: Better wrist presence and a larger canvas for that gold tapisserie dial.
Styling tips
Gold PRX models transition effortlessly from a navy blazer to a white T-shirt. Swap the bracelet for a chocolate-brown nubuck strap in autumn, or a black tropic rubber strap in summer to accentuate the gold tones.
Is the Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 Gold solid gold?
The full-gold versions use high-quality PVD over steel. The steel-and-gold model is the only one with a solid 18 K rose-gold bezel.
How accurate is the Powermatic 80 movement?
Expect roughly ±10 seconds per day out of the box. Many owners report even better performance after the movement settles.
Does the PRX Gold hold its value?
While resale is steady, these are bought for wrist time, not speculation. The limited 18 K bezel version should retain value best thanks to its scarcity.
