FAQs

What does 'Powermatic 80' mean?

Powermatic 80 refers to the automatic movement powering the watch, which offers an extended power reserve of approximately 80 hours when fully wound.

How do I wind the watch?

You can wind the watch by wearing it daily, allowing your wrist movements to power the automatic movement. For a full wind, turn the crown clockwise about 30-40 times while it is in its closed position.

Is this watch waterproof?

The watch has a degree of water resistance (typically 30-50 meters), suitable for protection against accidental splashes. It is not designed for swimming, diving, or prolonged immersion in water.

Can I change the watch strap?

Yes, the watch is compatible with standard watch straps of the appropriate lug width. This allows you to customize the look of your timepiece.

How often does this watch need servicing?

Automatic watches generally require servicing every 3 to 5 years to ensure optimal performance and the longevity of the internal components.

What is the significance of the 'open heart' design?

The 'open heart' design features a cut-out on the dial, typically around the 12 o'clock position, which allows you to see the balance wheel and other parts of the automatic movement in action.

What material is the case made of?

The case is constructed from stainless steel with PVD rose gold plating, combining durability with a refined aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped working

Ensure the watch is fully wound by manually winding the crown 30-40 times or wearing it for an extended period. Check if the crown is fully pushed in.

Watch is losing or gaining time significantly

Minor variations are normal for mechanical watches. If the deviation is substantial (more than a few minutes per day), the watch may require regulation by a qualified watchmaker or servicing.

Date is not changing correctly

Ensure you are not setting the time between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the date-changing mechanism. Consult the user manual for correct date setting procedures.

Clasp is difficult to open or close

Gently operate the clasp. If it seems jammed, inspect for debris. If the issue persists, it may require adjustment by a jeweler.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional 80-hour power reserve for extended wearability between windings.
  • Classic and elegant aesthetic suitable for various occasions.
  • Visible automatic movement through the open heart dial and case back.
  • Durable construction with stainless steel and PVD rose gold elements.
  • Renowned Tissot brand heritage and Swiss quality.

Cons

  • 39mm case size may be perceived as small by modern watch standards.
  • Limited water resistance makes it unsuitable for aquatic activities.
  • Automatic movements require periodic servicing to maintain optimal performance.
  • PVD coating can potentially wear over time with heavy use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is an automatic watch, meaning it is powered by the movement of your wrist. To start, manually wind the crown about 30-40 turns clockwise until you feel resistance. Alternatively, wearing the watch for several hours will wind it. If the watch has stopped, set the time by pulling the crown out to the time-setting position and rotating it until the correct time is displayed. Ensure the crown is pushed back in to maintain water resistance.

Compatibility: The watch is designed to be worn on the wrist. The stainless steel and PVD rose gold bracelet is secured with a folding clasp. It is compatible with standard watch straps if you wish to change the look, though ensure the lug width is compatible.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Winding: For best performance, wear the watch daily or wind it manually if it has stopped.
  • Water Resistance: Avoid exposing the watch to water beyond its stated resistance rating. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with moisture.
  • Servicing: Automatic watches require servicing approximately every 3-5 years to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the movement.
