This feature not only enhances visual interest but also serves as a testament to the precision and artistry of Swiss automatic movement.
- Powermatic 80 Movement: Powered by Tissot’s advanced Powermatic 80 caliber, this watch offers an extended 80-hour power reserve. This means it can run for over three days without being worn, reducing the need for frequent adjustments and ensuring reliable timekeeping even after periods of inactivity.
