About this watch
Named for Tissot's birthplace in the Swiss Jura, the Le Locle Powermatic 80 brings classical watchmaking to an easy black leather strap.
Design
A polished 39.3mm stainless steel case frames a silver Roman-numeral dial with a guilloche centre and date window, set on a smart black leather strap.
Movement
The self-winding Powermatic 80 movement banks up to 80 hours of power reserve, staying accurate across a weekend and displayed through the exhibition caseback.
Wear & water resistance
Sapphire crystal keeps the dial clear, the leather strap and butterfly clasp add comfort, and 30 metre (3 ATM) water resistance copes with rain and hand-washing.

Questions & answers
Is the Le Locle Powermatic 80 automatic or does it need a battery?
It is a self-winding Swiss automatic. The Powermatic 80 movement winds from the motion of your wrist and holds up to 80 hours of power reserve, so it keeps running for about three days when set aside.
Can I wear it in water?
It is water resistant to 30 metres (3 ATM), which covers rain and hand-washing. As a dress watch it should not be worn for showering, swimming or diving.
How big is the watch and will 39.3mm fit me?
The case is 39.3mm across, a classic mid-size that suits most wrists and slides easily under a cuff.
Is the crystal scratch resistant?
Yes, the dial is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and an exhibition caseback shows the automatic movement inside.
Can I change the leather strap?
Yes. The leather strap is held by standard spring bars, so it can be swapped for another strap of the same lug width whenever you like.
Is this a genuine Tissot and is it under warranty?
Every watch is an authentic Swiss Made Tissot, brand-new with its original box and papers, and covered by a 2-year international warranty. Returns are accepted in line with our store policy.
Customer reviews
The Le Locle with the silver dial on a brown leather strap is the quintessential Swiss dress watch. Roman numerals are beautifully done.
The Powermatic 80 is a workhorse. I can take it off on Friday and it's still running perfectly for work on Monday. Elegant 39.3mm case.
The watch head is a 5/5, but giving it 4 stars overall because the brown leather strap took about a week of wear to really soften up.
My children got me this for Father's Day. The exhibition caseback showing the automatic movement is a wonderful touch. Very proud to wear it.
It slides perfectly under a shirt cuff. If you need a traditional dress watch that carries real watchmaking heritage, buy the Le Locle.
