Sharp dress watch
Courier delayed the box by two days. Watch itself fits my wrist great.
The watch
The Tissot Le Locle Powermatic 80 is a 39.3mm dress watch with a silver dial, powered by a Powermatic 80 automatic movement. Expect 30 m water resistance and a sapphire crystal. It belongs to Hour I, Minimalist Dress, in our Boardroom season: a natural choice for client meetings, weddings and evenings that call for a jacket.
Named for Tissot's home town in the Swiss Jura, the Le Locle Powermatic 80 is a classical dress watch dressed on supple brown leather.
A polished 39.3mm stainless steel case surrounds a silver Roman-numeral dial with a guilloche centre and date window, while the brown leather strap lends warmth and heritage character.
The self-winding Powermatic 80 movement stores up to 80 hours of power reserve and keeps time across a weekend off the wrist, on show through the exhibition caseback.
Sapphire crystal protects the dial, the leather strap and butterfly clasp keep it comfortable, and 30 metre (3 ATM) water resistance handles rain and hand-washing.
For the man who prefers the softness of leather and the quiet formality of a silver dial.
New, boxed and warrantied — ships within the US.
Good to know
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.
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.
The case measures 39.3mm — a versatile size that suits most wrists (roughly 15.5-19 cm / 6.1-7.5 in). Our watch size guide (/pages/watch-size-guide) explains how to measure your wrist.
It has a silver dial, under a sapphire crystal.
Yes, the dial is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and an exhibition caseback shows the automatic movement inside.
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.
On the ChronoSeasons dial it sits at Hour I — Minimalist Dress, part of the Boardroom season, and suits client meetings, weddings and evenings that call for a jacket.
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.

Owners say
Courier delayed the box by two days. Watch itself fits my wrist great.
The stock brown embossed leather strap with the rose gold butterfly clasp broke in after two wears. Because it uses a 19mm lug width, I also picked up a smooth burgundy cordovan strap to swap in for winter, which sets off the rose gold case nicely.
Wore this to two weddings and several dinners over the past month. The 39.3mm rose gold case slides easily under a dress shirt cuff and looks very traditional. In a dead-quiet bedroom at night you can hear a faint whir from the automatic rotor, which is normal for this caliber.
Appreciate your feedback, Blake! You're spot on that the ball-bearing rotor on the Powermatic 80 can make a soft sound in a quiet room, and we're glad it's serving you well at formal events.
Looks great with brown dress shoes and chinos for client meetings. The silver textured dial catches the light nicely, though the small date window at 3 o'clock takes a second to read without my glasses.
Thanks for the review, Bradley! That rose gold and brown leather combination is hard to beat with business casual attire.
The rose gold PVD finish on the 39.3mm case is evenly applied and matches the indices cleanly. Checked the Powermatic 80 movement over ten days and it stayed within four seconds of atomic time. The deployant clasp on the brown strap clicks shut positively.
