Watch Insider: Tissot Offers Automatic 80-Hour Movements at Affordable Prices
At first glance, Tissot’s Powermatic 80 automatic caliber appears to be just another ETA movement. But as I reveal in this article from my blog, Watch-Insider, that impression is way off the mark. Much like Swatch’s new Sistem 51 caliber, this one represents another quiet watchmaking revolution.Tissot has been working hand in hand with ETA (both are owned by the Swatch Group) on the research and development of this recently introduced automatic caliber.

At first I was thinking to purchase a 10 days model to complement my little collection, but after this test I'm not that convinced anymore.
