Who should buy which.

The Gentleman Powermatic 80 Silicium Gold Bezel Blue: A buyer who wants a formal Swiss automatic for suits and occasions, with a gold detail. Choose the all-steel Gentleman or a PRX if you want a more casual, less expensive watch.

The Gentleman Powermatic 80 Silicium Ice Blue: A buyer who wants one automatic that looks right in a meeting, on the weekend and on holiday. Choose the PRX if you want the integrated-bracelet look, or the Le Locle if you mainly need a slim formal watch.

Before you order.

At 5 bar it is a dress watch, not a swimming watch, and the price is well above the rest of our Tissot coverage. Watches of America lists the thickness at 11 mm; Tissot lists 10.64 mm.

At 11.5 mm it is thicker than the Le Locle, and the 21 mm lug width narrows your aftermarket strap choices compared with the more common 20 or 22 mm.
