Who should buy which.

The Le Locle Powermatic 80 Blue: Someone who wants a slim, traditional automatic for work and occasions, with the convenience of a long power reserve. Choose the PRX or Gentleman if you want 100 m water resistance and a sportier everyday 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.

Water resistance is 30 m, so treat it as splash-proof rather than a swimming watch. Roman numerals and a bracelet make a formal statement that will not suit everyone’s daily style.

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.
