TGIF: What is the Most Affordable Powermatic watch?

I noticed something interesting the last time I searched Amazon for the most affordable watch with a Powermatic 80 automatic movement. This time lowest priced Powermatic was a Certina rather than a Tissot! Behold, the Certina DS Camaino Automatic. It rolls in at well less than $400.

The Certina DS Camaino is sized well for the business casual world of work with a 38mm diameter case that is 9.85mm thick. The leather strap is 19mm wide. The date window is placed at 6 o'clock and is discreetly sized. The caseback is solid and the watch offers 100-meter water resistance. The watch has a stainless steel case and a sapphire crystal.

Swatch group may have pulled a switcharoo when it comes to who has the lowest priced watch with a Powermatic 80, but buyers will benefit from a Swiss-made watch from a quality manufacturer with a long history.

If the horological world has a fishing anology, it's waiting for Swiss watches to become truly affordable. Not $7500 is affordable, but actually affordable for almost everyone. One of the brands that I watch is Tissot. I wait and I wait and when the price of a Tissot Automatic watch drops below $400, I tell all my readers.  Well, I'm glad to announce that the price of a Tissot Luxury watch with a Powermatic 80 movement has dropped to a little under $400.

Overall, this looks like a well constructed Swiss watch.  Usually Tissot watches with the Powermatic 80 command are far more expensive.  That's why you have to get them when the getting is good! Check out this watch using my Amazon Affiliate link below:
