This modern beauty has such a classic vintage vibe!
Thanks Willard, Certina offers great Swiss quality and beauty, if look around can find them at an affordable price too.
That DS is classy as hell! Certina has been looking good to me lately. I've done very little research 🙃 but does their powermatic 80 movement have a plastic escapement like the Tissots? I doesn't really bother me but I'm definitely curious.

Ralland, a good question. Not found a direct answer, however, one of the contributors on "watchuseek" states "Other Swatch Group brands (Hamilton, Certina, Mido, Rado) have opted for the C07.611 with the traditional jeweled escapement and Nivachron spring." So not 100% sure https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/powermatic-80-c07-111s-plastic-escapement-a-deal-breaker.5490263/

Thank you for the info! I'm still trying to figure the best avenues to go down for watch information.

Google or similar is always first base for me.
