If you are thinking of this watch. May I suggest this other watch that I linked below. It is similar in appearance but less. The fit and finish of this other watch is amazing and in all honesty is the best bang for your buck watch I've ever seen for $350. It has history, 80 hour power reserve, sapphire crystal, in house movement and the icing on the cake is the COSC certification. If I wasn't saving for another watch I'd be all over this Tissot Chronometer. https://www.jomashop.com/tissot-watch-t086-408-11-031-00.html

JdjungThat luxury automatic you linked is the right move. Amazing price/value.
It sounds like large numbers of the Powermatic 80 caliber could potentially pass COSC (https://watch-insider.com/news/tissot-powermatic-80-automatic-caliber-ushering-era-ultra-precise-low-cost-mechanical-movements/). Granted the author is "citing" rumor/hearsay , though with the high-tech escapement being laser calibrated and fixed (non-adjustable) by computers and robots in the factory, it's a reasonable conclusion that Tissot could achieve very high consistency in quality + grade. It's interesting to know that a Powermatic 80 could likely pass COSC, whether it actually has the stamp or not.
