Can you over wind a automatic watch?
In most cases, no, you cannot overwind a modern automatic watch. The smart design on these winding mechanisms allow for any excess tension to be released as the spring slips inside of the barrel.

You’ll find both movements in Tissot’s present collections. Some higher-than-average frequency automatic calibers, such as the ETA 2836-2 that beats 28,800 times an hour and is available in Tissot Visodate models provide an elegant gliding motion of the second’s hand, making them one of the most sought-after sweeping second hand watches.
Is the Powermatic 80 movement a good replacement for AP divers?
I know that one of the sought after conversions to make the AP divers slow beat has been the Powermatic 80 movement “”cannibalized” from Tissot watches. This seems like a great fix, slow beat, new movement, 80 hour power reserve, and best of all, it’s a direct drop in replacement. However, there is one big problem.
Where is the ETA caliber number on a Tissot Powermatic 80?
Tissot offers almost no information about the Powermatic 80 or the ETA base calibers. The official Tissot site provides large images of each movement, but they do a good job of hiding the ETA caliber designation near the balance wheel. The image above was one of the few available with a blurry glimpse at the base caliber number.
