Kao što sam već više puta pisao, powermatic mehanizmi su se za sada pokazali za sasvim pouzdane, mada su pri tome razdelili čak i stručnjake na one, koji ih potpuno odobravaju i na one, koji na njih gledaju sa velikom dozom sumnje. To je sve zbog toga, što im je osnova ETA C07.111, koji u sebi sadrži nekoliko plastičnih delova. Nisam stručan, da kažem, koji su to tačno ali imao sam sreću, da upoznam nekoliko odličnih stručnjaka i oni su dosta skeptični. Kada im pomeneš plastiku u Lemaniiji 1873, koja važi za jednog od boljih mehanizama uopšte (osnova za Omegu 1861), doživeo sam odmahivanje rukom, da ne mešam legendu sa Swatchom.
Sa druge strane, proizvođači raznih verzija powermatic mehanizama su se zaštitili na taj način, da je zbog specifike onemogućeno servisiranje u masovnom smislu, nego je potrebno servis i kvarove popravljati kod njih odnosno kod njihovih zvaničnih servisera. Gore pomenuti kažu, da se to uopšte ne popravlja, nego se jednostavno menja i to je za njih neke vrste uvrede njihovog zanata...pa valjda odatle dolazi taj skepticizam.
Dok se još dalo doći na Hamilton University sajt, uspeo sam, da skinem promene, koje su uneli u svoj H trio:
H-10, H-30and H-40, a trio of new Hamilton movements developed with ETA , boasts atypical power reserve of 80 hours.
The following elements have been modified:
- The entire kinematic chain has been refined, from the barrel to the escapement
- The escapement regulator has been suppressed, facilitating optimalreliability and precision
- The main spring has been improved to increase a typical power reserve of 80hours.
- The mono-block rotor is distinctively skeletonized with an “H” shape andaviation-inspired cut-outs, a signature of individualization.
H-10 Hours, Minutes, Seconds, Date function
H-30 Hours, Minutes, Seconds, Weekday and Date function
H-40 Hours, Minutes, Seconds, Weekday and Date function

As others have mentioned, this modified H-10 has a lower frequency than thestandard ETA it's based on, but personally, I'd much rather have the H-10'srare 80 hour power reserve over the ETA's higher frequency.

Wyjątkowy mechanizm. Certina DS Powermatic 80 | Zegarki
Modern mechanisms and the use of uniquematerials are more and more common in this conservative, mechanical part of thewatch industry. Among the companies that use such solutions in their watches,Certina has joined with the mechanism used for the first time in the DSPowermatic 80 model marked C07.111
Despite the development and ubiquity ofelectronics, for watches - watches, the broad and most prestigious part of themarket is mechanical watches. Among them, the most appreciated are those whichare characterized by an unusual mechanism construction, additional equipment -used to measure various sizes associated with the passage of time, or anextensive array of indications, allowing reading calendars, astronomical orother data.
Unusual design of the watch mechanism canimprove its functionality, accuracy or enhance the visual impression.
In view of the functioning of the watch asan item of clothing, it is necessary to change the watch when changing clothes.Usually we use another style during the week and another on Saturdays andSundays, so we also change the watch type at this time. For this reason, a veryinteresting and useful property of watches is the longer walk reserve. Itconsists of the ability to maintain the mechanism in continuous operation forthree or more days without the need to turn it (also without the need for awatch with automatic tension).
This precisely designed, untypicalstructure features the C07.111 watch of the Certina DS Powermatic 80. With thehelp of capture elements (snapper and anchor) made of synthetic material, the energy loss of this module, due tofriction forces, was reduced. A much weaker driving spring. Such a spring ismade of thinner steel tape, and this, in turn, allows the longer spring to befitted - providing a longer running mechanism,
Suma sumarum. Ništa konkretno nije loše napisano protiv ovih noviteta. Jedino je to, što sam na svakoga, koji zna više od mene o satovima, došao do zaključka, da prednost daju klasičnim formama. Zapravo nešto slično, kao usporredba ETA sa Selittom. Niko od njih nije ništa loše rekao protiv Selitte. Poznato je, da je Selitta preko 40 godina pravila Etine mehanizme, zato imaju sav know-how i tu nema nikakve dileme. Ali kada bi mogli da biraju, svako od njih bi posegnuo za Etom, jer ETA ima za nijansu bolje materijale. Ali radi se samo o nijansi.
Zato i ja, pod uticajem onih, koji više znaju od mene, uvek radije uzimam nešto što je provereno i dugo godina prisutno. To ne znači, da je i bolje. Ali, kad je Hamilton ove godine reizdao legendarni diver Frogman, koji sadrži H10 - nisam imao nikakvu dilemu. Sada je kod mene.
Salu na stranu, sacekajmo odgovor pa da stavimo tacku na ovu misteriju.
