T1374071135100 Tissot PRX Powermatic 80

Description

In 1978, Tissot created a quartz model characterized by a sleek case, narrow indexes, and a steel bracelet. Its wide, horizontal lugs, typical of the era, were perfectly integrated into the flat, tonneau-shaped case.

A few years later, Tissot registered the name PRX. "PR" stands for "precise" and "robust." The "X" represents the Roman numeral ten and the pressure of 10 bar, which corresponds to a depth of 100 meters, to which the watch remains water-resistant.

In 2021, Tissot presented the new PRX as a modern interpretation of its predecessor.

The 316L stainless steel case of the Tissot PRX has a diameter of 40 mm. It features a slight tonneau shape and is adorned with a slim, round bezel. The sides alternate between vertically brushed, rounded finishes and polished facets.

The Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 features a honeycomb dial with nickel-plated indexes and hands. The case lines extend directly into the bracelet, without the traditional lugs. Its most striking feature is its series of large links spanning its entire width. Its flexibility and suppleness make it a true success of ergonomic design and provide an exceptional wearing comfort. The satin-finish on the outer surfaces is just as meticulously executed as the polishing on the inner surfaces.

The hands of the Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 are coated with SuperLumiNova® and are positioned very closely to each other. This allows the dial to be brought closer to the crystal. The optical effect achieved by Tissot's designers makes the watch case appear even flatter and slimmer than it actually is.

The watch features a scratch-resistant, anti-reflective sapphire crystal and a mineral glass case back. Its Swiss-made automatic movement with up to 80 hours of power reserve is equipped with a Nivachron balance spring, known for its outstanding resistance to magnetic fields.

This version of the Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 features a blue dial with indices and a 316L stainless steel bracelet with a butterfly clasp with pushers.
