While Tissot is a storied Swiss watchmaker, having been founded in 1880, right now they are best known for their line of sexy, 70s-inspired sports watches called PRX. A throwback to an era of bell bottoms, big cars, record players, etc… the PRXs feature an “integrated bracelet” design, meaning the case and bracelet or strap seamlessly flow into each other. A sleek-looking concept, it became the rage in the 70s, exuding a certain luxurious bravado, and had a recent resurgence. The PRX executes the concept with style to spare, all at an affordable price point.
Featuring a stainless 40mm steel case with a mix of expertly executed brushed and polished surfaces, the PRX has a classic barrel shape with faceted sides that cleanly flow into a tapering bracelet or rubber strap. A short 39.5mm length, 10.4mm height, and integrated bracelet design allow for a comfortable fit on wrists large and small. The dial features lume-filled batons on top of a textured surface in a variety of colors for a classic and attractive look. Riding the line between dress and sport, the Tissot PRX is a versatile watch that can be worn for any occasion.
Inside of the Tissot PRX Quartz is a F06.115 Swiss caliber. A 3-jewel movement, it features hour, minute, seconds, date, and EOL (end-of-life indication). An accurate movement, it should last multiple years on a single battery.
