IN TUNE WITH THE TIMES
With its timeless design and its high-performing Swiss Made movement visible via the sapphire-crystal caseback, these two novel references make the PRX even more appealing.
With its PRX model, a reinterpretation of a famous 1978 watch, Tissot has pulled off a masterstroke. This piece with its resolutely sporty-chic style, originally rolled out in 40 mm diameter, was then showcased with a more versatile 35 mm diameter variation. This size was perfect for any lady’s or gent’s wrist. All that remained was for the brand from Le Locle to come up with the right adornments to complete the winning combo. The first colored versions proposed met this expectation. And, they were a huge success. The recent releases continue in the same direction. The checkerboard-patterned dial dresses up in fashionable hues, as seen in the two novel PRX 35mm Powermatic 80 watches unveiled this summer.
The first PRX 35mm goes for a total warm-toned gold PVD look. The second reference combines steel with refreshing ice blue. This daringly-stylish duo is worn on a fully-coordinated bracelet integrated in the case and attached by a folding clasp. These pieces are still driven by the Powermatic 80 caliber. This selfwinding movement stands out through its performance. Thanks to its NivachronTM balance spring, it’s insensitive to the negative effects of magnetic fields. What’s more, it delivers a comfortable power reserve of 80 hours. All these characteristics are a nod to the collection’s name. PR means “Precise and Robust”. X highlights its ability to take on the seas and oceans in its stride to depths of 100 meters.
