The integrated bracelet sports watch since the 1970s has seen its highs and lows, but demand is consistently stable. The PRX itself has been a strong budget contender since its revival around 3 years ago of its own 1978 original.
This 40mm variant refines the formula further, employing a silver dial complemented with a rose gold PVD coated bezel that provided vibrance to the otherwise sharply defined case and bracelet. Beneath the surface, the Powermatic 80 calibre provides a practical 3 day power reserve, a technical specification uncommon at its price point.
Established in 1853 in Le Locle, the heart of Swiss watchmaking, Tissot has built its legacy on the motto "Innovators by Tradition." From its inception, the brand distinguished itself by industrializing the watchmaking process, enabling the mass production of high-quality, practical timepieces. This forward-thinking approach was evident from its very first creations, such as the dual time zone pocket watch, which set the stage for a history defined by functional and accessible horological advancements for a global audience.
As a cornerstone of the Swatch Group, Tissot benefits from state-of-the-art manufacturing while remaining true to its core identity. A Tissot watch represents the pinnacle of Swiss-made value, offering a rare combination of authentic heritage, reliable engineering, and timeless design. To own a Tissot is to wear more than just a watch; it is to own a piece of a legacy dedicated to the democratization of Swiss innovation, making it the perfect choice for both new enthusiasts and seasoned collectors.
