Tissot PRX Chronograph automatic watch blue dial steel bracelet 42 mm

The pitch

A few months after the success of the new generation T-Classic PRX, Tissot is reissuing its model, this time adding the chronograph function powered by an automatic calibre! A small leap in time for this mythical watch from the 70s.

Some history

It was at the end of the 1960s that Tissot took advantage of the wind of liberation from standard shapes to propose watches with trendy colours and a pop design. It was not until 1978 that the PRX collection was born, with a tonneau-shaped case, a smooth round bezel and a quartz movement, all carefully integrated into a steel bracelet. It was only a few years later that the brand decided to register the name PRX: "P R" for Precise and Robust and "X" or 10 in Roman numerals for the water resistance of the watch at 10 ATM (10 bars or 100m).

The collection grows

Until now, Tissot has presented its PRX range in quartz, in automatic with their emblematic Calibre 80 with different case openings ranging from 35 to 40 mm. The collection is expanding with this new chronograph version featuring a vertical satin blue dial with three white sub-counters and a date window between 4 and 5 o'clock. A reliable and robust Valjoux A05.H31 movement with a power reserve of up to 60 hours powers this watch. This 42 mm model is available with a white dial and blue sub-counters and a silver dial and black sub-counters with PVD hands.
