The Tissot PRX series watches adopt the widely embraced luxury sports watch style, complemented by commendable hardware performance, all while maintaining an approachable price point starting from just a few thousand yuan. This aligns with the brand’s consistent and customer-friendly positioning, earning it deep admiration from watch enthusiasts. The series has gained immense popularity in the past couple of years, as evidenced by the overwhelming presence of PRX in watch postings on our Tissot forum. Today, I bring up PRX to share my admiration, particularly for the ice blue model that we recently captured through real-life pictures.
Currently, the PRX series sees a continuous release of new models, predominantly featuring new dial colors and additional timing functions. This approach diversifies the product line, offering watch enthusiasts a broader selection of styles. Notable among this year’s eye-catching options is the hero blue quartz model, whose true color resembles Tiffany blue, and the all-night luminous dial that appears ‘ordinary’ but instantly lights up in dim conditions. However, if I were to pick the most visually appealing, my personal favorite would undoubtedly be the new PRX ice blue watch.
Ice blue and salmon dials have surged in popularity over the past two years. The ice blue color exudes a cool and elegant visual charm. When employed as a dial, it imparts a particularly refreshing appearance to the watch. In my opinion, the actual watch surpasses the greenish tone depicted in the official pictures. Moreover, Tissot’s collaboration with a waffle pattern dial for this PRX further accentuates the dial’s texture.
The distinctive embossed checkered design serves as the signature feature of the mechanical model PRX, while the quartz model offers a choice between vertical brushed and sunray dials. The checkered pattern adds visual depth to the dial, with many watch enthusiasts considering it more sophisticated than the sunburst design. Positioned at 3 o’clock, there’s a calendar window on the dial; however, a suggestion for enhancement could be incorporating an ice blue background for the calendar, which might enhance its appeal.
The size of the watch is 40 mm and the thickness is 12 mm. This watch is very compatible with wrists of different thicknesses.
PRX watch cases boast a predominant composition of exquisite fine steel. The overarching design elegantly inherits elements from the original PRX watch crafted in the 1970s. Meticulous attention has been devoted to refining the case, resulting in a sleek and polished aesthetic. The front features a refined vertical brushing technique, while the polished edges on both sides adhere to a classic combination often employed in luxury sports watches, elevating the overall opulence of the timepiece.
At the summit of the crown on the opposite side of the watch, a Tissot T logo stands proudly. The tactile experience of adjustment and winding is finely calibrated, striking a harmonious balance that avoids any concerns of being overly loose or tight. The entire timepiece boasts a commendable water resistance of up to 100 meters. However, as we’ve previously discussed, a notable feature in the picture is the protruding design of the movement section on the back cover. Initially, when first donned, there is a subtle unfamiliarity in the wear, yet after adorning it on two occasions, this peculiarity gradually dissipates. Upon acclimatization, it imparts no discernible impact on the overall sensation of wearing the watch.
The rear facade of the watch embraces a transparent design, allowing a captivating view through the sapphire glass bottom cover. Here, the Powermatic 80 self-winding movement takes center stage. Derived from ETA and enhanced, this movement boasts 23 jewel bearings, oscillating at a frequency of 21,600 times per hour. Its remarkable feature is a substantial power reserve of up to 80 hours, reaching a level that seamlessly accommodates a weekend’s wear. This attribute proves particularly significant, as many watch enthusiasts may reserve their PRX for daily work commutes, reserving other timepieces for weekend activities. The convenience of not requiring time adjustments after a weekend hiatus adds practicality to the watch.
Furthermore, the movement incorporates a Nivachron anti-magnetic hairspring, adept at shielding against magnetic field interference in the routine course of daily life. This thoughtful addition ensures the watch’s reliability and precision, enhancing its overall functionality.
The integrated stainless steel bracelet that comes with the watch is equipped with a folding clasp. We can see that each link is brushed and the links are also polished. The upper hand fits the wrist quite well.
Summary:
The essence behind the acronym PRX encapsulates precision and robustness, with the Roman numeral X symbolizing 10, denoting an impressive waterproof capacity of 10 bar or 100 meters. Upon scrutinizing the tangible performance of these attributes, the nomenclature of the watch appears aptly chosen. True to its name, PRX exhibits remarkable durability. In a recent video produced in June, we explored the watch’s capability to withstand aquatic environments, and I personally put it to the test. Submerging into the sea for both diving and swimming, the watch demonstrated flawless performance, emerging without a hint of any issues.
