Tissot, with its PRX, shows itself to be a watchmaking company capable of combining style and tradition, innovation and quality, all in one price competitive.
Il Tissot PRX it is the reinterpretation of a model launched by Tissot in the seventies, on the wave of angular shapes and the alternation between shiny and satin surfaces which was appreciated in the watchmaking industry of the time, and whose standard-bearer it was Gerald Genta. The choice for the movement falls, in the original model, on the quartz, an innovative system at the time: a breaking choice also underlined in design disruptive.
But why call this watch PRX? The acronym stands for “Precise, Robust and waterproof to ten (X in Roman numeral) atmospheres”. A clock which can be a daily companion, therefore, for those who want to bring with them the charm of the Seventies, which are increasingly coming back into fashion. But the PRX di Tissot is not just an example of neo vintage: There is also a lot of substance in this timepiece.
The ability to Tissot to please everyone is evident from the fact that, for the new PRX, dual power supply has been foreseen. The version with a quartz movement, with a slightly thinner case, was launched first. Later, it was added to the range PRX model “Powermatic 80”, which uses the homonym movement supplied by AGE, Part of Swatch Group which also includes Tissot. This movement guarantees excellent precision and eighty hours of power reserve. The two versions are easily distinguishable from dial, brushed That of the Tissot PRX al quartz, a squares That of the PRX Powermatic 80.
With the company Tissot PRX, la maison di Le Locle demonstrates its ability to keep up with the times in an era in which style and quality of execution must also be combined with a competitive price.
