Stepping up in Tissot's range

Price range £245 to £1,875 across 310 Tissot watches in stock.

The PR100 name stands for Precise and Robust, and this chronograph variant makes the case that the two need not pull against each other. The Sport Chic sub-line places 12 Top Wesselton diamonds at the hour positions on a mother-of-pearl dial, then surrounds them with three chronograph sub-dials — including a 1/10-second counter and ADD and SPLIT functions — driven by the ETA G15.212, a calibre with an end-of-life indicator that gives fair warning before the movement stops rather than simply slowing. The two-tone execution is thorough rather than superficial: rose gold PVD runs through the centre links of the bracelet, the bezel, and the case, while polished steel holds the outer links and the case sides, giving the bracelet a continuity with the dial's rose gold hands. At 38mm the watch reads with enough presence to carry the sub-dials without crowding the wrist, and the deployant clasp — twin push-button, with the Tissot emblem — means a consistent fit each time it goes on.

Learn more about Tissot

Charles-Félicien Tissot and his son Charles-Émile founded the company in Le Locle in 1853, assembling gold pocket watches and, unusually for the time, exporting aggressively — Russia became a major market within a decade.

Tissot's history is a sequence of firsts achieved through willingness to try materials and ideas the establishment considered unserious. The first mass-produced pocket watch with two time zones came in 1853. The first anti-magnetic wristwatch in 1930. The Astrolon of 1971 was the first watch with a movement made largely of injection-moulded plastic, and it worked. The RockWatch of 1985 used Alpine granite for the case, followed by watches in wood and mother-of-pearl.

The T-Touch of 1999 was the most significant: a tactile sapphire crystal allowing the wearer to access altimeter, barometer, compass, thermometer, and chronograph by touching the glass, years before touchscreens were commonplace.

Tissot merged with Omega in 1930 and both became founding members of what is now the Swatch Group. Its position in the group is volume and accessibility — Swiss mechanical and quartz watches at prices most people can reach, with the Powermatic 80 movement offering an eighty-hour reserve at entry level.

The company has held timekeeping roles across cycling, basketball, motorsport, and fencing.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch

Can I swim with it?

Yes. At 100m it is rated for swimming and snorkelling, though not for diving.

Water resistance explained

Will the glass scratch?

Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.

Sapphire, mineral and acrylic compared

Does it need a battery?

Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.

Quartz, automatic and solar compared

Is it a men's or women's watch?

Listed as women's, though at 38mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
