Stepping up in the same dial colour
The PRX traces its roots to a 1978 integrated-bracelet design that Tissot revived in 2021 — first in quartz, then with a mechanical movement once it became clear the collection had an audience that wanted one. The mint green dial variant arrived in 2023, the honeycomb pattern cut into the surface giving the colour somewhere to go: flat light reads it as a muted sage, angled light breaks it into geometry. At 35mm it wears closer to 37mm in practice, partly because the bracelet leaves the case at 24mm and fills the wrist accordingly. The thickness is the one trade-off the automatic movement demands — fractionally more than the quartz version — but it is not unreasonable, and on a wrist under 17cm the proportions hold well. The screw-down crown is worth noting: it keeps the depth rating honest and adds a deliberateness to the winding ritual that suits a watch with a movement on display through the caseback. The Powermatic 80 calibre — built by ETA on a Nivachron balance spring — carries 80 hours of reserve, which in practice means the watch is still running on a Monday morning if you set it down Friday evening. The rotor visible through the caseback is decorated rather than functional-plain, which is the right call for a watch whose character is largely about finish.

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 explainedWill the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedWhat size strap does it take?
24mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's, though at 35mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
Cheapest place to buy
Both Mappin & Webb and Goldsmiths list it at £640, so choose on delivery and warranty rather than price.
