Stepping up in the same dial colour
The PRX case dates to 1978, and Tissot brought it back in 2021 into the crowded sport-integrated-bracelet category that had grown up around it in the intervening decades. This light-green variant arrived in 2024, and the waffle-textured dial is deliberate shorthand: across the PRX family, the automatic models carry the texture while the quartz siblings use a sunburst finish, so the dial alone tells you what is driving the hands. The Powermatic 80.111 underneath is built on the ETA 2824 platform but with meaningful amendments — the balance wheel is Nivachron alloy, which resists magnetic fields and temperature swings better than a conventional wheel and tightens accuracy as a result. The 80-hour reserve means the watch will sit through a long weekend without winding, and the exhibition caseback means you can see the work. Where the specifications need a caveat: the official lug-to-lug figure is understated because the first bracelet link does not articulate, making the practical length closer to 51mm. On smaller wrists that matters more than the 40mm diameter suggests, and it is worth knowing before you buy.

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 comparedIs it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's, though at 40mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
Cheapest place to buy
