Tissot PRX Automatic Chronograph 42mm Mens Watch White

Ref. T1374271101101

The PRX name dates to 1978, when Tissot built a slim, integrated-bracelet watch shaped by the same decade that produced the Royal Oak and the Nautilus. This chronograph is the line's most demanding exercise: fitting a full automatic column-wheel movement into that same family requires the case to grow to 42mm and thicken to 14.5mm, which is honest about what it contains rather than pretending otherwise. On the wrist it reads as a substantial watch. The lug-to-lug, measured to the true ends of the lugs, runs to 46.5mm, but the integrated bracelet pulls the whole assembly close to the wrist and the stubby lugs prevent it from rocking — the result is presence without overhang. The white dial with blue sub-registers at 3, 6 and 9 gives good contrast in low light, and the applied stick markers carry lume that holds usefully overnight. The movement is worth a look through the exhibition caseback. The A05.H31 is a modern evolution of the Valjoux 7750 family, running at 28,800 bph with a Nivachron hairspring that resists magnetism — useful in the everyday environments most people actually wear a watch through. The 60-hour power reserve means a Friday-evening removal does not require a reset come Monday morning. Perlage on the bridges and a cut-out rotor are visible details that repay the attention, without being theatrical about it.
