Stepping up in the same colour and case shape

The PR 100 sits in Tissot's everyday T-Classic lineup as a watch designed to do nothing unusual — just do everything reliably, for a long time, without asking much in return. At 8.25mm thick with a 47mm lug-to-lug span, it wears flatter and more comfortably across a wider range of wrists than its 40mm diameter might suggest, slipping under a cuff without the bulk that catches on a sleeve. The ETA F06.115 inside includes a useful practical detail: when the battery runs low, the seconds hand shifts to a four-second stepping pattern rather than stopping without warning, giving the owner time to arrange a replacement before the watch goes dark. The bracelet operates on a quick-release system, so swapping to a strap requires no tools. Three rows of alternating brushed and polished links secure via a push-button butterfly clasp — the kind of finishing that keeps the wrist side clean and the deployment invisible.

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.

1930: Merges with Omega; releases the first anti-magnetic wristwatch.
1971: The Astrolon uses a plastic movement.
1985: The RockWatch is cased in Alpine granite.
1999: The T-Touch introduces a tactile sapphire crystal.

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.

Will the glass scratch?

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

Does it need a battery?

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

What size strap does it take?

20mm. 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.

Will it fit my wrist?

Lug-to-lug is 47mm, which suits wrists from roughly 16cm (6¼ inches) upward.

Lug-to-lug decides fit more than case diameter does.

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

Listed as men's, though at 40mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
