Stepping up in the same colour and case shape

The PR 100 has been Tissot's sports-dress workhorse for decades — capable enough to take a knock, considered enough to wear to a meeting. This blue-dial iteration follows that brief closely, with a sunburst finish that reads differently under artificial light than in daylight, and three sub-dials that keep the chronograph face legible without crowding it. The date sits asymmetrically between four and five o'clock, which is an unusual choice and, on balance, a successful one. The ETA G10.212 inside is a Swiss-made quartz chronograph movement with a practical advantage worth knowing about: it carries a battery end-of-life indicator, so the watch tells you when it needs attention rather than stopping mid-day unannounced. At 11.3mm the case sits flat enough to clear a shirt cuff without effort. The bracelet mixes brushed outer links with polished centres — a finishing contrast that suits the dial's own shift between matte and mirror — and the butterfly clasp releases via twin pushers, while the quick-release spring bars mean changing to a different strap takes seconds and no tools.

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.

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.

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

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