Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
The PR 100 has been part of Tissot's core range long enough that the initials carry meaning: Precise and Robust, a formula applied here to a chronograph that is genuinely intended for daily use rather than occasional wear. The G10.212 beneath the dial is an ETA movement with a straightforward reputation — it runs, it keeps time, and when the battery nears exhaustion it signals the fact through an end-of-life indicator so the watch does not simply stop without warning. At 40mm across and 11.26mm thick, this sits squarely in the versatile middle ground, and 135 grams gives it enough presence on the wrist to feel substantial without pulling. The two-tone execution runs through every detail consistently: bare steel on the case flanks and outer bracelet links, yellow gold PVD on the bezel, crown, pushers and central rows, all reading against a silver sunray dial with gold-tone hands and stick markers. The quick-release bracelet system means an alternative strap can be fitted without tools, and the butterfly clasp sits flush and releases cleanly — practical points on a watch designed to be worn rather than saved.

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.
