Tissot PRC 100 Solar 39mm Mens Watch Ice Blue

Ref. T1514221135100

The PRC 100 name has stood for twenty years, and this solar-powered version marks the anniversary with something the collection has never done before — a movement that charges through the underside of the crystal rather than behind a translucent dial. Tissot calls it Lightmaster Solar Quartz, and the consequence is that the ice blue dial can be finished and indexed in the conventional way, without compromise to the solar architecture beneath. At 39mm across and 9.2mm deep, the case sits closer to a dress watch's profile than most sports pieces dare to go, and the 44.6mm lug-to-lug measurement means it rarely overhangs the wrist. The dodecagonal bezel — twelve-sided, sharply chamfered, the defining feature of the original 2005 design — keeps the whole thing from reading as merely slim, giving it an angularity that the ice blue dial plays off well in changing light. The bracelet closes with a butterfly clasp that keeps the underside flush rather than letting a folding buckle create a ridge. Fourteen months of stored power in the accumulator means charging is something an owner thinks about occasionally rather than routinely, and the End of Energy function signals well before the watch stops.
