TISSOT PRX

In 1978 Tissot created a quartz model, featuring a thin case, narrow indexes, and a steel bracelet. Its wide horizontal loop, typical of the period, was perfectly integrated into the flat tonneau-shaped case. A few years later, Tissot registered the name PRX. "PR" stands for "accurate" and "robust." The "X" stands for the Roman numeral ten and for the pressure of 10 bar that the watch can withstand. In 2021 Tissot introduced the PRX 40205, It is a modern version of the previous model. The 316L stainless steel case of the Tissot PRX 40205 has a diameter of 40 mm. It has a slightly tonneau shape and is adorned with a narrow, round bezel. On the vertically brushed sides, rounded finishes alternate with polished facets. The Tissot PRX 40205 Quartz features a dial with a black or blue sunburst pattern in combination with nickel-plated hour markers and hands. There is also a variant with a satin silver grey dial with rose gold indexes and hands, a colour combination reminiscent of the late 1970s. The flexibility and softness of the meshes make them a real success in ergonomic design and convey extraordinary comfort. The hands of the PRX 40 205 have a SuperLumiNova® coating and are placed on top of each other with minimal space. This allows the dial to be brought closer to the watch glass. The optical effect achieved by Tissot designers makes the watch case look even flatter and thinner than it actually is.
