[Video] The Tissot PRX Automatic Chronograph Strikes Love Into The Hearts Of Watch Fans

A 42mm chronograph that speaks to both novices and seasoned collectors

Tissot struck gold when it released the sharp and crisp PRX Powermatic 80. The Tissot PRX Automatic Chronograph is another retro-powered creation that strikes love into the hearts of watch lovers. And you guessed it right, the watch strikes fear into the hearts of the competition. What makes this first-ever PRX in chronograph mode so impressive and attractive? The video explains everything.

The hard facts are that the Tissot PRX Automatic Chronograph measures 42 × 15.4mm, but that doesn’t explain the watch’s desirability. The price of €1,795 already clears things up a bit more. In the video, I will take you back to the origins of the new PRX, a watch that is based on the 1970s Tissot Seastar Quartz. And you will also get to know about what drives the PRX Automatic Chronograph in the most literal sense. Have a look and be impressed. By the watch, of course.

Nice bur that date window is ugly, lazy, and prevents me from buying this watch.

  Lazy? You mean like not proofreading your comment for typos?

15.4 that sounds ridiculous.

  It sure sounds like a lot. And it is. Having it on your wrist though is a bit of a different story. It is without a doubt a thick watch, but the way the case is constructed makes it still sit quite nicely on the wrist.

    I also have a 18.5 wrist. Need to see first what it looks like on me. Then I agree, the package is inviting: design, movement… But to get it a bit thinner, a manual movement could have been the right approach

      Exactly: You always need to see it on your own wrist. I have tried on watches where I was sure they would fit nicely, but then they ended up looking weird (to me) in my wrist. And the other way around: Watches that I thought are surely too big, bit actually I really liked them on me. Always try first!

        Agreed, always try on wrist. The dimension stats might not provide a true picture how the watch sit on the wrist. I recently tried two GMT watches of different brand, with both having similar diameter and lug to lug distance, but I would say the fit is definitely not the same on the wrist.

  I was surprised how much I liked it when I had it on my wrist – hoping you’ll have the same experience. Enjoy it!

I ordered this PRX Chrono with panda dial, I think they did a very nice job. With the height I can definitely live, after having tried our review watch.

The video offers us a very clear explanation about this Tissot PRX watch. However, it seems to me that you mention that the power reserve is only 60 hrs when I would expect 80 hrs

Great review. I like your style. This watch is definitely in my sights. In my collection Tissot is now my largest manufacturer. It used to be Omega then Brightling and now it is Tissot.
