PRX Powermatic 80 Titanium

The PRX Collection Reinvented with Bold New Materials Product Press Release

Le Locle, Switzerland. Tissot revisits its classic PRX collection with three new 38mm automatic editions, crafted in striking new materials. Titanium, light and resilient, makes its debut in the PRX line, while Damascus stainless steel, rich with texture and depth, appears for the first time in Tissot’s collections. Each model embodies a distinct personality, yet together they expand the PRX story into new realms of expression. Celebrating the bold spirit of the PRX while charting new horizons in watchmaking, these timepieces honour a legacy that has spanned generations and carry it confidently into the present.

The Tissot PRX collection traces its roots back to 1978, created for those who value both style and endurance. Its philosophy was expressed in its very name, PRX, standing for Precision, Robustness, and 10-bar water resistance, a promise of reliability within a refined design. Revived in recent years, the PRX quickly established itself as a modern classic, with a stainless steel case and integrated bracelet that flow seamlessly into angular geometry, preserving the balance of strength and presence that has defined it across decades.

Titanium and Damascus Steel: Two Paths of Craft

Rising from a foundation forged through time, Tissot now introduces new materials that elevate the collection to new heights, each telling its own story. The titanium editions stand out with a case and integrated bracelet crafted entirely from this feather-light metal, prized for its exceptional strength. Comfortable and resilient, it sits easily on the wrist, ready to accompany every adventure without weighing you down. Two dial variations express distinct characters: a deep blue version paired with nickeled baton hands and applied indexes, and an anthracite variant that pays tribute to titanium itself, contrasted with rose-gold-coloured hands and indexes for a refined, contemporary edge. Both feature the signature waffle-patterned dial, reinforcing the watch’s bold, modern spirit while ensuring impeccable legibility.

In parallel, the Damascus stainless steel model stands out as a true marvel between modernity and vintage allure, offering a one-of-a-kind appearance. Both the case and dial are crafted from Damascus stainless steel, renowned for its extraordinary strength, durability, and captivating patterned surface. Its swirling, watery motifs create a visual feast, reminiscent of waves in constant motion, catching the light from every angle. This mesmerising texture offers a watch that feels alive, making each piece unique, highlighting the raw beauty of nature. Baton-shaped hands and a bold black second hand add structure and contrast, while black-nickeled indexes ensure clear readability. Completing the design, an interchangeable grained leather strap with Damascus stainless steel end pieces and buckle underscores versatility and echoes the artistry of the case.

Impact on Every Detail: Precision in Motion

At the heart of these remarkable timepieces is the Powermatic 80 movement, boasting an impressive 80-hour power reserve, which ensures that even after days off the wrist, the watch continues its steady rhythm without missing a beat. Complementing this is the NivachronTM balance spring, engineered to resist magnetic interference, shocks, aging, and temperature variations. This blend of technology and precision guarantees the PRX performs reliably through life’s most crucial moments, no matter what the conditions. Protecting the movement is a sapphire crystal, second only to diamond in hardness, offering unmatched scratch resistance and preserving the dial’s striking look over time.

The new Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 is more than a timekeeper, it is a tribute to enduring style, technical mastery, and the subtle poetry of fine materials. Titanium captivates with its feather-light strength and commanding presence, whilst Damascus steel enchants with unique patterns that seem to capture the flow of time itself. Together, they celebrate the PRX’s heritage while embracing the possibilities of today. For those who see a watch not just as an accessory but as a companion on life’s journey, these timepieces carry stories worth wearing.
