Tissot Expands The PRX Line With New 38mm Titanium And Damascus Steel Models
The Tissot PRX continues to evolve as one of the most successful modern integrated bracelet watches in recent years. The latest additions to the collection bring not only new materials but also a new 38 mm case size, perfectly positioned between the existing 40 mm and 35 mm versions. This new dimension offers a balanced fit that broadens the PRX’s appeal, catering to those who found the 40 mm slightly large or the 35 mm a bit compact.
Tissot debuts three models in this size: two crafted from titanium and one from Damascus steel, each powered by the reliable Powermatic 80 automatic movement.
The Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 Titanium
The new PRX Titanium introduces a fresh material and a refined scale to the PRX family. Measuring 38 mm in diameter and 10.98 mm in thickness, the titanium case maintains the PRX’s signature sharp geometry and integrated bracelet design while providing a more versatile wrist presence. The use of brushed titanium reduces the watch’s total weight to just 84 grams, enhancing comfort without sacrificing durability.
Tissot offers two dial variants for the titanium models. The first features an anthracite dial with the PRX’s hallmark waffle pattern, paired with rose-gold-colored hands, indexes, and a matching date window frame. This combination creates a refined and slightly monochromatic aesthetic that complements the darker tone of titanium. The second version presents a deep blue dial with a similar waffle texture and nickel-plated hands and markers. This variant offers a sportier and more contemporary look while maintaining the subtle elegance that defines the PRX line.
Both models preserve the integrated bracelet design with a brushed finish that highlights titanium’s distinctive, darker hue compared to stainless steel, giving the watch a sleek and modern appearance.
Precision with the Powermatic 80
At the heart of the titanium PRX models beats the trusted Powermatic 80 movement, developed within the Swatch Group. This automatic caliber operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour and is equipped with 23 jewels, offering an impressive 80-hour power reserve. It also incorporates a Nivachron hairspring, which provides excellent resistance to magnetism and temperature variations, ensuring long-term precision and reliability. The movement can be admired through the sapphire display back, which showcases its clean finishing and rotor design.
The new Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 Titanium is priced at € 875, offering a premium material upgrade at an accessible price point that strengthens its position in the mid-range automatic sports watch segment.
The Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 Damascus
Alongside the titanium duo, Tissot unveils the PRX Powermatic 80 Damascus, a striking model that highlights the brand’s continued experimentation with materials. Like its titanium counterparts, this watch adopts the new 38 mm case size and 10.98 mm thickness, ensuring a balanced and comfortable wrist presence.
The case and dial are both crafted from Damascus steel, a material renowned for its unique wavy grain pattern formed by layering and forging different types of steel. This process gives each watch a one-of-a-kind visual texture, ensuring no two cases are exactly alike. The dial’s surface continues this pattern, creating a cohesive and visually captivating aesthetic.
The PRX Damascus features nickel-plated hour and minute hands accompanied by a black seconds hand, while black nickel indexes and a matching minute track complete the design. It comes fitted with a black integrated leather strap, equipped with quick-release pins for easy strap changes. Weighing only 75 grams, it offers both lightness and comfort, while the sapphire case back reveals the Powermatic 80 movement within. This version is priced at € 1,075, offering a distinctive appearance and premium material at a remarkably reasonable price point.
A New Size, New Materials, and a Broader Appeal
With these latest releases, Tissot not only expands the PRX’s material palette to include titanium and Damascus steel but also introduces a new 38 mm size that bridges the gap between the larger 40 mm and smaller 35 mm models. The result is a watch that feels proportionally ideal for a wide range of wrists, maintaining the PRX’s signature integrated design and modern versatility.
By combining the lightweight practicality of titanium, the artisanal beauty of Damascus steel, and the proven performance of the Powermatic 80 movement, Tissot reaffirms the PRX as one of the most compelling and accessible integrated sports watches in its category.
