The PRX Powermatic 80 is equipped with a Nivachron balance spring, which guarantees excellent anti-magnetic performance, and its components have been optimised to ensure a power reserve of up to 80 hours, which is enough to continue telling time accurately even if the watch is not worn for three days – making it an ideal choice for the ever-busy person who is constantly on the go. Furthermore, this detailing pays homage to the fact that the automatic PRX watches feature Tissot’s flagship mechanical movement, the original ETA calibre reference 80.111, with Swiss-made movement offering beats at 3 Hz. The words ‘Powermatic 80’ on the dial serve as a reminder of the mechanical nature of these models. The former adds a masculine matte aspect, whilst the latter feels soft to the touch, resulting in a watch that not only flatters your look, but is exquisitely effortless to both handle and wear. The satin finish on the external faces is as carefully executed as the polishing on the internal faces, reinforcing the timepiece’s eye-catching appeal. The style of this bracelet is based on the series of large links that take up its whole width, with its mobility and flexibility ensuring it sits beautifully on the wrist. Metal components add depth, presence and substance, while the window encasing the date display at 3 o'clock is also bevelled and appliqué, which highlights and enhances the daring design.Įmphasising Tissot’s penchant for creativity are the lines of the case that extend directly into the bracelet of the PRX Powermatic 80 models, without recourse to traditional lugs. Opting for appliqué indexes on these embossed surfaces, rather than flat decals, it strengthens the PRX Powermatic 80’s standout style. A few years later, Tissot registered the PRX name, with ‘PR’ standing for Precise and Robust and the Roman numeral ‘X’ indicating the depth to which the watch is water resistant – 10 bar, or 100 metres. In 1978, Tissot created a quartz model characterised by a bracelet with a wide, transverse link, which was perfectly integrated with its flat, slim, tonneau-shaped case. However, Tissot is no stranger to embracing the cultural zeitgeist as evidenced by previous iconic models. Renowned for creating designs influenced by contemporary demands, needs and fashion, this philosophy is certainly instilled in the PRX Powermatic 80. Never one to be held back by the past, Tissot prides itself in looking to the present for inspiration. Fusing a sports model with an integrated bracelet with finesse, the brand has equipped this spirited watch with an embossed chequered dial and a high-performance automatic movement, that will rise to the challenge and never let you down. Synonymous with innovation, Tissot exercises its pioneering prowess once again with the PRX Powermatic 80 watch.
