WATCH

After its release, it became popular in a blink of an eye! Introducing TISSOT's PRX!

Thank you for reading my blog Hello everyone.

I am a staff member in charge of TISSOT at the eye-isuzu G-Time store, a watch store in Kagawa prefecture.

This is a sudden question, but what kind of image do you have of Swiss-made watches?
"Anyway high quality" "Reliability ◎" "If you buy it, you can't go wrong!"
There are so many brands in the watch industry that you can definitely choose
"Many of them are expensive, so you may not be able to buy them casually..."
I think there are people who have an image of that.

For those looking for a good watch in a reasonable price range
I highly recommend this brand " Tissot ".

This time, from such Tissot, it was just released in 2021 and is a hot topic.
I would like to introduce “PRX”.

Well, then, I'm looking forward to working with you! !


① About PRX




In 1978, Tissot launched a series equipped with a quartz movement.
At that time, it was named PRX after making its debut under the name Seastar.

A slim case, sharp indexes, and an all-in-one design
Wide horizontal links and tonneau-shaped cases were typical of watch design in the 1970s.

The design is Audemars Piguet's Royal Oak called Gerald Genta.
I am influenced by the watch designer who worked on Omega's C line case.

What does the PRX name mean?
"PR" means "Precise and Robust"
"X" expresses "10 ATM (100m/330ft) waterproof" in Roman numerals.

And in 2021, Tissot designed a motif that symbolizes the 1970s.
I announced a vintage watch [PRX].
Has a retro look since it was announced
Sophisticated yet versatile, it has exploded in popularity among the younger generation.

Next, let's look at the design aspects of the PRX.

The original model from 1978 has been reinterpreted and updated to a modern model.

There are two case sizes, 40mm and 35mm.

35mm


Recently, it seems that even men can wear 35mm!
It might be good to make a pair with a couple!


The main feature is the integrated case and bracelet made as a luxury sports watch.

Thickness is 10.9mm
The bezel has a polished finish that emits a glossy sheen, which is also called a mirror finish.
The satin-finished case is naturally connected diagonally, with a thorough attention to detail.

It is easy to match with tight cuffs or wide cuffs, and it also goes well with modern and vintage styles.
It is also one of the attractions.
The craftsmanship that Tissot has cultivated over its long history is clearly expressed in the delicate finishing techniques applied throughout.

On the face, when the indexes are exposed to light, the beauty of the dial shines even more.The blue dial with a sunray finish and the luminous hands coated with Super-LumiNova enhance visibility, providing a smooth wear and waterproof performance to 10 ATM that is easy to use for daily use.

A timeless timepiece for those who care about what they wear.

TISSOT puts a lot of effort into not only the design, but also the bracelet.

You can experience an outstanding wearing feeling with a fit that fits your arm.

Eliminates reflections and creates a directional matte surface.

The buckle has two push buttons, making it easy to put on and take off.

Once you try it on, I am sure you will be able to tell that it is a Swiss watch with a sophisticated and uncompromising essence throughout.

After the exterior, the most important thing for a watch is the movement.
The movement of TISSOT is also well made compared to high-end watches.

PowerMatic80 PowerMatic80
Tissot developed the world's first anti-magnetic watch.
It is an excellent movement born by joint development by Tissot and ETA.
The "80" in Powermatic 80 refers to the power reserve time, enabling a long reserve time.
How is the high magnetic resistance installed?
It uses silicon material for the part called the hairspring, which greatly affects the accuracy of the watch.
The accuracy is high with a daily difference of -4 to +6 seconds, and I think it will be very useful for everyday use.
A watch with such high quality can be purchased for around 100,000 yen, and I think that the fact that you can enjoy a sense of luxury that exceeds the price is one of the reasons why it is so highly rated.
