Tissot has introduced a range of new additions to its PRX collection for 2024, reinterpreting the beloved 1978 model with fresh tones, materials, and sizes. The collection continues to build on the retro-inspired design while integrating modern elements that appeal to contemporary professionals. These new extensions include the Powermatic 80 and Quartz variants, offering versatility for those seeking a balance between style and functionality.

New Colors and Designs
Tissot has introduced two gradient dials for the Powermatic 80 models, specifically the T137.407.11.041.00 (ice blue gradient) and T137.407.11.051.00 (black to blue gradient). These dials transition from either ice blue or black to a metallic blue reflection, evoking the changing sky at dusk or dawn. For those looking for something different, the forged carbon variant (T137.407.37.051.00) offers a full black aesthetic, with a carbon case and rubber strap that provide lightweight durability and a distinct, modern style.
High-Tech Materials and Durability
The high-tech forged carbon variant (T137.407.37.051.00) is one of the standout models in the new lineup. Forged carbon not only makes each watch unique but also ensures that it remains lightweight and durable. The rubber strap adds to its sporty appeal, while the other models in the collection feature integrated steel bracelets. The use of sapphire crystal for scratch resistance and the addition of a Nivachron™ balance spring for better performance under magnetic fields showcase Tissot’s focus on blending aesthetics with technology.
Customer-Inspired Additions
Responding to customer demand, Tissot released a mint green waffle dial model during the summer of 2024, available in both 40mm and 35mm sizes (T137.407.11.081.00 and T137.210.11.081.00). This variant brings a fresh and vibrant look to the collection, standing out against the steel case, and has quickly gained popularity.
Functionality Meets Style
The Powermatic 80 movement offers an impressive 80-hour power reserve, ensuring reliable performance even when not worn for several days. In addition to shock and temperature resistance, the Nivachron™ balance spring helps reduce the effects of magnetic interference, maintaining accuracy in any environment. The Quartz models also offer precise timekeeping, with the EOL (End-of-Life) indicator alerting wearers when the battery is nearing its end. Each model, whether Powermatic 80 or Quartz, is fitted with an integrated bracelet or strap, and the quick-release system allows for easy customization.
35mm Quartz Variants for Smaller Wrists
For those with smaller wrists, Tissot has introduced two new 35mm quartz models: the T137.210.11.351.00 (brushed pink dial) and T137.210.11.111.00 (mother-of-pearl dial). The mother-of-pearl option adds a subtle touch of elegance, while the pink dial offers a fresh, modern look for those who appreciate vintage-inspired designs with a contemporary flair.
A Watch for Every Occasion
Whether opting for the robust style of the forged carbon model, the vibrant mint green dial, or the elegant mother-of-pearl version, the 2024 PRX collection offers something for everyone. Tissot continues to blend Swiss craftsmanship with accessible luxury, making the PRX series a versatile and stylish choice for modern professionals. From the boardroom to the weekend getaway, these watches offer timeless appeal with modern enhancements.
