Tissot PRX Titanium Powermatic 80 grey dial titanium bracelet 38 mm

Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 Titanium: Lightness in the Service of Style

Since its relaunch in 2021, the Tissot PRX has established itself as one of the most remarkable watches of recent years. Faithful to the iconic design of the late 1970s, it embodies the perfect balance between heritage, innovation, and accessibility. Today, Tissot takes the next step in the evolution of its collection with the PRX Powermatic 80 Titanium 38 mm, a model that combines the elegance of integrated design with the lightness of an exceptional material.

With this version, the Le Locle-based brand introduces titanium for the first time into the PRX line, creating a watch that is both technical, modern, and incredibly comfortable. As light as air yet as strong as steel, the PRX in titanium is aimed at those who appreciate discreet charm paired with a strong personality.

Its 38 mm case, a first in this material, showcases the most balanced proportions in the collection. This long-awaited mid-size format offers the perfect harmony between presence and comfort while enhancing the satin-brushed finish of the metal.
Darker and slightly warmer than steel, titanium gives the watch a unique visual appeal — both industrial and refined — further elevated here by an anthracite “waffle” patterned dial, where rose-gold hands and indexes provide a subtle touch of contrast and sophistication.

More than just a change in material, this PRX Powermatic 80 Titanium expresses Tissot’s determination to push the boundaries of accessible design by combining technology, comfort, and timelessness. It is a watch designed for modern everyday life — light, durable, and irresistibly contemporary.

Design & Finishing: The Quiet Strength of Titanium

The Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 Titanium retains the emblematic silhouette of the collection — an angular tonneau-shaped case, a thin polished bezel, and an integrated bracelet that flows seamlessly into the case. Yet here, the feel is completely transformed: titanium changes everything.

On the wrist, the difference is immediate. Weighing just 84 grams, this PRX offers an unprecedented lightness that completely redefines the wearing experience. Far from being trivial, this reduction in weight does not compromise robustness in any way: Tissot uses grade 5 titanium, known for its exceptional mechanical strength, long-term stability, and hypoallergenic properties.

Its 38 mm diameter provides perfect balance. More compact than the 40 mm version, it enhances comfort and makes the watch universally appealing — equally suited to a masculine or feminine wrist. The satin-brushed surfaces capture light with subtlety, while the polished edges and the beveled bezel create a refined interplay of reflections.

The anthracite “waffle” patterned dial reprises the PRX’s signature texture. Its sober, metallic hue echoes the titanium case for a harmonious tone-on-tone effect, enriched by rose-gold hands and indexes. This contrast adds warmth and depth, reinforcing the watch’s contemporary spirit without disturbing its visual harmony.

The integrated titanium bracelet, with brushed links and polished bevels, completes this sense of coherence. Thanks to its quick-release system, it can be swapped in seconds, giving the watch true versatility. Its double-push-button folding clasp ensures a secure fit and optimal comfort, in keeping with Tissot’s high standards.

The overall impression is one of irresistible technical elegance: the PRX Titanium captivates without excess shine, asserts its presence without weight. It embodies discreet luxury — a watch you almost forget on your wrist, yet one that connoisseurs instantly recognize.

Movement & Performance: Precision, the Tissot Way

Beneath its sleek exterior, the PRX Powermatic 80 Titanium houses one of the most respected calibers in modern watchmaking: the Powermatic 80, an automatic movement designed and assembled within the Swatch Group — the true backbone of the PRX’s success.

This movement beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz) and delivers an 80-hour power reserve — more than three full days of autonomy. A rare performance at this price point, allowing the watch to keep perfect time even if left aside over the weekend.

Beyond its impressive endurance, the Powermatic 80 caliber also stands out for its reliability. It is equipped with a Nivachron™ balance spring, an exclusive titanium-based alloy resistant to magnetic fields, shocks, and temperature variations. Developed by the Swatch Group, this technology ensures long-term chronometric stability even in the most demanding modern environments.

Visible through the transparent sapphire caseback, the movement reveals its decorated oscillating weight and brushed bridges.

Finally, the watch is protected by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal and offers a 100-meter (10 ATM) water resistance, ensuring absolute robustness. A timepiece designed to be worn every day — without compromise between style, engineering, and performance.
