Tissot PRX Titanium Powermatic 80 blue dial titanium bracelet 38 mm

Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 Titanium: The Quintessence of Modern Sport-Chic

Since its reappearance in 2021, the Tissot PRX has established itself as a symbol of style and technical mastery. Inspired by a historic 1978 model, it perfectly embodies the Swiss vision of sport-chic, with its sharp lines, integrated bracelet, and distinctly urban spirit.

Today, Tissot unveils a highly anticipated evolution: the PRX Powermatic 80 Titanium 38 mm, a watch that is more compact, lighter, and even more contemporary. By introducing titanium for the first time in the PRX collection, the brand from Le Locle succeeds in reinventing its icon without altering its DNA — timeless seventies design, exceptional comfort, and high-precision performance.

This new 38 mm case strikes the perfect balance between elegance and wearability. It retains the original design — with sharp angles, an integrated case, and a thin bezel — but gains in lightness and modernity.
Titanium, darker and more matte than steel, offers a subtle sheen and a distinctive feel, almost silky to the touch. In this version, it pairs beautifully with a deep blue “waffle” textured dial, whose tone shifts with the light, ranging from petrol blue to midnight blue.

Powered by the Powermatic 80 movement and fitted with an integrated titanium bracelet, this PRX combines technical sophistication with understated elegance. A watch with rational charm, created for those who value precision, lightness, and enduring style.

Design & Finishing: The Subtlety of Blue and Titanium

The PRX Powermatic 80 Titanium 38 mm retains the collection’s iconic silhouette — a sleek tonneau-shaped case, a slim polished bezel, and an integrated bracelet that flows seamlessly into the case. Every detail exudes the precision of Swiss design, yet with a new expression: titanium redefines how the PRX feels and looks.

Once on the wrist, the difference is striking. Weighing just around 84 grams, this PRX feels almost weightless. The comfort is immediate, and its lightness does not compromise the sense of solidity and precision. This is the paradox of titanium — a metal three times lighter than steel yet even more resilient, with a soft, matte grain that diffuses light with elegance.

This interplay of materials finds perfect balance in the blue “waffle” patterned dial, the collection’s signature texture. Under varying light, the dial’s tone evolves — petrol blue in shadow, royal blue in sunlight, midnight blue indoors. This chromatic richness is magnified by nickel-plated hands and indexes, whose cool sheen harmonizes with the satin finish of the case. The result is a rare chromatic harmony — modern yet subtly sophisticated.

The integrated titanium bracelet completes the composition. Its brushed links, accented with polished bevels, provide a silky feel and impeccable finishing. The quick-release system allows for easy strap changes, while the double push-button folding clasp ensures both comfort and security.

Visually, this blue version stands out for its soft luminosity. Where the anthracite edition plays with warm contrasts, the titanium blue PRX favors transparency, clarity, and fluidity. It embodies understated refinement — that quiet elegance so characteristic of Tissot — the kind of watch noticed not for what it shows, but for what it evokes.

Movement & Performance: The Efficiency of the Powermatic 80

Beneath its sleek and lightweight profile, the PRX Powermatic 80 Titanium houses the mechanical heart that has driven the collection’s success since its inception: the renowned Powermatic 80 caliber. Developed within the Swatch Group, this automatic movement is among the most reliable and high-performing in its category.

Beating at 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz), it offers an 80-hour power reserve — more than three days of autonomy without winding. This technical achievement ensures unmatched convenience: simply take off the watch on Friday night, and it will still be running perfectly by Monday morning.

The strength of the Powermatic 80 also lies in its anti-magnetic technology. Its Nivachron™ balance spring, an exclusive titanium-based alloy, protects the movement from magnetic fields, shocks, and temperature variations. The result: long-lasting chronometric stability and precision, even in the most demanding modern environments.

Visible through the transparent sapphire caseback, the movement reveals its decorated oscillating weight and brushed bridges — a testament to Swiss meticulousness down to the smallest detail. This aesthetic refinement is no mere embellishment: it reflects Tissot’s philosophy that true beauty stems from technical mastery.

Finally, the watch is protected by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal and offers 100 meters (10 ATM) of water resistance, allowing for daily use without compromise. It thus combines elegance, performance, and durability — the three pillars of PRX success.
