Tissot PRC 100 Solar, Black PVD Dial, 39mm Watch for Men,
Product Overview
The Tissot PRC 100 Solar brings a modern twist to a design that first made its mark in the mid-2000s. Known for its bold presence and sporty character, the original PRC 100 earned its place in Tissot’s lineup with a distinctive look and reliable performance. This updated version honors that legacy while introducing advanced solar technology for today’s active lifestyle. At 39mm, the watch strikes a balanced size—substantial enough to make a statement, yet comfortable for everyday wear. The black PVD stainless steel case and matching bracelet give it a sleek, contemporary edge, while the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial from daily wear. Powered by Tissot’s Lightmaster Solar Quartz movement, it draws energy from any light source—sunlight or indoor lighting—ensuring consistent operation without the need for battery changes. This makes it an ideal choice for men who want precision, durability, and minimal maintenance in one refined package.
Key Features
- Solar-Powered Quartz Movement: The Lightmaster Solar technology converts light into electrical energy, storing it in a rechargeable cell. This eliminates the hassle and cost of battery replacements and ensures the watch remains powered as long as it’s exposed to light regularly.
- Black PVD Stainless Steel Construction: Both the 39mm case and the bracelet are crafted from stainless steel and finished with a black PVD coating. This not only enhances the watch’s modern aesthetic but also provides added resistance to scratches and everyday wear.
- Dodecagonal Bezel: The 12-sided bezel is a signature design element that sets the PRC 100 apart. Its geometric shape adds visual interest and reinforces the watch’s sporty, confident character.
- Sapphire Crystal: Renowned for its hardness, the sapphire crystal offers exceptional protection against scratches, helping maintain clarity and readability over time.
- End of Energy Indicator: This practical feature signals when the power reserve is running low, prompting the wearer to expose the watch to light. It’s a simple yet effective way to maintain uninterrupted performance.
- 20mm Strap Compatibility: While the watch comes with a matching black PVD stainless steel bracelet, its 20mm lug width allows for easy customization. Owners can swap in leather, Milanese mesh, or other compatible straps to match different outfits or occasions.

It ships in a compact box measuring 5.24 x 5.16 x 3.51 inches and weighs just 1.69 ounces, making it easy to store or transport. First released on March 11, 2025, it carries the ASIN B0F13FJ33R for quick identification. To maintain optimal performance, regular exposure to light is recommended. Avoid prolonged contact with extreme heat, cold, or strong magnetic fields, as these can affect the movement’s accuracy.
