Tissot PRX 38mm, Swiss Automatic Watch for Men, Damascus

Product Overview

The Tissot PRX 38mm is a Swiss automatic watch that masterfully blends retro-inspired design with advanced horological engineering. Drawing direct inspiration from the original 1978 Tissot PRX, this modern reinterpretation captures the bold spirit of the 1970s while integrating twenty-first-century materials and movement technology. At its heart lies a striking marbled Damascus stainless-steel case—each finished with a one-of-a-kind pattern that ensures no two watches are exactly alike. This unique aesthetic is more than visual; the Damascus steel construction contributes to both durability and a luxurious tactile feel. Powered by Tissot’s in-house Powermatic 80 automatic movement, the watch delivers consistent accuracy and an extended 80-hour power reserve, making it ideal for daily wear without the need for frequent winding. Designed for men who appreciate heritage design and reliable performance, the PRX 38mm offers a slim, comfortable profile that fits seamlessly under a cuff or on bare skin.

Key Features

• Marbled Damascus Stainless-Steel Case – The case is crafted from Damascus steel, known for its distinctive marbled finish created through a specialized layering and forging process. This gives each watch a unique visual texture, setting it apart from standard polished or brushed finishes. The material not only enhances durability but also adds an artisanal, high-end character to the watch’s overall presence.
• Swiss Automatic Movement (Powermatic 80) – At the core of this timepiece is the Powermatic 80 caliber, a self-winding movement developed and manufactured by Tissot. It features the innovative Nivachron hairspring, which offers improved resistance to magnetic fields and temperature fluctuations—common challenges in modern environments. This results in dependable timekeeping across a range of everyday conditions.
• 80-Hour Power Reserve – Once fully wound, the movement can run for up to three days without being worn or rewound. This extended power reserve makes the watch practical for those who may not wear it every day, reducing the need for constant resetting and adjustment.
• Grey Dial with ‘70s-Inspired Design – The dial reflects the clean, integrated aesthetic of the original 1978 model, featuring a minimalist layout with subtle textures and refined markers. Its grey tone complements the Damascus steel case, enhancing the vintage-modern fusion that defines the PRX collection. The design emphasizes legibility and timeless appeal, staying true to its heritage roots.
• Interchangeable Leather Strap – The watch comes equipped with a high-quality leather strap that is designed for easy removal and replacement. This allows wearers to personalize their look—switching to a different color or material to suit various occasions, from business meetings to casual outings. The quick-change system ensures convenience without compromising on security or comfort.
