Key Features
- Swiss Automatic Movement: Powered by the Powermatic 80 caliber, this watch offers an impressive 80-hour power reserve, ensuring consistent timekeeping even when not worn for extended periods. The self-winding mechanism harnesses the natural motion of the wearer’s wrist to keep the watch running, eliminating the need for battery replacements and reflecting traditional Swiss watchmaking excellence.
- Slim Integrated Design: Inspired by the original 1978 PRX, the case and bracelet are seamlessly fused into one continuous form, creating a fluid, architectural look. The rectangular case flows directly into the bracelet without visible lugs, enhancing both comfort and visual harmony. The low-profile construction makes it comfortable for daily wear and easy to slip under a dress cuff.
- Stainless Steel Construction: The entire case and bracelet are crafted from polished stainless steel, providing durability, resistance to corrosion, and a premium finish that maintains its luster over time. The brushed and polished surfaces catch the light subtly, adding depth to the watch’s overall presence.
- Black Dial with Applied Indexes: The deep black dial features polished hour markers and hands that catch the light, offering clear legibility and a sophisticated contrast against the steel case. The minimalist layout emphasizes elegance without sacrificing functionality, with a date window at 3 o’clock for added practicality.
- Scratch-Resistant Sapphire Crystal: Protecting the dial is a sapphire crystal, known for its exceptional hardness and clarity—second only to diamond in scratch resistance. This ensures long-term readability and resistance to everyday wear and tear, keeping the dial pristine even with regular use.
- Water Resistance: Rated for everyday protection against splashes and brief immersion, making it suitable for daily activities like handwashing, light rain exposure, or accidental spills. It is not intended for swimming, showering, or diving.
