Bright features

The application of Super-LumiNova is not limited to aesthetics but also enhances the functionality of the watch, making the time readable in all lighting conditions.
Mechanical innovation and decoration
At the heart of this watch is the Powermatic 80 caliber, renowned for its 80-hour power reserve. The transparent case back reveals a special rotor adorned with a second image of Grendizer, emphasizing the uniqueness of this special edition. The presence of this sophisticated movement demonstrates Tissotโs commitment to precision and technical innovation, making this watch not only a beautiful object but also an example of advanced watchmaking mechanics.
Adaptability and comfort
The watch is designed to fit comfortably on a variety of wrists thanks to its integrated steel bracelet, which is easily interchangeable with other rubber or leather straps offered by Tissot. With a water resistance of 100 meters, the PRX is also perfect for summer getaways by the pool.
