Tissot’s blockbuster PRX finally gets the chronograph combo it was missing

It's the one PRX variant that was absent until now.

Watch, Face, Dial — Tissot

Tissot has just released the new PRX Quartz Chronograph, filling what’s arguably the last obvious gap in its breakout PRX collection: a quartz-powered chronograph.

Since its 2021 relaunch, the PRX has expanded into automatics, multiple case sizes, gold accents, and exotic materials like titanium and Damascus steel. An automatic PRX Chronograph arrived in 2022, but a quartz version of that same chrono function never showed up until now.

The 41mm stainless steel case comes in under 12mm thick with 100 meters of water resistance and three vertically brushed dial options: silver with rose-gold-colored hands and indexes, black with nickel-colored hardware, and blue, also with nickel accents. Each dial carries three chronograph counters, a date window at 4 o’clock, and Super-LumiNova on the hands and indexes.

Inside is a quartz chronograph movement; folks around the internet are speculating it’s the ETA G10.212 PowerDrive, though Tissot’s own materials don’t name the caliber directly. It’s priced at $525.

The presentation of the whole thing is pretty impeccable (at this price point, for a quartz movement, it pretty much has to be) and the whole package just looks clean.

Tissot’s biggest recent success story just got cheaper to buy into

The PRX isn’t just another Tissot line. Since its relaunch, it’s earned a reputation as one of the most compelling Swiss automatics under $1,500, with retailers reportedly struggling to keep it in stock at points and watch-industry outlets consistently naming it one of the most successful Swiss watches of the decade. That success has translated into variety: different sizes, materials, and movements, all built around the same integrated-bracelet silhouette.

A quartz chronograph is the version that arguably should have existed from the start, and its absence has been a minor but real gap for anyone who wanted the PRX Chronograph’s stopwatch function without the automatic version’s $2,150 price tag.

At $525, less than a quarter of that cost, Tissot is making the case that the chronograph and design language, not the movement powering it, is what most PRX buyers actually cared about.

Where to buy it

The Tissot PRX Quartz Chronograph is available now through Tissot’s online boutique and retail network, priced at $525.

The best casual watches for men (to upgrade your everyday style)

Work wear blues watch close up

Watches are more than a tool. They are more than an accessory. They are the kind of tool and accessory that make a statement. They are an expression. They are a statement. A man can look incredible: the right top, the right bottom, great shoes, great hat. The wrong watch can ruin a look, or even the whole essence. Here is the rub: the wrong watch can be subjective. For instance, most people will tell you that a Timex broken watch isn’t the right watch for a pinstripe power suit. However, it was my grandfather’s watch, and I wear it anytime I need him and his guidance. The point? That is never the wrong watch. Once you find a casual watch that works for you, it will be your everyday wear and will never be the wrong watch.

That is what I collected here: The best of the casual watches you can pick up today that will become your everyday wear.

Audemars Piguet launches pre-owned program to rival the titan of the second-hand watch market

Audemars Piguet

Rolex has dominated the watch world for nearly a century. The industry is a deep and complicated web of luxury houses and independent hopefuls. While brands like Patek Phillipe and Cartier vie for their place on the podium, Rolex holds a death grip on the chronophile’s aspirational collection checklist. But Audemars Piguet has decided to challenge them somewhere most other brands are deciding to ignore: the pre-owned market. Now, while something like the Royal Oak is an icon among enthusiasts, AP launching their own certified pre-owned marketplace to chase the reported $1 billion Rolex pie will certainly upset the market.

Like I said, it is a deep and complicated web, so I sat down with a horological expert and founder of WatchGuys, (317K on Instagram), Robertino Altieri, to have him walk me through what this means for watches and their passionate collectors.
