FAQs
What is the power reserve of the Powermatic 80 movement?
The Powermatic 80 movement offers an impressive power reserve of up to 80 hours, meaning the watch will continue to run for three days even if it is not being worn.
How do I care for the 18k rose gold bezel?
Gently wipe the bezel with a soft microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishing compounds that could remove the gold plating or finish. For significant discoloration, consult a professional jeweler or watch service center.
Are the diamonds on the dial genuine?
Yes, the dial is adorned with 44 genuine Top Wesselton diamonds, known for their clarity and brilliance.
Can I wear this watch while swimming?
The watch has a water resistance of 100 meters (10 ATM). This means it can withstand splashes and brief immersion in water, but it is not suitable for swimming, diving, or high-velocity water sports.
How do I maintain the automatic movement?
To maintain the automatic movement, wear the watch regularly or manually wind it about 30-40 turns clockwise if it has stopped. Regular servicing (every 3-5 years) by an authorized Tissot service center is also recommended.
What is the significance of the 'PRX' name?
The 'PRX' designation stands for 'Precise', 'Robust', and 'X-perience', reflecting the watch's design philosophy and capabilities.
Is the 35mm size suitable for everyone?
The 35mm case size is considered a classic and versatile size. It tends to fit well on smaller to medium wrists and offers a more understated look. For those who prefer larger watches, Tissot also offers the PRX collection in larger case diameters.
Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped running.
The watch may have run out of power reserve. Manually wind the crown approximately 30-40 turns clockwise until resistance is felt. If the issue persists, it may require professional servicing.
Inaccurate timekeeping.
Ensure the watch is being worn regularly to keep the power reserve charged. If the inaccuracy is significant (e.g., losing or gaining several minutes per day), the movement may need adjustment or servicing. Avoid strong magnetic fields, which can affect accuracy.
Difficulty setting the date.
Consult the user manual for the correct procedure. Generally, avoid changing the date when the time is between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement. Ensure the crown is pulled out to the correct position for date setting.
Scratches on the crystal.
While sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant, deep impacts can still cause damage. Minor scratches may be polished by a professional watchmaker. Significant damage requires crystal replacement.
Pros and Cons

- Extended 80-hour power reserve for less frequent winding.
- Luxurious combination of stainless steel and 18k rose gold.
- Elegant diamond hour markers add significant visual appeal.

Cons
- The 35mm case size may be considered small by those preferring larger watches.
- Automatic movement requires regular wear or periodic winding to maintain accuracy.
- Diamond embellishments increase the price point.
- While water-resistant to 100m, it's not intended for deep diving.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This is an automatic watch, meaning it is powered by the movement of the wearer's wrist. If the watch has stopped, you will need to wind the crown manually until you feel resistance. Then, set the time and date. Refer to the specific Tissot manual for detailed instructions on setting the time and date, especially regarding the date change mechanism to avoid damage.
Compatibility:
This is a standalone mechanical watch. Compatibility is primarily related to wrist size and strap preference. The integrated bracelet design means strap replacements are specific to Tissot PRX models.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the case, bracelet, and crystal gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Winding: If not worn daily, wind the crown manually about 30-40 turns clockwise before wearing to ensure it's fully powered.
- Water Resistance: While rated to 100m, avoid prolonged exposure to water and ensure the crown is fully pushed in or screwed down (if applicable to the model) before any water contact. Have the water resistance checked periodically, especially if exposed to saltwater or chemicals.
- Servicing: Mechanical watches typically require servicing every 3-5 years to maintain optimal performance. Consult an authorized Tissot service center.
