The Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 T137.407.11.041.00 is a 40 mm stainless steel sports watch with an integrated bracelet, inspired by Tissot’s 1970s PRX. Its 316L steel case is 10.93 mm thick and measures 39.5 mm in length, with a steel bezel and a sapphire crystal that has an anti-reflective coating on its underside. The blue dial carries applied indexes, and Super-LumiNova on the hands. It is powered by Tissot’s Swiss automatic Powermatic 80 movement, which uses a patented Nivachron balance spring and provides an 80-hour power reserve. Water resistance is rated at 10 bar (100 meters).

The watch shows hours, minutes, central seconds and the date. A see-through caseback shows the movement. The integrated stainless steel bracelet uses Tissot’s interchangeable quick-release system and closes with a butterfly clasp with push-buttons. The watch weighs 138 g. Tissot lists the T137.407.11.041.00 at USD 850 on its US site.

The PRX Powermatic 80 is one of the most talked-about Swiss watches under $1,000. Reviewers consistently praise the retro integrated-bracelet design, the quality of the bracelet and case finishing for the price, and the practical 80-hour power reserve, which lets the watch sit over a weekend and keep running. The most common reservations are its fairly flat, wide profile on the wrist and how widespread the model has become. The PRX Powermatic 80 40mm blue dial is currently in production and sold through Tissot’s official online store and retailers.
