Q: What is the Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 35mm (Ref. T137.207.11.041.00)? A: It’s a modern Swiss‑made automatic watch with an integrated stainless‑steel case and bracelet, a 35mm case size, and a textured blue dial. The PRX design is inspired by late‑1970s Tissot aesthetics, combining slim elegance with everyday practicality.
Q: What movement does it use and what is the power reserve? A: It houses Tissot’s Powermatic 80 automatic movement with approximately 80 hours of power reserve. It supports hand‑winding and hacking (the seconds hand stops for precise setting) and features a date display at 3 o’clock.
Q: Is it water‑resistant and can I swim with it? A: The PRX Powermatic 80 is originally rated to 100 metres water resistance. As this is a pre‑owned watch, water resistance cannot be guaranteed without recent testing and resealing. We recommend avoiding swimming or showering unless it has been pressure‑tested; always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any exposure to moisture.
Q: How does the 35mm PRX wear, and is it unisex? A: The 35mm case offers a compact, balanced profile enhanced by the integrated bracelet, making it suitable for small to medium wrists and comfortably unisex. If you prefer a larger presence, the 40mm PRX is an alternative; the 35mm provides a more vintage‑classic proportion.
Q: How do I size the bracelet and will it fit my wrist? A: This example has an approximate bracelet length of 18cm. We can size the bracelet prior to dispatch, and additional links may be sourced subject to availability. Strap alternatives for the PRX 35 are available from Tissot and reputable third‑party makers—contact us for compatibility guidance.
Q: How do I wind and set the time/date? A: Pull the crown to position 1 to hand‑wind (20–30 turns if the watch has stopped). Position 2 sets the date. Position 3 sets the time. Avoid changing the date between roughly 8pm and 2am to protect the mechanism. Push the crown back in firmly when finished; the watch will self‑wind as you wear it.
Q: What materials and crystal does it feature? A: The case and bracelet are stainless steel, and the PRX Powermatic 80 typically uses a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal. The blue dial carries the PRX’s signature “waffle” texture for added depth and character.
Q: How accurate is the Powermatic 80 and when should it be serviced? A: The Powermatic 80 is known for strong reliability and long power reserve. Accuracy depends on wear and service history; a routine service every 5–7 years is commonly recommended. Keep the watch away from strong magnets and have it checked if you notice running fast/slow or any condensation.
Q: How does the PRX Powermatic 80 compare to the PRX Quartz? A: The Powermatic 80 is mechanical and self‑winding with an 80‑hour reserve, offering a smoother seconds hand and traditional watchmaking appeal. The PRX Quartz is battery‑powered, typically slimmer, and often more budget‑friendly with set‑and‑forget convenience. Both share the integrated PRX design language.
Q: What’s included with this watch, and is it authentic? A: This is a Full Set including the original box and certificate. A Retro Tale authenticates every item and provides a 12‑month mechanical guarantee. If you’d like additional photos, movement details, or bracelet sizing before purchase, we’re happy to help.
