The Tissot PRX 40mm in full gold PVD stainless steel is an icon of 1970s-inspired design, reimagined with Swiss precision for the modern collector. This quartz-powered timepiece marries the era's defining integrated bracelet silhouette with Tissot's signature attention to detail, delivering a watch that is both unmistakably vintage in aesthetic and thoroughly contemporary in execution. The radial brushed gold dial, punctuated by applied baton indices and a discreet date window at three o'clock, captures light with a mesmerising horizontal grain that shifts as the wrist moves. The warm gold PVD coating across the 316L stainless steel case and five-link bracelet offers durability and scratch resistance, ensuring this heirloom-quality piece retains its lustre through decades of wear.
Powered by a reliable Swiss quartz movement, the PRX delivers accuracy within seconds per month, making it an ideal daily companion for those who value punctuality and low-maintenance performance. The slender case profile—characteristic of the PRX lineage—sits comfortably under a shirt cuff, while the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial from the rigours of everyday life. Water-resistant to 100 metres, this watch is suited to splashes, swimming, and surface water sports, though it is not intended for diving. The integrated bracelet features a quick-release system and is secured with a push-button deployment clasp, combining security with wearing comfort.

FAQ
Q: Is this a mechanical or battery-powered watch?
A: This Tissot PRX is powered by a Swiss quartz movement, which is battery-operated. Quartz movements are renowned for their precision and low-maintenance nature, typically requiring a battery replacement every 2-3 years depending on usage.
Q: Can I swim or shower with this watch?
A: Yes. With 100 metres of water resistance, this watch is suitable for swimming, showering, and recreational surface water sports. However, it is not designed for diving or high-impact water activities. We recommend avoiding operating the crown or pushers while the watch is submerged or wet.
Q: Is the gold finish prone to fading or scratching?
A: The PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) gold coating is a highly durable process that bonds the gold tone to the stainless steel at a molecular level. It is significantly more resistant to fading and scratching than traditional gold plating. With proper care, the finish will remain vibrant for many years.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized to fit my wrist?
A: Absolutely. The integrated bracelet features removable links, allowing our team to resize it to your exact wrist circumference. We offer complimentary sizing when you purchase the watch from Cassim & Co., and the quick-release system allows for tool-free strap changes if you wish to add aftermarket straps in future.
Q: Does this watch come with a manufacturer's warranty?
A: Yes. As an authorised Tissot retailer, Cassim & Co. provides the full 2-year international Tissot warranty, covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty is valid from the date of purchase and does not cover normal wear, battery replacements, or accidental damage.
Q: What is the thickness of the case?
A: While the exact thickness is not publicly specified by Tissot for this reference, the PRX collection is known for its slim profile, typically between 10mm and 11mm. This allows the watch to slide easily under a shirt cuff, making it an excellent choice for both formal and casual wear.
Q: Is this watch suitable for both men and women?
A: The 40mm case diameter is traditionally considered a men's size, but watch sizing is ultimately a matter of personal preference and wrist proportions. Many women with larger wrists or a preference for bolder timepieces choose 40mm watches. We recommend trying the watch on in person to determine the ideal fit for your style.
Warranty
- Warranty Period: This Tissot watch is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase.
- Warranty Coverage: The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- What Is Not Covered: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacements, scratches or cosmetic damage, damage caused by accidents or misuse, water damage resulting from failure to observe water resistance guidelines, or damage caused by unauthorised service or repairs.
- Validity: The warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Tissot retailer, such as Cassim & Co. Proof of purchase (receipt or warranty card) must be presented for any warranty claims.
- Service: For warranty service or repairs, contact Cassim & Co. or an authorised Tissot service centre. Unauthorised servicing will void the warranty.
- Water Resistance: Water resistance is not covered under warranty unless a manufacturing defect is proven. Regular water resistance testing and gasket replacement are considered routine maintenance and are the owner's responsibility.
Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals such as perfumes, solvents, and cleaning agents, which can damage the PVD coating and seals.
- Cleaning: Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils, dust, and perspiration. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soapy water, ensuring the crown is fully pushed in, then dry thoroughly.
- Water Resistance Maintenance: Water resistance is not permanent. Gaskets and seals degrade over time due to exposure to temperature changes, chlorine, and saltwater. We recommend having your watch's water resistance tested annually, particularly if you swim or shower with it regularly.
- Battery Replacement: When the battery requires replacement, visit an authorised Tissot service centre or Cassim & Co. to ensure the watch is properly resealed and tested for water resistance after the battery is changed. Attempting to replace the battery yourself may void the warranty and compromise water resistance.
- Bracelet Care: The integrated five-link bracelet may collect dirt and skin oils between links. Use a soft brush with soapy water to gently clean between the links, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners unless professionally supervised.
- Storage: When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. A watch box or pouch will protect it from dust and accidental impacts.
- Servicing: Quartz watches require minimal servicing compared to mechanical movements, but we recommend a professional inspection every 3-5 years to ensure all components remain in optimal condition.
