The Tissot PRX in vibrant red dial configuration represents a bold reinterpretation of 1970s integrated bracelet design, executed with contemporary precision. Housed in a 40mm 316L stainless steel case with distinctive tonneau-inspired silhouette, this quartz timepiece delivers Swiss accuracy and vintage-modern aesthetic in equal measure. The sunburst red dial—gradient-finished and richly saturated—features applied baton indices, polished dauphine hands, and a date window at 3 o'clock, all protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The integrated stainless steel bracelet, with its signature waffle texture and seamless case integration, offers quick-release functionality for effortless strap changes.
At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for Tissot watches, ensuring every timepiece comes with full manufacturer warranty and brand provenance. The PRX Quartz collection has redefined accessible luxury, merging iconic 1970s codes with modern wearability, and this red dial variant stands as one of the most distinctive expressions in the range. The slim 10.40mm case profile ensures exceptional comfort on the wrist, whilst the Swiss quartz movement guarantees chronometric precision and minimal servicing requirements.
This reference T137.410.11.421.00 is immediately recognisable by its striking red dial—a colour choice that elevates the PRX's retro-futurist character. The tonneau case shape, integrated bracelet construction, and horizontal brushing technique across the links echo the geometric design language that defined 1970s haute horology. Water-resistant to 10 bar (100 metres), the PRX is suitable for swimming and recreational aquatic activities, though it is not intended for diving. The quick-release bracelet system allows owners to personalise their watch with alternative straps, expanding versatility across formal and casual contexts.
Visit us at our Mall of the South boutique to experience the PRX in person, where our horological specialists can assist with sizing and fit. Should you require future adjustment, battery replacement, or servicing, our watch servicing and repairs team is always on hand to maintain your timepiece to factory standards. We offer secure nationwide delivery across South Africa, ensuring your Tissot arrives fully insured and ready to wear.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming?
A: Yes, with 10 bar (100 metres) water resistance, the PRX Quartz is suitable for swimming and showering. However, it is not designed for diving or high-impact water sports. Avoid operating the crown underwater and ensure the crown is fully pushed in before water exposure.
Q: What type of movement does this watch use and how long does the battery last?
A: The PRX Quartz uses a Swiss-made quartz movement, known for superior accuracy and reliability. Battery life typically extends 2-3 years under normal use. When replacement is needed, our authorised service team at Cassims & Co. can replace the battery whilst maintaining water-resistance integrity.

A: Yes, the PRX features Tissot's quick-release bracelet system, allowing you to swap between the integrated steel bracelet and alternative straps without tools. This enables versatile styling from boardroom to weekend wear. Visit our boutique to explore compatible strap options.
Q: What makes the red dial variant special compared to other PRX colours?
A: The red sunburst dial is one of the most distinctive and limited colour options in the PRX collection. Its gradient finish shifts in tone depending on light angle, creating depth and visual interest. This reference appeals to collectors seeking a bold statement piece that retains the PRX's vintage-modern character.
Q: Will this 40mm case size suit my wrist?
A: The 40mm case diameter and 10.40mm thickness represent contemporary standard sizing, suitable for wrist circumferences from 15cm to 20cm. The integrated bracelet design and tonneau case shape ensure the watch wears true to size without visual overhang. We recommend trying it on at our Mall of the South boutique for personalised fit assessment.

Care Guide
- Water Resistance: Rated to 10 bar (100 metres). Suitable for swimming and showering. Avoid operating the crown or pushers when the watch is wet or submerged. Rinse with fresh water after saltwater or chlorinated pool exposure.
- Crystal Care: The sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant but not shatterproof. Avoid impact against hard surfaces such as concrete, tile, or metal.
- Bracelet Maintenance: Clean the stainless steel bracelet regularly with a soft cloth and warm soapy water. Dry thoroughly to prevent water spots. The brushed finish can accumulate dirt between links—use a soft brush for detailed cleaning.
- Movement Servicing: Quartz movements require minimal maintenance. Replace the battery every 2-3 years at an authorised service centre to maintain water resistance and accuracy. Never attempt battery replacement yourself, as this may compromise seals.
- Storage: When not in use, store your PRX in its original box or a watch case away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and magnetic fields. Avoid storing near speakers, mobile phones, or magnetic clasps.
- Chemical Exposure: Avoid contact with solvents, perfumes, cosmetics, cleaning products, and chlorine, all of which can damage seals, finishing, and bracelet lustre.
- Crown Operation: Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in after setting time or date. Do not force the crown—if resistance is felt, consult an authorised watchmaker.
- Professional Servicing: We recommend a complete service inspection every 4-5 years, including gasket replacement, water-resistance testing, and movement cleaning. Our authorised service team at Cassims & Co. can coordinate all servicing requirements.
