The Tissot PRX with white rubber strap delivers a striking contemporary take on the iconic PRX silhouette, blending 1970s-inspired design codes with modern wearability. This 40mm round stainless steel case houses a clean silver dial with applied baton indices and a discreet date window at three o'clock, powered by a reliable Swiss quartz movement that demands minimal maintenance while delivering precision timekeeping. The textured white rubber strap offers exceptional comfort for everyday wear, contrasting beautifully with the brushed steel case to create a versatile aesthetic that transitions effortlessly from office to weekend.
Water-resistant to 100 metres, this PRX variant is built for active lifestyles without compromising on style.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming and water sports?
A: Yes, with 100 metres of water resistance, this PRX is suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and recreational water activities. However, avoid operating the crown underwater and rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to salt or chlorinated water to maintain the rubber strap and case finish.
Q: How often does the quartz movement require a battery change?
A: Swiss quartz movements typically provide 2-3 years of battery life depending on usage. When a battery replacement is needed, visit Cassims & Co. and our technical team will replace it with a genuine cell while checking the water resistance seals to maintain the watch's integrity.
Q: Can I replace the white rubber strap with a steel bracelet?
A: The 12mm lug width is compatible with aftermarket straps, though the integrated strap design is engineered specifically for this PRX variant. Contact our team for guidance on strap options and fitting to ensure proper case clearance and aesthetic harmony.
Q: Is the sapphire crystal truly scratch-proof?
A: Sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant and ranks 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it resistant to everyday wear and most materials. Only diamond or other sapphire can scratch it. However, it is not shatterproof—sharp impacts on hard surfaces should be avoided.
Q: What is the difference between this model and the PRX with steel bracelet?
A: This T137.410.17.011.00 features a white rubber strap with a textured waffle pattern, offering a more casual, sporty aesthetic and lighter weight (86g total) compared to the steel bracelet variants. The case, dial, and movement remain consistent across the PRX quartz range.
Q: Does the white rubber strap discolour over time?
A: High-quality rubber straps like those used by Tissot are formulated to resist yellowing and degradation. Regular cleaning with mild soap and water will maintain its appearance. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not wearing the watch, and keep it away from harsh chemicals or solvents.
Q: Is this watch covered by an international warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from Cassims & Co. as an authorised Tissot retailer, this watch includes a 2-year international manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty service is available through authorised service centres worldwide.

Care Guide
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water, chlorine, or perspiration to protect the rubber strap and stainless steel case from residue buildup.
- Clean the white rubber strap regularly using a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly to prevent discolouration and maintain its textured appearance.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct heat sources, or prolonged sunlight when not being worn, as these can degrade the rubber material over time.
- Do not operate the crown while the watch is submerged or wet—always ensure the crown is pushed fully in to maintain water resistance integrity.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from strong magnetic fields, which can affect quartz movement accuracy, and avoid contact with solvents, perfumes, or cosmetics that may damage the strap.
- Have the water resistance seals checked during battery replacement by a qualified watchmaker to ensure continued protection against moisture ingress.
- Wipe the sapphire crystal with a microfibre cloth to remove fingerprints and maintain clarity—avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the case finishing.
