The Tissot PRX 35mm Quartz is a refined interpretation of the iconic PRX collection, tailored for those who appreciate the timeless elegance of integrated bracelet design in a compact, versatile case size. This model showcases a striking white mother-of-pearl dial that captures and reflects light with organic luminosity, creating a dynamic interplay of iridescence on the wrist. The dial's sunray finish radiates outward from the centre, enhanced by applied silver-tone baton indices and slender hour and minute hands that maintain the collection's signature minimalist aesthetic. A discreet date window at 3 o'clock adds practical functionality without disrupting the dial's balanced symmetry.
Housed in a 35mm stainless steel case with a gently contoured bezel and integrated bracelet, this timepiece exemplifies the neo-vintage design language that has made the PRX collection a contemporary classic. The case features alternating brushed and polished surfaces that catch the light from multiple angles, whilst the integrated bracelet employs a tapering geometry and articulated links that ensure comfort and supple drape across the wrist. A Swiss-made quartz movement powers the watch with precision and reliability, offering the convenience of low-maintenance timekeeping for the modern wearer. Water-resistant to 100 metres, this PRX is equally at home in professional settings as it is accompanying you through active leisure pursuits.
At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for Tissot watches, ensuring that every timepiece we offer is backed by full manufacturer warranty and genuine after-sales support. The 35mm case diameter makes this PRX an exceptional choice for those seeking a unisex or smaller watch that retains commanding presence without overwhelming slender wrists, whilst the mother-of-pearl dial elevates it beyond everyday sports-elegance into refined dress-watch territory. Whether you're drawn to the PRX's 1970s-inspired design codes or simply appreciate Swiss horological craftsmanship at an accessible price point, this model delivers on both aesthetic appeal and functional versatility.
We invite you to experience this watch in person at our Mall of the South boutique in Johannesburg, where our horological specialists can assist with sizing, styling advice, and detailed examination of the dial's captivating mother-of-pearl finish.

FAQ
Q: What is the actual case size of this Tissot PRX, and who is it suited for?
A: This PRX features a 35mm case diameter, making it an ideal choice for those who prefer smaller, more refined proportions. It works beautifully as a unisex timepiece, fitting comfortably on wrist sizes from 14cm to 18cm. The integrated bracelet design and balanced dial layout ensure the watch maintains strong visual presence despite the compact dimensions.
Q: Is this a quartz or automatic movement?
A: This model is powered by a Swiss quartz movement, offering superior accuracy (typically ±15 seconds per month) and low-maintenance convenience. Unlike automatic movements, it requires no winding and will run continuously for approximately 3-4 years on a single battery. Battery replacement services are available through our Johannesburg boutique.
Q: What makes mother-of-pearl dials special?
A: Mother-of-pearl is a natural material harvested from mollusc shells, prized in watchmaking for its organic iridescence and light-refractive properties. Each dial exhibits unique patterns and colour variations, meaning no two watches are identical. The material shifts in appearance depending on viewing angle and lighting conditions, creating a dynamic, living quality on the wrist.
Q: Can I swim or shower with this watch?
A: With 100-metre water resistance, this PRX is suitable for swimming, showering, and recreational water activities. However, we advise against operating the crown whilst the watch is wet or submerged, and recommend avoiding hot showers or saunas, as extreme temperature changes can compromise the seals. After exposure to chlorinated or salt water, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry thoroughly.
Q: How do I adjust the integrated bracelet?
A: The PRX bracelet features a quick-release system that allows strap changes without tools, though link removal for sizing does require a small screwdriver or pin pusher. We provide complimentary professional sizing with every purchase at our Mall of the South location. If you order for delivery, we include instructions and can guide you through remote sizing, or you may visit any competent watchmaker for adjustment.
Q: Does this watch come with the full Tissot warranty?
A: Yes. As authorised Tissot retailers, every watch we sell includes the full 2-year international manufacturer warranty, valid from date of purchase. This covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty card will be stamped and dated by Cassims & Co., and the watch is registered with Tissot Switzerland for global coverage.
Q: What is the difference between this 35mm PRX and the 40mm version?
A: Beyond the 5mm case diameter difference, the 35mm model is typically available with quartz movements and often features more refined dial executions such as mother-of-pearl or sunray finishes. The 40mm variants include both quartz and automatic Powermatic 80 options. The 35mm case offers a more vintage-proportioned, dress-oriented aesthetic, whilst the 40mm leans toward contemporary sports-elegance. Both share the same iconic integrated bracelet design language.
Warranty
- Warranty Period: This Tissot PRX is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase.
- Warranty Coverage: The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, including movement malfunctions, case or crystal defects, and bracelet failures that arise from factory faults.
- Authorised Retailer Requirement: This warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Tissot retailer such as Cassims & Co. The warranty card must be fully completed, stamped, and dated at the time of sale.
- What Is Not Covered: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, scratches, dents or surface damage to the case, bracelet, or crystal; battery replacement; damage caused by accidents, misuse, or improper handling; water damage resulting from failure to ensure the crown was properly secured or from operating the watch beyond its rated water resistance; damage from unauthorised repairs or servicing; loss or theft of the watch.
- Warranty Claims Process: Should you experience any issues covered under warranty, contact Cassims & Co. with your proof of purchase and warranty card. We will assess the watch and liaise directly with Tissot's authorised service centres to arrange repair or replacement as per the warranty terms.
- Battery Replacement: Battery replacement is considered routine maintenance and is not covered under the manufacturer warranty. This service is available at Cassims & Co. for a nominal fee, performed by qualified watchmakers with genuine Tissot-approved components.

Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Avoid impacts, knocks, and contact with hard surfaces that may scratch the case, bracelet, or sapphire crystal. Remove the watch before engaging in contact sports or heavy manual labour.
- Water Exposure: Although water-resistant to 100 metres, always ensure the crown is pushed fully in and never operate it whilst the watch is wet or submerged. Rinse with fresh water after exposure to chlorinated pools or sea water, and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Temperature and Magnetism: Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures (below 0°C or above 60°C) and strong magnetic fields (speakers, magnetic clasps, MRI machines), as these can affect quartz movement accuracy.
- Cleaning: Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet regularly using a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water. For deeper cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush with mild soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely. Never use chemical cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials.
- Mother-of-Pearl Dial Care: The dial is protected beneath sapphire crystal and requires no direct maintenance. Avoid sudden temperature shocks and prolonged UV exposure, which may, over decades, affect the organic material's lustre.
- Battery Replacement: When the seconds hand begins jumping in 4-second intervals or the watch stops, the battery requires replacement. Only have batteries changed by qualified watchmakers to ensure water resistance is maintained through proper gasket replacement and pressure testing. This service is available at Cassims & Co.
- Storage: When not worn, store the watch in its original box or a dedicated watch case, away from direct sunlight, moisture, and magnetic sources. Avoid storing near mothballs or other volatile chemicals.
- Servicing Schedule: We recommend a complete service every 4-5 years, including movement inspection, gasket replacement, and water-resistance testing. Contact our servicing team to arrange manufacturer-approved maintenance.
- Bracelet Maintenance: Periodically check bracelet pins and screws for tightness. If the bracelet feels loose or links appear misaligned, visit our boutique for professional inspection and adjustment.
