Where Swiss Heritage Meets Modern Design
Few watches capture the imagination of modern gentlemen quite like the Tissot PRX Powermatic 80. Celebrated for its integrated bracelet, retro-inspired design, and advanced Swiss movement, the PRX has taken the watch community by storm. Among its many variants, two stand out as icons of style and personality: the Ice Blue dial edition and the Gold variants.
Both models embody the perfect blend of Swiss precision and modern aesthetics, catering to different tastes—whether you prefer the cool sophistication of ice blue or the bold elegance of gold.
The Tissot PRX Powermatic 80: A Quick Overview
The PRX collection is a revival of Tissot’s 1978 design, a time when integrated bracelet sports watches were reshaping horology. Reintroduced in 2021, the PRX quickly became a modern success story thanks to its balance of heritage, affordability, and Swiss craftsmanship.
Key features of the collection include:
-
Integrated steel bracelet for a sleek, seamless design.
-
40mm stainless steel case, slim and versatile.
-
Powermatic 80 automatic movement with 80-hour power reserve.
-
Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and 100m water resistance.
Spotlight on the Ice Blue Dial Variant
Case Dimensions and Bracelet Design
The Ice Blue PRX maintains the iconic 40mm case and tapered steel bracelet. With its polished and brushed finishing, it feels like a watch that costs far more than its actual price tag.
The Signature Ice Blue Dial Aesthetic
The Ice Blue dial is what truly sets this variant apart. With a subtle waffle texture, the dial plays with light beautifully, shifting shades depending on the angle. It strikes the perfect balance between playful and refined, making it suitable for both casual and formal settings.
How to Style the Ice Blue PRX
-
Business Wear: Pairs well with navy or grey suits.
-
Casual Outfits: Complements light denim, white shirts, and summer tones.
-
Evening Wear: Adds a refreshing pop of color without being flashy.
Spotlight on the Gold Variants
Full Gold Plated PRX Powermatic 80
For those who appreciate luxury and boldness, the full gold-plated PRX offers an unmistakable wrist presence. It’s a statement piece that channels the glamour of the 1970s while retaining modern refinement.
Bi-Color Steel & Gold Editions
The two-tone PRX blends stainless steel with gold accents, providing a more versatile option. It captures attention while remaining subtle enough for everyday wear.
Luxury Appeal and Formal Styling
Gold editions work best for formal occasions, black-tie events, or when you want to make a strong impression. Unlike the cool Ice Blue, the Gold variant emphasizes warmth, tradition, and status.
