Tissot PRX Powermatic 80

Model Reference: T137.407.11.041.00

This is one of the most popular versions of the Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 — a modern-classic integrated bracelet watch with strong 1970s design DNA (inspired by the original PRX from 1978).

Design & Aesthetics

• Case: 40mm diameter, tonneau-shaped (gently curved rectangular with rounded edges) in 316L stainless steel. Features a mix of brushed and polished finishes. Thickness is approximately 10.9–11mm — slim and comfortable under the cuff.
• Dial: Striking Ice Blue color with a textured tapisserie / waffle / honeycomb pattern. This gives it excellent depth and a premium look.
• Markers & Hands: Applied silver-toned indices and baton hands with Super-LumiNova for low-light readability. The hands have a distinctive shape (especially the hour hand).
• Date: Small date window at 3 o’clock.
• Crystal: Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating.
• Caseback: Exhibition (see-through) caseback, allowing you to view the movement.

Overall Impression

The Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 Blue is widely praised for offering exceptional value. It has a luxurious integrated bracelet design that many compare (in style) to much more expensive watches like the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak or Patek Philippe Nautilus, but at a far more accessible price point. It’s versatile enough for both formal and casual wear.
