About PRX
Tissot says ‘PR’ stands for either “Particularly Robust” or “Precision and Resistance”. Advertising from the era emphasizes the timepiece’s robustness. This was thanks to the movement’s flexible joints and the synthetic materials used serving as shock absorbers. the ‘X’ in the name comes from its 10 bars of waterproofing.
