Tissot Introduces the First Quartz PRX Chronograph

A £1,265 price reduction has altered the landscape for one of modern horology's most recognizable designs. Tissot launched the first quartz edition of its PRX Chronograph, formally expanding the blockbuster series. The release delivers a significantly more affordable iteration of the cult-favourite model, introducing a specific chronograph combination that had been missing from earlier iterations of the line.

Specialist watch writers quickly focused on the sharp drop in cost and its impact on enthusiast appeal. Esquire documented that the switch to a quartz movement made the PRX Chronograph £1,265 cheaper, while Gear Patrol and The Manual tracked the release as a major accessibility shift for the popular collection. Critical reaction followed swiftly, with Two Broke Watch Snobs noting that the new quartz version offered unexpected advantages over costlier predecessors.

The PRX line now features a dedicated quartz chronograph for the first time, as verified by WatchTime. By combining the silhouette of its flagship chronograph with a substantially lower retail threshold, Tissot positions the new timepiece as a primary entry point into its integrated sports watch collection. The watch is now circulating through global coverage as retail availability commences.
