Tissot PRX Digital

About This Watch

The Tissot PRX Digital is a deliberate homage to the original 1978 PRX, which was itself a digital watch — making this modern reissue arguably the most historically faithful member of the current PRX family. While the automatic PRX models channel the integrated-bracelet luxury sports watch aesthetic of the 1970s, the PRX Digital connects directly to the era's digital revolution that saw brands from Casio to Omega producing LED and LCD timepieces. The retro-styled digital display uses a negative LCD screen with segmented digits that evoke the original without slavish reproduction, maintaining legibility while delivering genuine nostalgic charm. The functionality suite includes chronograph timing, alarm, second time zone, and backlight — the practical digital toolkit that made these watches revolutionary in the late 1970s. At 40mm and just 9.7mm thick, the PRX Digital is actually slimmer than its automatic counterpart, the absence of a mechanical movement allowing for a more refined profile that sits closer to the wrist. The stainless steel case and integrated bracelet maintain identical finishing standards to the mechanical PRX models — the same careful alternation of polished and brushed surfaces, the same butterfly clasp, the same overall visual language. The sapphire crystal is a notable upgrade over the acrylic or mineral glass found on most digital watches. At $395, the PRX Digital occupies a fascinating niche: it is simultaneously a legitimate retro reissue, a functional everyday digital watch, and a fashion-forward design statement. It appeals equally to collectors who appreciate the historical reference, tech-oriented buyers who value digital functionality, and style-conscious consumers who want something genuinely different from the sea of analog watches dominating the market.
