Tissot have had a pretty interesting year in 2025 with more anime collaborations courtesy of Grendizer as well as the revival of the iconoclastic Rock Watch. Now though, they’re turning their attention to one of their most popular and mainstream collections, the PRX, which has been reimagined in two new materials. The PRX Titanium and PRX Damascus Steel.
Despite the new materials, the overall structure and design of the collection remain unchanged. They’re each 38mm in diameter with an integrated bracelet or strap and circular bezel. It’s the familiar 1980s heritage design that has been popular since, well, since the 80s but that which had a major revival around 2021.
Getting into the nuances of the new materials, this is the first time that titanium has been used in the PRX line (perhaps overdue), adding its lightweight convenience as well as impressive strength to density ratio that makes it a worthy rival to steel. It also has a darker grey colour that gives it a distinctive appearance, emphasising more of the quasi-industrial influences of the integrated bracelet archetype. The Tissot PRX Titanium is available with a choice of two dials, either blue or a matching grey with golden accents – both with the signature waffle texture of the collection.
The PRX Damascus Steel is the more surprising of the two models, introducing the material for the first time not only to the PRX but also Tissot in general. It has the classic striated pattern that’s a signature element of the metal, which is traditionally created by forging steels with different carbon compositions together in a folding process. It’s a metalworking technique that has seen a much wider adoption in 2025 than ever before. This model features a Damascus steel dial to match the case and is presented on an embossed leather strap, presumably because a Damascus bracelet is a step too far at the moment.
Both the PRX Titanium and Damascus house the Powermatic 80 movement, a staple among a range of brands in the Swatch Group. It stands out for its impressive 80-hour power reserve that makes it great value for money. Though in order to achieve that it does sacrifice a bit of frequency, it beats at 3 Hz, which can lower the accuracy compared to higher frequency movements.
As for pricing, the PRX Titanium is £795 while the Damascus is £960, both of which are understandably higher than the standard steel models. I’m glad they have been kept at sub-£1,000 otherwise it would feel like they are losing a key part of the PRX identity, which is their attractive value.
