Summer has arrived, which means we're all gathering fresh, cool, delicious products, right?
And what could be better than mint green versions of the highly popular Tissot PRX Automatic 35mm & 40mm? How about a gradient dark green edition of the PRX Chronograph? You're in luck: now you can have both. You see, Tissot has just quietly released three new models: the mint green dial has transitioned from the quartz model to the automatic, and the new dial for the chronograph is a new shade of green with a new pattern and finish. Here's what we know so far. And yes, we'll try to get our hands on them to check them out personally!
Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 35mm & 40mm Mint Green
The Tissot PRX Automatic collection has become a true hit in the watch industry. It was launched at the perfect time, as the luxury sports segment was booming just before its appearance. Tissot did everything very wisely: drawing inspiration from a vintage model, installing a very powerful automatic movement, and gradually expanding the collection. Now it is available in two sizes - 35 and 40 mm, and it truly has something to offer everyone. The new addition to the lineup is the mint green dial for the PRX Automatic model - a color that was previously only characteristic of the quartz version.
The new dial is crafted in the same style as other editions, featuring a textured tapisserie pattern, applied markers, and hands with Super-LumiNova luminescent coating, and a framed date window. The watch is equipped with an automatic Powermatic 80 movement offering a comfortable 80-hour power reserve. The integrated stainless steel bracelet can be easily swapped thanks to the quick-release system. The price for both sizes is 775 euros.

Tissot PRX Automatic Chronograph Green
Alongside the appetizing mint green versions of the PRX Automatic, Tissot has also added a new color to the PRX Chronograph collection. The technical specifications remain unchanged, with the update only affecting the dial. The color seems new, but this may be due to the gradient finish. We will try to see it live later. However, it's important to note that the dial now features a waffle (or tapisserie, if you prefer) pattern, as well as a framed date window, which was absent in previous versions. Dressed in a new dark green tone, they look simply stunning!
Beneath the rear glass beats the ETA A05.H31, familiar from previous models. This heavily modified Valjoux 7753 is driven by a semi-open central rotor and offers 60 hours of autonomy. In addition to central hours and minutes, it indicates a small seconds hand at 9 o'clock, chronograph hours and minutes at 6 and 3 o'clock, a chronograph seconds hand in the center, and a date in a framed window at 4:30. Tissot placed the new PRX Chronograph Green on the same integrated steel bracelet. The price is set at 2,045 euros.
