When Tissot first announced the PRX Powermatic 80 in 35mm in June, it came in four dial colors: blue, black, green, and white mother of pearl. Now, it’s adding the fan-favorite ice blue to the mid-sized PRX. It’s a natural addition to the mid-sized collection, coming a few months after Tissot added the ice-blue dial to the 40mm lineup. Other than that, it’s the same stamped tapisserie dial, with Super-LumiNova hands and indices, and a date window at three o’clock. Inside, of course, is the Tissot Powermatic 80, an ETA movement that’s modified by Tissot to beat at a lower frequency with a longer power reserve.
Beside the ice-blue PRX 35mm, Tissot also announced a gold PVD-coated version, paired with a matching gold-colored tapisserie dial. Like the non-coated stainless steel version, this gold PVD version features a mostly brushed case and bracelet, with polished bevels and details.
The ice-blue dial joins the existing PRX Powermatic 35mm collection at $695, while the gold version has an MSRP of $825.
