The New PRC 100 Solar: Harness the Power of the Sun
Tissot, the Swiss watchmaker, presents the PRC 100 Solar. Anchored by its iconic dodecagonal bezel, it brings nature and technology together, transforming solar energy into limitless power.
First introduced in the mid-2000s, the PRC 100 was recognised for its striking design, carving out its place in Tissot’s collection. Today, it returns with a pioneering Lightmaster Solar Quartz movement, harnessing photovoltaic energy to fuel every second.
True to its name, Precise, Robust, and Classic, the PRC 100 Solar features a bold silhouette and a sunray dial that create a striking interplay of textures, giving the watch a strong presence on the wrist. Available in two sizes, 39mm and 34mm in a range of variations with leather or stainless-steel bracelets, the PRC 100 Solar is an invitation to seize the day and every opportunity it brings—turning light into power and ambition into action, because the future belongs to those who dare to create it.
Following the Sun, Moving with Purpose
Like the sun’s journey across the horizon, the PRC 100 Solar offers a spectrum of choices, each capturing a distinct expression of confidence. All five versions with a 39mm case, bring their own presence, ready to move with you. The stainless-steel models come in two variations: a silver sunray dial that plays with reflections or a deep blue dial that captures depth and dimension. For a more striking presence, the full-black model with a matching bracelet delivers undeniable character. Meanwhile, two leather-strap options create contrast—stainless steel paired with brown leather for a classic touch, or full black with a smooth black leather strap, as deep as the evening sky.
Later in the year, the PRC 100 Solar 34mm will complete the lineup, marking a new dawn in the collection’s evolution. It will be introducing refined proportions and a luminous palette, designed for those who embrace their own radiance. These will come in stainless-steel models with a silver or light blue sunray dial that catches every reflection. Another warm glow of a two-tone PVD rose gold variation adds depth, leading to the brilliance of a full yellow gold PVD model, every hue making its own statement. The PRC 100 Solar 34mm is a statement that isn’t just found in the light—it’s found in you.
When night falls, each PRC 100 Solar continues to shine. Super-LumiNova®-coated hands and indexes ensure visibility long after the sun sets, so time is always within sight. Whether seizing the day or continuing after sundown, this timepiece illuminates the path ahead.
As Unstoppable as the Sun
Drawing energy from light, the PRC 100 Solar introduces a new era of innovation for Tissot. Equipped with a quartz solar movement and advanced Lightmaster technology, it absorbs both natural and artificial light as it passes through the sapphire crystal, where discreet solar panels convert and store it in a rechargeable accumulator. Even in environments with limited sunlight, the watch remains charged under artificial lighting.
Beyond its sustainable source, the precision of the quartz movement guarantees unwavering accuracy, while its optimised consumption extends power retention, keeping the PRC 100 Solar running far beyond exposure to light. Designed for endurance, it comes with an extended warranty, offering an additional year of coverage beyond the standard two, for a total of three years, ensuring lasting reliability and peace of mind. Free from the need for battery replacements, it’s built for those who never pause, always charged, always moving forward like the force that keeps the world turning, it’s a constant, ready for every moment.
