    All those stringent tests and quality controls and some people still question Tissot. This company deserves a lot more credit than it gets. I had a Tissot many years ago. Wore it everyday, did a lot of rough work here and there, sports, swam with it, bumped it more times than I could remember and the thing worked perfectly for many years after I got it. Got the bracelet polished and gifted it to someone, and they still have it today and it works. About two decades after I got it.

    Tissot is doing lots of rights with the PRX family. Respecting its own heritage, adopting sizes that everyone can wear (people should stop complaining about a 37mm case, because 2mm won't kill), maintaing highly versatile specifications and aesthetics and expanding into a wide range of colours. Others brands should definitely follow. The automatic 35mm is a great addition.

    About dang time we got the PRX in the 35mm. The 40mm version always seemed too large proportionally but this is just perfect. And excellent timing too, as the trend now is a downsizing of watches back to the midsize 36-39mm range.
    The Sideral isn't for me, but I appreciate that they stay true to its roots, and doing it in a carbon fiber case is genuine too. Just as fibreglass was a space-age material of its time, so is carbon fibre in today's era.

    They finally nailed the date window on the PRX. It’s properly aligned with the rest of the indices whereas on the other models it was way off center. GS are masters of getting this design feature right.

    • @calmck2
      @calmck2 Рік тому +16

      The reason it is off centre on the larger sizes is because of the movement. The movement size is standard across the range, it never changes, so neither does the date wheel position internally. This means on larger watches it appears closer to the centre when looking at the dial, whilst it is further out towards the indices on smaller watches. By making the case smaller Tissot have put the date wheel in the correct place, they haven't engineered the movement too accomplish this as GS do.
      The Powermatic 80 is based on an ETA 2824, all companies utilising this movement have the same issue. Check out the excellent date position on the Hamilton Khaki Field Watch 38mm vs the poor placement on the 40mm with the printed "15" second indicator pushed horribly inwards!

    • @SunsetSheen
      @SunsetSheen Рік тому

      @@calmck2 Can't you just utilize a larger date wheel on larger models that would subsequently cause the date window to fall in line with the other indices? I'd be surprised if the manufacturer had to re-engineer the entire movement to accomplish this. This is evidenced by the many micro brands that use off the shelf movements and have perfectly aligned date windows. I think it's more so that Tissot is pumping out so many watches, and this is such a small detail to most, that they don't think it's worth the additional effort to properly align the date window. For those with OCD like myself, once you notice this design feature there's no unseeing it.

    Great video, wish Tissot would add textured dials and new colors to the Gentleman.
    A PRX and a Gentleman is a Brilliant 2 watch collection for a.1k.

    Big fan of anything Sylvain touches and he has definitely worked his magic with Tissot!

    Instant buy for me, the only reason I haven't bought a PRX for myself was that I wanted the 35mm Powermatic. I bought the 35mm Gold PVD for my wife and love the size, but wanted the different dial and automatic movement.

    Seeing how things are made at ETA is pretty amazing. Getting to see some of what they look at when making a watch.

    I am so happy to have the old 80s Tissot Seastar quartz pre-PRX, that was what brought the PRX to reality.
