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. The Solar powered trend is certainly on the up in the watch industry, and Tissot, as per usual, have produced one of the best value watches on the market.
This PRC 100 model (T151.822.11.351.00) is the 34mm stainless steel dodecagonal bezel with a stunning ice blue dial. This model exudes confidence with the matte finish on the case and bracelet. Super-LumiNova has been added to the hands and indexes for readability in low-light situations.
Harnessing photovoltaic energy to fuel every second of the Lightmaster Solar Quartz movement is unquestionably the showpiece of this watch. Beneath its sleek scratch-resistant sapphire crystal lie photovoltaic cells in a discreet honeycomb structure, designed to recharge effortlessly from both natural and artificial light. Surplus energy is stored in a rechargeable accumulator, enabling up to 14 months of operation in complete darkness.
With an end-of-energy indicator ensuring optimal performance, a date window and timings of hours, minutes and seconds, the movements' overall upkeep is much more cost-effective than standard quartz movements, forgoing the regular need for battery changes. The watch’s 20mm strap compatibility allows wearers to personalise their style, whether through classic leather or modern Milanese options.
Complete with official Tissot packaging and a 3-year international warranty, this timepiece would make the ideal gift for a loved one with plenty of years of wear. You can also view our full Tissot collection here.
