Tissot has unveiled its latest PRC 100 Solar watch, a timepiece that seamlessly merges sustainable energy with timeless design. Inspired by the raw beauty of Australia’s Red Centre, the watch harnesses solar power—both natural and artificial—to deliver precision and longevity.
The launch event took place against the backdrop of sweeping desert landscapes, reinforcing the connection between the watch’s solar technology and the natural world. With its minimalist yet sophisticated dial, brushed finish, and balanced weight, the PRC 100 Solar is designed to be both an everyday companion and an elegant statement piece.
A Masterclass in Versatility and Craftsmanship
The watch strikes a delicate balance between tradition and innovation. It retains signature elements like the dodecagonal bezel while integrating cutting-edge Lightmaster Quartz Solar movement. This hybrid approach ensures the watch remains precise and sustainable, drawing energy from any light source.
Available in 39mm and 34mm sizes, the PRC 100 Solar offers multiple material and color combinations. Each model features a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, SuperLumiNova markers for visibility in low light, and a durable stainless steel construction—making it as rugged as it is refined.
How Solar-Powered Timekeeping Works
At the heart of the PRC 100 Solar is an advanced energy-capturing system. Light passes through the sapphire crystal and is absorbed by integrated solar panels, which convert it into electrical energy stored in a rechargeable accumulator. This powers the quartz movement with remarkable efficiency, even in artificial lighting conditions.
Backed by a three-year warranty, the watch is built for longevity, ensuring reliable performance whether worn on a desert expedition or in urban settings. Tissot’s latest release proves that sustainability and luxury can coexist—without compromise.
