Indeed, NASCAR, Moto GP and the world championships of cycling, fencing and ice hockey all use Tissot as their official timekeeper. The PRC100 Titanium Mens’ Chronograph is no exception, excelling as both a contemporary sportsman’s watch and a classic fashion accessory.
All of its features are useful. Its chronograph stopwatch will accurately time up to thirty minutes and it is water resistant to 100 metres. It is also remarkably lightweight at 93g (and durable) due to its titanium construction and one will barely notice it adorning their wrist. The quick release button clasp also makes things easy when changing after long training sessions. For these reasons it is an excellent choice for keen sportsmen or divers who require timing capabilities.
However, just because it is useful in sports does not mean it compromises on style. It is a stunning watch with the black fascia appearing complex but not overcrowded and it remains masculine despite its lightness as it is clearly of strong construction. The two tone strap highlights the features of the fascia which includes a well-positioned date display. It is, in fact, difficult to fault the Tissot PRC 100 in its appearance.
Whilst there are certainly more elaborate sports watches and more intricate fashion watches, this Tissot model has found the perfect balance between functionality and style making it a great choice for those who want a sports watch that is stylish enough to wear out.
Founded in 1853, Tissot has been making watches for over 150 years and has built up a reputation for style and precision, particularly within the professional sports market. It prides itself in constantly pushing the boundaries of technology which has resulted in the production of watches that are unsurpassed in their accuracy and uniqueness.
