When it comes to presents, the gift of a timepiece is one of the most special of all. Not only is a wristwatch a beautiful object to offer but each time your loved one raises their sleeve to see the time, they will be reminded of you. How beautiful is that?
This holiday season, Tissot has selected five new timepieces to give you tons of inspiration for your gift planning. From the elegance of the PRX models to the sportiness of the PR Gentleman Powermatic 80 and the fun of the T-Touch Connect Sport, there is something for everyone. Let’s take a closer look.
PRX Quartz 25
The PRX line was re-launched in 2021 and takes its design cues from the original 1978 model of the same name. Its mix of cool design, excellent quality, and affordable price point has made it a blockbusting success. For this holiday season, the brand is unveiling a new mini quartz model that is totally on trend for 2025. Photographed here is the PVD rose gold version adorned with a sunray dial and diamond indexes (36 Top Wessleton). It is the perfect little gem to make a loved one dazzle wherever they go. If gold isn’t your thing, there are plenty of other styles to choose from. Price: CHF 475.
PR516 Chronograph
Next up we have the PR516 Chronograph inspired by the racing chronographs from the 1970s. With its dashing blue and grey dial enhanced with Super-LumiNova, this chronograph was made for those with an active lifestyle. It is equipped with a Quartz G10.212 Powerdrive movement that is the height of precision. Housed in a 40mm stainless steel case with a matching bracelet, it also features an easy-change bracelet system with a choice of 20 different strap/bracelet options in rubber, NATO, leather, and Milanese. So, you can literally keep on adding to this gift for the unseeable future! Price: CHF 475.
PR Gentleman Powermatic 80 Silicium
The PR Gentleman Powermatic 80 Silicium is perfect for the person in your life who exudes elegance in every situation. Housed in a 40mm stainless steel case with an integrated bracelet and glacier blue dial, it is both classic and contemporary at the same time. It is powered by Tissot’s famous Powermatic 80 movement, with 80 standing for the number of hours in its power reserve, which is significantly longer than the typical 38 or 48 hours found in conventional automatic movements. Add to this an anti-reflective sapphire crystal and this timepiece will win over even the most difficult relative! Price: CHF 795.
PRX Powermatic 80
WorldTempus’s photographer just got one of these as a gift from his girlfriend and to say that he is over the moon with it would be the understatement of the century (see just one of a million photos he sent to me for this article)! With its angular lines and glacier blue waffle dial, this timepiece was created for those who have an eye for design. Like the PR Gentleman, it is powered by the Powermatic 80 movement which delivers both reliability and precision thanks to its innovative Nivachron hairspring. There are now over 56 PRXs in the Tissot catalogue, so check out the brand’s watch finder tool to find the perfect one. Price: CHF 685.
T-Touch Connect Sport
Tissot’s T-Touch is now connected more than ever with a bunch of new functions for those who want to track everything from their heartbeat to calories burned, distance travelled, and speed. Ideal for those who are looking for style and tools to improve their athletic performance, this is a gift that will not disappoint. It comes in a 43 mm titanium case that is paired with a tactile AMOLED screen. What really makes this timepiece stand out is its battery life. Powered by solar energy and a SwALPS system, this timepiece is limitless in watch mode and can last for months when using all the features. Compare this to other smartwatches that need daily charging and the T-Touch Connect Sport is at the top of its class. Price: CHF 945.
All of these timepieces are available online, so there is no excuse for not getting a jump on your holiday shopping.
