Tissot PRX - Clean White Dial

The white dial gives this Tissot PRX a crisp and elegant appearance. It is signed “TISSOT” beneath 12 o’clock, with “PRX” printed above 6 o’clock and “SWISS MADE” at the lower edge. Applied gold-tone baton hour markers add warmth and contrast, while the outer minute track keeps the watch precise and readable. The framed date window at 3 o’clock is neatly integrated into the dial and adds practical daily function. The dial presents very cleanly, with a restrained layout that suits the compact women’s PRX case.

PRX P540 - Hands

The watch uses gold-tone hour, minute and central seconds hands, matching the applied hour markers and the gold-plated bezel. Their slim baton form gives the dial a clean, refined character without disturbing readability. The central seconds hand reinforces the quartz analog nature of the watch and gives it practical daily functionality. The hands are well proportioned for the 27 mm case, keeping the dial balanced and elegant. Their warm tone works especially well against the white dial and two-tone case architecture.

Tissot PRX 1988 - Two-Tone Stainless Steel and Gold Plated Case

The case is one of the defining features of this Tissot PRX. It combines stainless steel with a gold-plated faceted bezel, creating the two-tone aesthetic strongly associated with late 1980s Swiss watch design. The cushion-style case flows naturally into the integrated bracelet, giving the watch a unified and architectural appearance. Brushed steel surfaces contrast with the warmer polished gold-tone bezel, while the compact 27 mm diameter and 31 mm lug-to-lug measurement make the watch elegant and wearable. The case shows normal light signs of previous use, but the overall presentation is clean, refined and immediately recognizable as a PRX.

Crown

The crown is original and unsigned, positioned at 3 o’clock. Its gold-tone finish matches the bezel and dial furniture, while the fluted edge provides practical grip for setting the time and date. Because the crown is not signed, it is described accurately and conservatively, but its originality remains an important detail for the watch’s integrity. It sits discreetly within the side of the case and supports the clean integrated design without interrupting the PRX profile.

Tissot PRX Original Integrated Bracelet

The watch is fitted with its original integrated Tissot bracelet, an important feature for both design and collector value. The bracelet has brushed stainless steel links with rounded central sections, giving it the smooth, articulated look typical of this PRX generation. A small gold-tone accent link near the clasp complements the bezel and dial markers. The clasp is signed “TISSOT”, and the bracelet fits wrists up to approximately 19 cm and smaller. This original bracelet is central to the watch’s identity and completes the integrated 1980s design.

Swiss Quartz Analog ETA 956.112 Caliber

Inside this Tissot PRX is the ETA 956.112 quartz analog movement, listed in the product data as the caliber powering the watch. The movement is not visible in the supplied images, so the caliber information is taken from the product record rather than direct visual inspection. ETA quartz calibers from this period are known for practical accuracy, slim construction and dependable everyday performance. This makes the watch especially convenient while preserving the analog appearance and refined Swiss watchmaking identity. The watch has been serviced and is listed as fully operational, making it ready for careful regular wear.

Heritage of the Tissot PRX in 1980s Swiss Integrated Bracelet Design

The Tissot PRX has become one of the most recognizable integrated bracelet designs in Swiss watch history, and this 1988 women’s version captures that heritage in a compact, elegant form. Its two-tone case, white dial and original bracelet reflect the late 1980s taste for practical luxury, where stainless steel durability was combined with warmer gold-plated accents. The watch sits naturally among quartz analog vintage watches with 1988 Swiss integrated bracelet design. It is a refined choice for someone who values heritage, precision timekeeping and a distinctive vintage wristwatch that remains wearable today.
