The PRX Automatic is Tissot's answer to the integrated-bracelet sports watch category, delivering a sharply executed design at a fraction of what comparable references from Audemars Piguet or Patek command. T137.407.11.041.00 is the core 40mm steel automatic, the reference that kicked off serious demand for the line when it launched in 2021. At this price, nothing else gives you a true integrated bracelet with a credible movement pedigree.
What it is
Tissot revived the PRX name in 2021, drawing on the original 1978 quartz PRX but building a genuinely new watch around the Powermatic 80.111 automatic movement. The 40mm case with its integrated tapering bracelet was the first modern PRX automatic, followed quickly by 35mm and chronograph variants. Blue and green dial versions arrived and drove enough demand to push wait times at authorized dealers through much of 2022 and 2023.
The COSC-certified version (T137.407.11.351.00) sits one step up and uses the same base caliber regulated to chronometer standard. The line remains in active production with no announced changes to the core reference.
Buying notes
The integrated bracelet is the first thing to inspect: links and clasp wear quickly with daily use and Tissot bracelet parts are not always easy to source from third parties. Check the bracelet for stretched links, sloppy articulation, and clasp play before buying used. The bezel and case edges are brushed, and on heavily worn examples the transitions between polished and brushed surfaces become indistinct.
Verify the crown screws down fully, as the watch is rated 100m but used examples sometimes show crown damage from improper handling. If buying the blue dial specifically, confirm it is the 2021+ automatic reference and not the quartz PRX, which shares the same case profile and has caused buyer confusion in secondary listings.
Market read
New retail is around $675 USD, and authorized dealers have normalized supply after the early scarcity. The blue dial carries the largest secondary premium, trading between $700 and $850 on Chrono24 depending on condition and box/papers. Green dials track similarly.
The silver and black dials trade at or slightly below retail on the used market. The COSC version commands a modest $100 to $150 premium over equivalent condition non-COSC examples, which is consistent with the $75 retail difference and suggests buyers are not significantly overvaluing the chronometer certification.
Service expectations
The Powermatic 80.111 is a Swatch Group ETA-derived movement with an 80-hour power reserve, and Tissot recommends service every 10 years for normal use. Tissot service centers quote roughly $200 to $300 for a standard service including bracelet cleaning. The long service interval is a genuine ownership benefit, and parts availability from Swatch Group is reliable for the foreseeable future.
