Tissot introduces the PRC 100 Solar — a timepiece that combines classic design with cutting-edge solar technology.
With a bold silhouette, modern features, and a sustainable power source, it’s built for those who value precision, durability, and simplicity.
Originally introduced in the mid-2000s, the Tissot PRC 100 quickly gained recognition for its bold yet refined look. The standout feature was its distinctive dodecagonal bezel, giving the watch a unique and instantly recognisable shape. It struck the perfect balance between sportiness and everyday elegance, earning a solid place in Tissot’s collection.
Now, the PRC 100 returns with a fresh update — the addition of solar-powered functionality through Tissot’s new Lightmaster Solar Quartz movement. While the design stays true to the PRC values — Precise, Robust, and Classic — the technology behind it has been reimagined for today’s world. It’s a natural evolution that brings together trusted Swiss craftsmanship and sustainable innovation.
At the heart of the PRC 100 Solar is Lightmaster Solar technology. This advanced movement captures both natural and artificial light through the sapphire crystal. Hidden photovoltaic cells convert light into energy, which is stored in a rechargeable accumulator. The result? A watch that doesn’t need battery changes and can run for up to 14 months in the dark on a full charge.
Just 10 minutes of daylight is enough to power the watch for 24 hours, and even indoor lighting is enough to keep it running. It also features an End of Energy (EOE) indicator — when power runs low, the second hand moves in 4-second intervals as a reminder to recharge.
The PRC 100 Solar comes in a 39mm stainless steel case and is water-resistant to 100 metres (10 bar), making it suitable for daily wear. Super-LumiNova® coating on the hands and indexes ensures visibility in low light. With a range of styles that balance simplicity, legibility, and versatility — from steel bracelets to leather straps — each model is built for comfort, performance, and everyday reliability. And thanks to its solar-powered movement, you’ll never need to worry about battery changes.
Tissot backs the PRC 100 Solar with a three-year warranty — one year more than the standard. This extended coverage reflects the brand’s confidence in its long-lasting design and performance.
The Tissot PRC 100 Solar is a smart choice for anyone who wants a reliable, well-designed watch powered by light.
It offers the practicality of solar charging, the precision of Swiss quartz movement, and the flexibility of multiple styles — all in one straightforward package. No frills, just great performance.
