40mm PRX gains a mother‑of‑pearl dial

Tissot has added a mother‑of‑pearl option to the PRX 40mm fitted with the Powermatic 80 movement. The change is purely aesthetic: same case size, same automatic movement family, new pearlescent surface on the dial.

Where this sits in the PRX line

The PRX collection is broad. It already includes quartz and automatic models across several sizes — 40mm, 38mm, 35mm and a recent 25mm — and experiments with materials such as titanium, damascus steel and carbon. This mother‑of‑pearl dial joins that mix as another stylistic variant rather than a new technical direction.

Movement and finish

The model carries the Powermatic 80 designation, which identifies it with Tissot’s automatic movement family. Beyond the dial treatment, Tissot’s existing PRX execution — integrated bracelet, slim profile and the PRX case language — appears unchanged for this iteration.

As Monochrome Watches first reported, the announcement is an incremental expansion of the PRX palette rather than a repositioning of the line. The addition targets buyers who want the PRX platform with a dressier, pearlescent dial option.

What to watch for

This release reinforces the PRX strategy: a modular platform that covers a wide stylistic spectrum without altering core specs. If you’re comparing within the PRX family, evaluate dial treatments and materials first — the movement and case proportions will be familiar across variants.

Look at this one as the dress option among the 40mm Powermatic models. If demand follows past PRX drops, expect it to be another frequently chosen dial variant; compare it directly with the steel and titanium versions when you decide which aesthetic matters most.
