Tissot PRC 100 Solar 39mm: the energy of light
The Tissot PRC 100 Solar 39mm takes the lines of the PRC 100, introduced in the mid-2000s, and combines them with solar power. Its twelve-sided bezel creates a distinctive silhouette, while this reference features an anthracite finish throughout, from the dial to the bracelet. It therefore brings together the collection’s visual codes and Lightmaster technology, which uses both natural and artificial light.
An anthracite design with distinctive lines
The case’s anthracite PVD coating extends to the 316L stainless steel bracelet. This continuity of colour gives the watch a cohesive presence, with a faceted bezel that structures the outline of the dial. The 39mm size preserves the model’s proportions while highlighting this geometric construction.
The anthracite dial features an analogue display and a date window at 3 o’clock. The hands are fitted with Super-LumiNova® to make them easier to read as the light fades. The flat, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal completes the design without adding a domed profile above the dial.
Lightmaster: a movement powered by light
The Swiss Lightmaster solar quartz movement converts light into energy through photovoltaic technology. Recharging can take place under a natural or artificial light source: solar operation therefore does not depend solely on exposure to sunlight. This power supply is integrated into a watch that retains a classic display of the time and date.
An end-of-energy indicator warns when the accumulator’s charge becomes low. It identifies the need for recharging and indicates when the watch should accordingly be exposed to light. This indication provides a practical reference for monitoring the movement’s power supply and incorporating light charging into everyday use of the watch.
An interchangeable bracelet to adapt your style
The original bracelet matches the case’s anthracite finish and closes with a butterfly folding clasp with pushers. Its steel construction extends the watch’s lines around the wrist while retaining flexible articulation between the links. The pushers operate the clasp to open the bracelet.
The quick-change system makes it possible to replace the bracelet without tools with a compatible model. A leather strap or Milanese bracelet can thus change the watch’s appearance according to the wearer’s preferences. These customisation options concern additional bracelets; the reference presented is supplied in its anthracite steel bracelet configuration.
