Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 Damian Lillard Special Edition

Tissot has once again made significant noise on the industry with the introduction of the PRX Powermatic 80 Damian Lillard Special Edition, marking their first official collaboration. This model elevates the PRX Powermatic 80, a watch already popular for its embodiment of '70s vibes and its blend of high-quality craftsmanship at an accessible price. The collaboration with Damian Lillard, an eight-time NBA All-Star and musician, highlights Tissot's commitment to inclusivity and quality, promising a watch that not only appeals to watch enthusiasts but also to a broader audience.

Aesthetics

The design inspiration for the Tissot PRX NBA x Damian Lillard comes from a blend of sports and music, influenced heavily by Lillard's personal style and values. The watch features a new dial pattern with elongated zeros, a nod to Lillard's jersey number, and includes subtle engravings that are meaningful to him, such as his and his children's initials and his nickname "DAME TIME." The case is made of stainless steel with a yellow gold PVD coating, measuring 40mm in diameter, and comes with an integrated bracelet also in stainless steel with a yellow gold PVD coating. This design choice reflects a glitzy yet understated aesthetic, appealing to those who appreciate a watch that stands out.

Movement

At the heart of this special edition lies the Powermatic 80 movement, renowned for its 80-hour power reserve, antimagnetic Nivachron hairspring, and the ability to hand wind. Operating at a frequency of 21,600vph and equipped with 23 jewels, this movement is a testament to Tissot's dedication to providing high-quality, durable watches. The Powermatic 80's capabilities ensure that the watch is not only a stylish accessory but also a reliable tool for timekeeping.
