About Tissot
For more than 150 years, Tissot has embodied the innovation and tradition of Swiss watch-making. Based in the Neuchâtel area of the Jura Mountains, in Le Locle, Switzerland, Charles-Félicien Tissot and his son Charles-Emile created the watch making company Tissot in 1853. Whether in the technology of its movements, in the research for special materials or in the very functions of the watch itself, Tissot's engineers and watchmakers have developed pioneering timepieces over the years.

Some of Tissot's triumphs over the years include the the Idea 2001 (the world's first plastic watch) released in 1971, the Rock watch (which set the timepiece's movement in a stone case made from Swiss Alps granite) in 1985, and the Wood watch from 1988 (with a completely wooden case). Tissot uses the best movements (from ETA SA Manufacture Horlogère Suisse), the highest quality materials (316L steel, 18K gold, titanium) and scratch-proof glasses (sapphire crystal--at least 2500 Vickers).

The company has been involved with high profile sports events since 1974 when they sponsored a racing car in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, France. Since then Tissot's timepieces have been chosen as official timekeepers for world championships in cycling, motorcycling, fencing and ice hockey. And Tissot is currently the the official watch and timekeeper of NASCAR.

Tissot timepieces have been worn by a bevy of celebrities over the years--including Grace Kelly, Elvis Presley and Nelson Mandela--and James Stewart's character L.B. Jefferies wore a Tissot timepiece in Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window." Today the company is represented in a variety of sporting fields by English soccer star Michael Owen, IndyCar driver Danica Patrick, and MotoGP world champion Nicky Hayden. Today, Tissot is a member of the Swatch Group, the world's largest watch producer and distributor.

Customer Reviews

Versatile and reliable
I was looking for a watch that could serve me well in both business and casual occasions, from a watchmaker that offered reliability and affordability. After talking to friends --owners of Tissot and other brand watches-- and weighing the pros and cons I settled for the PR50.
One thing you'll find is that watches of this caliber and above scarcely ever are the target of complaints. I heard only good things about them, and had to make my decision based on how much I was willing to spend and on how versatile the watch was. To me, a leather wristband watch would be too formal, whereas a rubber one would be too sporty. With the PR50 I believe to have attained the best of both worlds.

Be Careful of Color
Just a friendly FYI, I thought this watch had a Blue face. From the listing description as well as the pictures from the site it definitely looked like a very nice deep blue.

But when received I was really surprised to find a very shiny purple instead. Blue would've been nice understated color, but purple definitely stands out. So depending on what you want.

Otherwise the watch was very nice watch and definitely a great price for something from Tissot. But the color of the face was the deal breaker for me.

Satisfied
We were very satisfied with both the product and seller. It was a gift to our son and he is very pleased.
