PR 100 Tour De France T1504171105100 Watch

The Watch

The Tissot brand has embodied watchmaking excellence since its founding in 1853, seamlessly blending elegance and technical mastery to deliver a wide range of timepieces perfectly suited for everyday wear. Crafted with painstaking attention to detail, each watch is the work of ingenious watchmakers who continually push boundaries to offer reliable models built for all conditions - a blend of tradition and modernity that delivers a truly unique horological experience. Today, the Swiss brand presents the PR 100 Tour De France T1504171105100 Watch, born from a deep symbiosis with the Tour de France. This enduring partnership is grounded in shared values and passion, a commitment to precision and dedication, and moments full of emotion and lasting memories. Its case is crafted from brushed and polished 316L stainless steel, lending it a refined look. Round in shape, it measures 40 mm in diameter with a thickness of 11.27 mm. It features a gray knurled crown for a confident grip, flanked by two pushers in the same tone, together controlling the central functions. The dial is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal that shields it from accidental impacts. Finally, this 135 g watch is secured by an engraved snap-on case back ensuring a water resistance of 10 ATM. It comes presented in a beautiful black case signed with the brand's name.

The Dial

This dial captivates at first glance and brings a refined touch to the timepiece. It features a black background enhanced by a sandblasted finish for a distinctive grained texture. Round in shape, it displays baton-style hour markers alternating with a minute track running along the outer edge. At its center, three hands ensure accurate timekeeping: the two main hands - one long, one short - indicate the minutes and hours respectively. Both are treated with a luminescent coating, also applied to the hour markers, for improved readability in low-light conditions. A slender yellow seconds hand joins them, featuring a bicycle-shaped counterweight as a nod to this model's namesake, and tracks the seconds of the chronograph function. Three additional sub-dials are positioned at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, displaying the 1/10th of a second, small seconds, and 30-minute counters respectively. For added functionality, a date window is positioned between 4 and 5 o'clock. Lower, near 6 o'clock, the Swiss Made designation is noted, while opposite, just below the double noon index, the brand places its signature.

The Movement

This watch is powered by a Swiss-made quartz movement. Reliable and vibration-resistant, it is specifically the ETA G10.212 caliber fitted with 4 jewels and measuring 29.80 mm in diameter. This mechanism drives the hands, date window, and additional counters with precision. It also features a Renata 364 battery and an EOL system to signal when the battery is nearing the end of its life.

The Strap

This bracelet will beautifully complement your style. Crafted in stainless steel, it is built to last. It features brushed and polished links that elegantly contour your wrist. Its gray tone pairs effortlessly with any accessory of your choice. Lightweight and comfortable, it makes for an easy everyday wear. Note that it is interchangeable and features a lug width of 20 mm with a butterfly deployment clasp for easy handling.

It comes with an additional strap crafted in micro-perforated bovine leather. Black in color, it features yellow edges as a subtle echo of the seconds hand, with tone-on-tone stitching, lending it a sporty look. Comfortable to wear, it is secured by a black Tissot-signed pin buckle for easy adjustment.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 100 meters - that's 10 ATM in watchmaking terms - this boldly styled timepiece holds its own at black-tie events and in the water alike. Feel free to wear it in the shower, the bath, or the pool (even during an energetic swim session!). That said, our team of watchmaking experts wants to be clear: this model is not designed for scuba diving - whether freediving or with tanks - or for use near high-pressure washers. Remember: showers, baths, and swimming only, and never operate the pushers or crown while submerged.
