Today, discover the PRX Powermatic 80 40 mm T1379079720100 watch, packed with 21st-century features. Its case measures 40.50 mm wide and 40 mm long, with a thickness of 11.20 mm. Weighing 75 g, it is crafted from 316L stainless steel and carbon, delivering enhanced durability and a refined two-tone look. Highlighted by a grey and black marbled effect, it features a flat sapphire crystal over the dial to shield against impacts, with both anti-reflective and anti-scratch treatments that preserve its aesthetics and ensure effortless legibility. At 3 o'clock, a grey crown with a knurled grip lets you adjust the watch's core functions with ease. This timepiece boasts 10 ATM water resistance, secured by its snap-on, engraved, and transparent caseback - which also offers a stunning view of the movement's inner workings.

The Dial

Sporting a carbon black tone, this dial brings a captivating character to the watch. Enriched with refined detailing, it delivers reliable daily readability. The bezel reveals a minute railroad track and alternating baton hour markers. At the center, three grey hands glide over the time markers with precision. The slender seconds hand tracks the passing seconds, while the hour and minute hands display the time at a glance. Both main hands are coated with Super-LumiNova treatment - as are the hour indices - ensuring excellent legibility in low-light conditions. A date window sits at 3 o'clock, the Swiss Made label and collection name appear at 6 o'clock, and the brand name is placed just below the double index at 12 o'clock as a signature.

The Movement

At the heart of this watch beats a Swiss automatic movement - specifically the in-house Powermatic 80 caliber based on the ETA C07.111, which drives the hands and date with impressive precision. It measures 25.60 mm in diameter, oscillates at a frequency of 21,600 vph (3 Hz), and features 23 jewels to minimize friction. Built to resist vibrations, it is fitted with a Nivachron™ balance spring and is resistant to magnetic fields. This movement delivers a power reserve of approximately 80 hours.

The Strap

This black strap pairs effortlessly with any outfit. Crafted from rubber - a material prized for its durability and flexibility - it features textured patterns that add character while keeping your wrist comfortable in any condition. Ideal for physical activity, it offers a secure and comfortable fit throughout the day. A pin buckle lets you adjust the fit exactly as you like. The strap measures 197 mm in total length - 122 mm for the long end and 75 mm for the short end.

Water Resistance

With 100-meter water resistance - or 10 ATM in watchmaking terms - this boldly styled timepiece is just as at home at a black-tie gala as it is in the water. Feel free to wear it in the shower, the bath, or the pool (yes, even for your most intense swim sessions!). That said, our team of watch experts wants to be clear: this model is not designed for scuba diving, freediving, or high-pressure water jets of any kind. Keep it simple - shower, bath, and swimming only, and never operate the pushers or crown while submerged.
