Simply seeing watches from the Tissot PR50 series evokes words like traditional, serious, understated and beautiful. One of the nicest things about the watches of the Tissot PR50 series is the fact that there is enough variety of color, size and function to suit almost anyone.

These Tissot men's watches and Tissot ladies' watches include quartz watches that keep impeccable time and also automatic watches, for those who appreciate traditional Swiss watch technology.

Tissot automatic watches are all powered by a very high quality ETA mechanical movement that will give you nearly as much accuracy as a quartz watch and a lifetime of reliable service. Many watch shoppers are simply unaware they can buy a very good automatic Swiss watch for under $260!

Take for example model T34148331. This Tissot PR50 watch uses the natural movement of your wrist to keep itself wound day after day. Its classic design conveys confidence and low key good taste.

If automatic watches aren't quite your style or if you need a watch that is going to keep time with unmistakable exactness, perhaps a watch which uses Swiss quartz movement is more your style. Tissot model T34548113 provides an accurate quartz movement that allows your watch to stay on time all the time. This Tissot PR50 includes a three-hand quartz movement with date display as well as scratch resistant sapphire crystal.

As if that weren't enough, this Tissot PR50 watch also includes a gold-tone steel bracelet, is water-resistant up to 50 meters and has a 42-month battery life ??÷ that's three-and-a-half worry-free years!

There are also a number of Tissot chronographs included in the Tissot PR50 collection. Model T34148832, is one Tissot PR50 chronograph that is not only fashionable, but also extremely functional. These watches allow the user to not only keep time, but also keep track of timed events. Like every Tissot PR50 watch, this timepiece also comes with a two-year warranty.

All PR50 watches include a crown which features three positions. When not pulled out, it is in winding positions. When it is unscrewed and half pulled out, it is in date-setting position. When it is unscrewed and completely pulled out it is in time setting position. The elegance of these watches is only matched by their ease to use.
