Tissot Unveils PRX Skeleton Damian Lillard Special Edition
The Tissot PRX Skeleton Damian Lillard Special Edition blends the brand’s iconic 1970s‑inspired integrated design with a bold, hand‑wound skeleton movement. Housed in a 44 mm stainless‑steel case, the watch features a transparent caseback engraved with Lillard’s signature, sapphire crystal with anti‑reflective coating, and 100 m water resistance. Its burgundy dial showcases an open‑worked display, faceted hour markers, and a seconds hand shaped like the basketball star’s monogram, while Super‑LumiNova‑treated hands ensure legibility in low light. The movement, based on the ETA Unitas 6497, operates at 18,800 vph and offers a 43‑hour power reserve, marking the first hand‑wound PRX in the collection. The edition includes two burgundy straps—rubber with a cross‑hatched milk‑crate pattern inspired by makeshift hoops, and leather with a deployant clasp—both equipped with quick‑release pins and a pocket‑watch conversion set for versatile wear. Priced at CHF 1,735 (EUR 1,895), the watch launches alongside the Portland Trail Blazers’ season opener, celebrating Damian Lillard’s “Dame Time” persona while delivering a unique blend of sport‑inspired aesthetics and mechanical craftsmanship.
