Extended Product Information

FAQs

How long does the solar charge last?

Once fully charged, the watch can typically run for several months in total darkness, depending on the specific light intake history.

Is the leather strap replaceable?

Yes, the watch uses standard lugs, allowing you to swap the original leather strap for other compatible 39mm-sized straps.

Can I wear this watch for swimming?

Yes, the 100-meter water resistance rating is suitable for recreational swimming and water sports, though avoid wearing it while scuba diving.

Does the watch require battery changes?

No, the solar quartz movement uses a rechargeable cell that powers the watch via light, eliminating the need for periodic battery replacements.

How should I clean the leather strap?

Use a dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe the strap. Do not soak the leather in water or use harsh leather detergents.

What is the purpose of the dodecagonal bezel?

The twelve-sided (dodecagonal) bezel serves as a distinctive design element that adds geometric interest and a sophisticated aesthetic to the case.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped running

Place the watch under direct natural or artificial light for at least 6 to 12 hours to replenish the solar cell power reserve.

Difficulty reading the dial in the dark

Ensure the watch has been exposed to sufficient light during the day, as the luminous material requires light absorption to emit a glow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Tissot PRC100 remains in peak condition, store it in an area where it receives occasional light exposure to prevent the power reserve from depleting completely. If the watch stops, it may simply need to be placed under a bright light source for several hours to jump-start the charging process. The leather strap should be kept dry, as excessive exposure to moisture or sweat can cause the material to degrade faster over time. For cleaning, use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe down the stainless steel case and crystal; avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
