What if? A Tissot PRX "Offshore" (or PRX-L)

As in the title, my quick and dirty render of a concept for a Tissot PRX "Offshore" at a 42mm+ size with an internal bezel diver's variation. Let me know your thoughts! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Noooo.

Let it slowly fade and keep whatโ€˜s there already.

I have one, I like it but I donโ€™t want them to overdo it.

There will be a GMT PRX coming soon if the rumours are true. So Tissot still has many options to milk from the PRX lineup currently.

Sure, why not?

The prx is probably tissot's greatest commercial success in years.

They'd be stupid not to milk every last drop of it.

The dual crown with rubber strap wouldn't be half bad ๐Ÿ˜Š

Color match date wheel and youโ€™ve got a hit!

I actually like the bottom middle with the yellow chapter ring.

Awesome work. These are really nice solutions. Everything works quite well ๐Ÿ™Œ

Thanks!

Nah.

I actually quite like the yellow/black supercompressor

The yellow/black is a great design (ร  la IWC Aquatimer) but the minute hand should be in yellow, not the hour.

Yellow/Black is a great design choice because you can still see yellow as you get to the lower limit of open water rec diving limits (which is why dive watches with red/orange never made sense to me).

But all you need are the minutes elapsed- there really isn't ever a reason to know what hour it is. Most divers go 30-50 minutes before needing to start their accent, so when checking your time underwater, you're usually only concerned about where you are in that range.

Understanding that this is a bit of an aesthetic thing- maybe the switch was an attempt to not appear to rip off the IWC Aquatimer, but there's a functional reason behind the decision to highlight the minutes.

Bottom middle for me please

No, you're actually dead right it was my mistake ๐Ÿ˜‚ you'll have to forgive me I was on little sleep! Thanks for the correction. I was riffing off the Ploprof for that but forgot the correct hand to be coloured ๐Ÿ˜–

Hahaha these are awesome! Really cool. Iโ€™d love to see more!

ยท

It actually looks clean, but smaller case size would appeal to me

This reminds me of Citizenโ€™s trend kitchen sink GMT (which i wil fully admit that i dig, even if it seems a little kitchen-sink-y)

ยท

Looks clean, and also very nice. Reminds me of some of the IWC Ingenieur models.
