Lightmaster Solar Technology was developed as the core technology for this challenge. The PRC 100 Solar was born as an innovative wristwatch that utilizes sunlight while retaining the precision of quartz, and is a model that can be said to be the epitome of innovation in watchmaking. Push through the limits with a ray of light Lightmaster Solar Technology is a revolutionary technology that uses the power of light to keep your watch powered. Continuous operation is possible with even a small amount of natural light or even artificial light. Traditional solar watches generate electricity using solar cells placed under the dial, but the PRC 100 Solar utilizes light passing through a sapphire crystal to create an uncompromisingly beautiful design. Light passes through the sapphire crystal and reaches the microscopic solar cells in the honeycomb structure, where it is converted into energy. This mechanism achieves a high light reception rate without compromising the beauty of the dial. The generated energy is sent via a zebra connector built into the case to the high-precision Swiss quartz movement F06.615, which powers the watch. Excess energy is stored in a rechargeable
accumulator, which provides 14 months of continuous operation even in the dark when fully charged. In addition, it is possible to store 24 hours’ worth of power after receiving light for just 10 minutes*, so it is possible to use the watch semi-permanently by just wearing it for a few minutes every day. Keep moving even in the dark Equipped with an EOE (End of Energy) indicator, a testament to Swiss
engineering. When the remaining energy is low, the second hand will move at 4-second intervals to let you know that charging is required. When exposed to light, the movement returns to normal hand movement. To ensure visibility in any environment, the hands and indexes are made of Super-LumiNova (R), which emits light even in low light. You can clearly check the time even in the dark. Housed in a stainless steel case that’s water-resistant to 10 ATM, the PRC 100 Solar is designed to be robust, adaptable, and always on. A timepiece that charges continuously, both in sunlight and in artificial light. Energy is always in your arms. With Lightmaster Solar Technology, which combines solar technology with Swiss precision, TISSOT guarantees that you can capture light and keep time in every aspect of your life. Additionally, as a sign of durability and reliability, the PRC 100 Solar comes with a three-year warranty, one year longer than standard. A piece that embodies TISSOT’s commitment to lasting performance. * If the typical daily light level is 5000 lux About TISSOT TISSOT is a Swiss watch brand that has been creating watches that combine tradition and pioneering spirit since its founding in 1853.
