Tissot PRX Skeleton Damian Lillard Review: Size, Movement, Pocket Watch Kit & Price | Lexor Miami

Tissot and Damian Lillard have done it again. On October 21, 2026, timed with the start of the NBA season, Tissot released the PRX Skeleton Damian Lillard Special Edition T137.405.17.371.00, the second PRX created with the Portland Trail Blazers star. And this one is very different from the first. Instead of a gold-toned automatic, it is a 44 mm stainless steel PRX with a fully skeletonized burgundy dial, a hand-wound movement, two straps and something no PRX has offered before: a kit that turns the watch into a pocket watch.

Because it is so new, most buyers still have plenty of questions. Is 44 mm too big? How does the hand-wound movement work, and how often do you need to wind it? What is in the box? How does it compare with the first Lillard PRX and the standard PRX Skeleton? Is it a limited edition? And is it worth $2,075? This guide answers them with official Tissot specifications and early reviews. Lexor Miami is an authorized Tissot dealer with the PRX Skeleton Damian Lillard available to order now.

Tissot and Damian Lillard: How the Partnership Began

Damian Lillard, one of the most recognizable guards in the NBA, is known for clutch shots so consistent that fans gave them a name: "Dame Time." When the game is on the line late in the fourth quarter, Lillard tends to take over, and he often taps his wrist after a big shot to signal that it is his time.

That gesture made a watch partnership feel natural. Tissot, the official timekeeper of the NBA, released the first PRX Damian Lillard Special Edition in 2024. It was a 40 mm PRX Powermatic 80 with a gold-tone PVD case and bracelet and a black dial, packed with personal details: a "Dame Time" flange, an "O" in place of zero as a nod to Oakland, Ogden and Oregon, and Lillard's monogram on the seconds hand counterweight.

The 2026 PRX Skeleton is the second chapter, and it takes a very different direction. Where the first watch was gold, compact and automatic, the new one is steel, bigger, open-worked and hand-wound, with a burgundy palette and a playful twist in the form of a pocket watch kit.

The PRX Story: From 1978 to 2026

Tissot was founded in 1853 in Le Locle, in the Swiss Jura, and has spent more than 170 years making watches that combine Swiss craftsmanship with accessible prices. In 1978, the brand introduced the original PRX, a sporty steel watch with an integrated bracelet, a design style that defined the late 1970s.

The name stands for Precise, Robust and X, the Roman numeral for 10, referring to its 10 bar water resistance. That original combination of precision, toughness and water resistance still defines the collection today.

In 2021, Tissot relaunched the PRX with a modern take on the 1978 design, first as a quartz model and then with the Powermatic 80 automatic movement and its 80-hour power reserve. It became one of the most talked-about watches of the decade, praised for offering the integrated-bracelet look of much more expensive watches at an accessible price. Since then, the PRX family has grown to include chronographs, smaller sizes, titanium, Damascus steel and now, with the Damian Lillard Skeleton, a hand-wound skeleton with a pocket watch kit.

Tissot and the NBA

Tissot became the Official Timekeeper and Official Watch of the NBA in 2015, one of the most visible partnerships between a watch brand and a professional sports league. Tissot's name appears on game clocks in arenas across the United States, and the brand has created a range of NBA-themed watches and special editions over the years.

Its partnerships with individual players add a more personal layer. Damian Lillard is a natural fit: his "Dame Time" nickname is literally about time, and his wrist-tap celebration has become one of the most recognizable gestures in the league. The Lillard watches turn that story into something fans can wear, with personal details that only true fans will recognize.

What Is a Skeleton Watch?

A skeleton watch is a mechanical watch in which the dial and much of the movement have been cut away, or "skeletonized," so you can see the mechanism at work. Watchmakers remove as much material as possible from the plates and bridges while keeping the movement strong and functional. The result looks like the watch's skeleton, hence the name.

Skeletonization is a centuries-old art. It was originally done entirely by hand, with artisans sawing and engraving each component, and high-end skeleton watches are still among the most prized pieces in watchmaking. Modern production methods have made the look more accessible, but good skeletonization still requires careful design: the watch has to be legible, the finishing needs to look good from every angle, and the movement must remain reliable.

Why do people love skeleton watches? Because they make the invisible visible. Instead of hiding the gears, balance wheel and mainspring behind a dial, a skeleton watch puts the craftsmanship front and center. With a hand-wound movement like the one in the PRX Skeleton Damian Lillard, you can even watch the mainspring barrel turn as you wind it.

The Skeletonized Dial: Watching the Movement Work

A skeleton watch removes as much material as possible from the dial and movement so you can see the mechanics inside. On the PRX Skeleton Damian Lillard, that means the gears, bridges and balance are all on display through the sapphire crystal, framed by the PRX's integrated case.

Key dial details include:

Burgundy accents throughout the dial and straps, giving the watch a warm, distinctive color story that stands out from typical silver and black skeletons.
Faceted hour markers that catch the light around the open movement.
Super-LumiNova on the hands, so you can read the time in low light, which is useful on skeleton watches since the busy background can make the hands harder to pick out.
Small seconds with a "Dame Time" ring around it and a seconds hand shaped like Lillard's monogram.

Reviewers have been impressed by the finishing. One early review described the skeleton dial as "impressively executed" and noted that the finishing is "notably varied and thoughtfully executed for a skeleton design at this price point," while acknowledging it is not at the level of high-end haute horlogerie. For a watch around $2,000, that is a strong endorsement.

The First Hand-Wound PRX: How It Works

The PRX Skeleton Damian Lillard uses a Swiss mechanical hand-wound movement. Tissot does not publicly name the caliber, though Monochrome Watches reports that it is based on the ETA Unitas 6497 family, a famous large-format movement originally designed for pocket watches. That heritage fits perfectly with the watch's pocket watch conversion kit.

What "hand-wound" means for you

Most PRX models are automatic, which means a rotor winds the watch as you move your wrist. A hand-wound watch has no rotor, so it does not wind itself. Instead, you wind it by turning the crown.

How often: the official power reserve is up to 52 hours. Winding it every morning, as part of your routine, keeps it running reliably.
How to wind: with the crown in its pushed-in position, turn it clockwise until you feel resistance. Do not force it once it stops.
If it stops: simply wind it, then set the time. There is no date to reset, which keeps things simple.

Many collectors actually prefer hand-wound watches. Winding becomes a small daily ritual that connects you with the mechanism, and without a rotor, the back of the watch is completely open, giving you an unobstructed view of the movement.

A note on power reserve figures

You may see different power reserve numbers online. Some early articles quoted 46 or 43 hours. Tissot's official product page lists up to 52 hours, which is the figure we use. Either way, daily winding is the best habit for any hand-wound watch.

The Pocket Watch Conversion Kit

This is the feature that makes the PRX Skeleton Damian Lillard unlike any other PRX. In the box, you get a shaped burgundy leather case with an attached chain. Remove the strap using the quick-release system, place the watch in the leather case, and it becomes a pocket watch, with only the dial and bezel visible.

Why include a pocket watch kit?

Movement heritage: the large-format hand-wound movement family it is reported to be based on was originally created for pocket watches, so the kit brings it full circle.
Versatility: wear it on your wrist for daily life, then carry it in your jacket or vest pocket for a wedding, a gala or a special night out.
Collectability: the kit makes the set feel like a complete collector's piece, especially presented in the black collector's box.

It is a playful idea, and it gives you three ways to wear one watch: on the rubber strap, on the leather strap and as a pocket watch.

Pocket watches were the standard way to carry time until wristwatches took over in the early twentieth century. Bringing that tradition back in a modern PRX connects the newest Tissot design with the brand's long history, since Tissot made pocket watches for decades before the wristwatch era. It also makes the set a natural choice for groomsmen gifts, anniversaries and other occasions where a touch of tradition feels right.

Two Straps: Rubber and Leather

Burgundy rubber strap

Made of nitrile rubber with a crosshatched texture inspired by milk crates, a nod to the street basketball courts where many players first learned the game, often shooting at hoops made from milk crates.
Fitted with a pin buckle.
The best choice for warm weather, the gym, the beach and everyday wear in Miami's humidity.

Burgundy leather strap

A tapered burgundy leather strap with a folding clasp.
Dressier and more refined, ideal for the office, dinners and events.

Both straps use Tissot's tool-free quick-release system, so switching takes seconds.

Size and Fit: Is 44 mm Too Big?

The new watch uses what is described as the largest PRX case to date, at 44 mm. It is the most common concern among buyers, and early reader comments on reviews have pointed to the size as the watch's main talking point.

Why 44 mm wears better than you might expect

Thin profile: at 11.2 mm thick, it is slimmer than many 44 mm sports watches, so it sits closer to the wrist.
Tapered case: the PRX case narrows toward the strap, softening its visual size.
Straps instead of a bracelet: rubber and leather straps are lighter and more flexible than a steel bracelet, which helps comfort on a large case.
Skeleton dial: the open dial makes the watch look lighter than a solid dial of the same size.

Who it fits best

Wrists of about 7 inches (178 mm) and up: the 44 mm case will look balanced and confident.
Wrists of 6.5 to 7 inches: it will look bold. Many people choose a skeleton watch precisely because it makes a statement, but try to compare with a watch you own first.
Smaller wrists: consider the PRX in 35, 38 or 40 mm instead, or simply use the pocket watch kit, which removes size from the equation entirely.

How to check the size before you buy

Look at a watch you already own and like, and measure its case from side to side. If it is 42 mm or larger and feels comfortable, the 44 mm PRX Skeleton will feel familiar. If your favorite watch is 38 to 40 mm, expect a noticeably bolder look. You can also cut out a 44 mm circle of paper and hold it against your wrist to get a quick feel for the proportions. And if you are in South Florida, the easiest option is to come try PRX models in person at our Miami showroom.

Water Resistance

The PRX Skeleton Damian Lillard is water resistant to 100 meters (10 bar). That covers rain, splashes and swimming. Practical tips:

Wear the rubber strap for any water activity. Keep the leather strap and pocket watch case dry.
Make sure the crown is pushed in, and do not wind or adjust it underwater.
Rinse with fresh water after the beach or pool.
Skeleton watches have a lot to admire inside, so avoid hot showers and saunas, where temperature changes can cause condensation.

PRX Skeleton Lillard vs Other PRX Models

Model	Size	Movement	Key details
PRX Skeleton Damian Lillard (2026)	44 mm	Hand-wound, skeletonized, up to 52 h	Burgundy, Dame Time details, two straps, pocket watch kit
PRX Damian Lillard Special Edition (2024)	40 mm	Powermatic 80 automatic, 80 h	Gold PVD case and bracelet, black dial, "O" detail, Lillard monogram
PRX Powermatic 80	35, 40 mm	Automatic, 80 h	Classic integrated bracelet, many dial colors
PRX Titanium 38 mm	38 mm	Powermatic 80 automatic	Lightweight titanium case and bracelet

Skeleton Lillard vs the first Lillard PRX

The 2024 edition is a compact, everyday automatic with an 80-hour power reserve and a gold-tone look. The 2026 Skeleton is a bigger, more technical and more collectible piece: a hand-wound skeleton with burgundy accents, two straps and a pocket watch kit. If you want a daily-wear fan watch, the 2024 model is simpler. If you want a statement piece that shows off the movement and comes as a full collector's set, the Skeleton is the one.

Skeleton Lillard vs a standard PRX Powermatic 80

The standard PRX Powermatic 80 is the better pick if you want an automatic watch with a long power reserve and an integrated bracelet at a lower price. The Skeleton Lillard costs more because of its skeleton dial, hand-wound movement, collaboration details and the extra straps and pocket watch kit. You can read more about the classic PRX in our guide to the Tissot PRX Powermatic 80.

Is the PRX Skeleton Damian Lillard a Limited Edition?

Tissot presents the watch as a special edition. At launch, neither Tissot nor the major reviews stated a numbered production run. The first Lillard PRX was also a special edition rather than a numbered limited edition.

That said, collaboration models tend to be produced in smaller quantities than regular catalog watches and are not restocked indefinitely. Popular special editions can sell out quickly, especially early in the season when fan interest is highest. If you want one, buying from an authorized dealer while it is available is the safest approach.

Is the Tissot PRX Skeleton Damian Lillard Worth $2,075?

What you get

A Swiss skeletonized hand-wound movement with well-executed finishing for the price.
A full collector's set: two straps, a pocket watch case and a black collector's box.
Sapphire front and back, 100 m water resistance and Super-LumiNova.
Meaningful collaboration details such as "Dame Time," the monogram seconds hand and a signed case back.
The PRX design, one of the most popular watch designs of the last decade.

What to be realistic about

Size: 44 mm will not suit everyone.
Manual winding: you need to wind it regularly. If you want a watch you can forget about, choose a Powermatic 80 automatic.
No date: the dial is about the movement, so there is no date display.
Price versus a standard PRX: you pay a premium for the skeleton movement, the collaboration and the accessories.

Our verdict

For basketball fans, Lillard fans and anyone who wants an accessible Swiss skeleton watch with real character, the PRX Skeleton Damian Lillard is worth it. It is one of the most complete packages in the PRX lineup, and the pocket watch kit makes it genuinely unique. If you have a larger wrist and enjoy winding a watch, it is easy to recommend.

Who Should Buy It?

Basketball and NBA fans who want a watch connected to the game and to one of its most clutch players.
Collectors of collaborations who value special editions with a story and full collector packaging.
Skeleton watch lovers looking for a Swiss open-worked watch at an accessible price.
Buyers with larger wrists who have found most PRX models too small.
Gift buyers looking for a memorable present for a basketball fan, a graduate or a groom. The pocket watch kit makes it a great wedding-day piece.

How to Style the PRX Skeleton Damian Lillard

Game night: on the burgundy rubber strap with a hoodie or team jacket, sneakers and jeans.
Office: on the burgundy leather strap with a navy or charcoal suit. Burgundy and navy are a classic pairing.
Weddings and formal events: as a pocket watch, with the chain fastened to a vest or jacket button.
Miami weekends: on rubber with a linen shirt and shorts. The open dial looks great in natural light.

How to Care for Your Skeleton Watch

Wind it daily at roughly the same time, and stop when you feel resistance.
Clean the case and crystal with a soft microfiber cloth. Skeleton dials show fingerprints and dust on the crystal more easily.
Rinse the rubber strap with fresh water and mild soap. Keep the leather strap and pocket watch case dry.
Avoid magnets, such as speakers and magnetic phone cases, which can affect accuracy.
Avoid shocks. Remove it for activities like tennis or golf, where impacts are frequent.
Service it at an authorized Tissot service center according to the brand's recommendations.
Keep the collector's box and papers. They matter for warranty and for the watch's collectible value.
