What it is
Equipped with Lightmaster solar
technology, the Tissot PRC 100 Solar
captures both natural and artifcial light
and converts it into energy via discreet
honeycomb-shaped solar cells
embedded in the sapphire crystal
of the watch.
How it works
This energy powers the quartz
movement, and any surplus is stored in
a rechargeable accumulator, ensuring
long-lasting autonomy.
Autonomy
With regular exposure to light, the
watch will run continuously for years
without interruption.

What is End of Energy Mode (EOE)?
TISSOT PRC 100 SOLAR
EOE mode informs the wearer
when it’s time to recharge.
Should the watch receive insufcient light,
the accumulator’s energy level gradually
decreases until the watch eventually stops.
EOE Mode cti¾ation
A few hours before stopping, the second
hand will begin moving in 4-second intervals,
indicating the need to expose the watch to
light (see exposure time below).
Normal Function
During EOE Mode
During EOE mode, the
watch continues to display
the correct time and date.
Return to Normal Operation
After returning to gormal mode teep
the watch exposed to light. ihis will
prevent returning to EOE mode or
stopping after a few hours.
In most cases, wearing the watch
regularly is enough to keep it running.
Howeverg certain situations may cause
the accumulator to discharge.
The watch is unused and
stored in a dark place for an
extended period.
The amount of light received is
insufcient te.g.g during winter
months when daylight is limited
and the watch is covered by
clothing such as shirts or jackets).
Note:
This reduces power consumption
and extends the time before
recharging is needed.
To restart the watch, set the
correct time and date, then
push the crown ba c k to its
operating position.
If you wonGt use the watch for a
long time, pull out the crown to
stop the mechanism.

Light Intensity Levels Explained
TISSOT PRC 100 SOLAR
Note:
Up to 50,000 lux, the charging time is inversely proportional to the light intensity (e.g., exposure to 10,000 lux
requires about half the time compared to 5,000 lux to achieve the same charge level).

With sufcient light, the watch can
exit the EOE mode in just a few
minutes. It is recommended to keep
exposing it afterward to achieve a
higher charge level to prevent the
watch from stopping again (e.g.
overnight)
Once fully charged, the watch can
run for 14 months in darkness (20
