Tissot's WOOKDONG PRX adds a character I don't want

I like the PRX, and the little character on this one makes me like it less. The Lee Dong Wook special edition starts with a clean white dial and then adds pink luminous details and the WOOKDONG figure to the seconds hand and caseback. I would rather have the ordinary watch, which is a fairly predictable reaction from me when a character collaboration gets involved.

Reference T137.210.11.011.00 uses the 35 mm steel quartz PRX. The white dial and integrated bracelet are an easy combination to understand, and I don't think every special edition needs an entirely new case. My problem is that the specific additions are exactly the parts I would want removed. Being a fan of the underlying watch doesn't mean I want the licensed or celebrity treatment attached to it.

The basic PRX specification is sensible

Tissot's exact product page lists a 35 mm width, 34.6 mm case length and 9.6 mm thickness. The published case-length field isn't necessarily a full bracelet-inclusive wrist span, so I wouldn't use it as one. There is a sapphire crystal, 100 meters of water resistance. The steel is specified as 316L.

The movement is Swiss quartz with three hands, a date and a battery end-of-life indicator. I don't need an automatic movement for a small casual watch to make sense, and the quartz version keeps the case reasonably slim. I haven't handled this edition, checked its bracelet articulation or tested how clearly the character-shaped seconds hand reads against the dial.

It comes with the steel bracelet and a white rubber strap with pink details. That gives the owner two distinct ways to wear it, and the white strap makes the pink accents more obvious in the official package. I would keep it on steel if I had to choose. The bright strap pushes it further toward a coordinated character accessory, which is already the direction I don't enjoy.

Regional pricing stays regional

The India product page and the Japanese issuer announcement confirm the exact reference, but I haven't established a US price or US availability as of November 7, 2026. Japan quotes ¥77,000 including tax, with early sales November 14 and general release November 27. Those dates describe the Japanese release, not worldwide stock. November 5 coverage supports a current introduction, while the original global maker day remains unresolved.

I'm giving it 38 out of 120 bezel clicks. The small quartz PRX is a solid starting point for my taste, and the white dial could have worked well. The WOOKDONG treatment gives me a reason to choose a different PRX rather than a reason to buy this one.
