Known to basketball fans as “Dame Time,” Damian Lillard's approach is rooted in a simple conviction: decisive moments are earned through preparation long before they unfold. That mindset takes shape in a dedicated creation developed with Tissot.
Bringing together Swiss mechanical watchmaking and Damian Lillard's personal vision, the watch reflects the ambition, perseverance and discipline that have defined his path, translating them into a distinctive interpretation of the PRX.
A Signature Interpretation
The PRX Skeleton Damian Lillard Special Edition builds on the distinctive silhouette that has made the PRX instantly recognisable. Retaining the collection's integrated design, it incorporates a series of elements inspired by Damian Lillard's journey and approach to the game.
The 44 mm stainless - steel case is distinguished by deep lateral engravings, while the transparent case back is adorned with Damian Lillard's signature. A second hand inspired by his monogram introduces a unique detail to one of the watch's most dynamic elements.
At the centre of the watch, a manual - winding skeleton movement reveals the architecture beneath the dial. Rooted in the traditions of mechanical watchmaking, it invites the wearer to engage directly with the movement through the ritual of winding.
Complementing this open - worked display, a deep burgundy tone runs throughout the watch, from the dial to both straps. The rich colour brings cohesion to the design while reinforcing the distinctive character of the edition.
The rubber strap features a milk - crate pattern inspired by the makeshift basketball hoops of his childhood, recalling where his passion for the game first took shape.
An additional burgundy leather strap offers a different expression. Crafted from a natural material, it develops a unique patina over time.
The experience extends even further through a dedicated conversion system that transforms the timepiece into a pocket watch, offering yet another way to wear and appreciate the PRX Skeleton Damian Lillard Special Edition.
Dame Time is our Time
Since becoming a Tissot Ambassador in 2021, Damian Lillard has developed a strong relationship with the brand, built on a mutual trust and shared values of commitment, discipline and perseverance.
Playing an active role throughout the creative process, he helped shape many of the watch's defining design elements, working closely with the Tissot teams to bring his ideas to life.
The result is a creation that reflects Damian Lillard's story, influences and mindset in every detail, expressing a shared vision through a distinctly personal edition.
“One thing that really resonated with me while working with Tissot was seeing how every part has a purpose. A watch comes together through countless components, details and people, all contributing to the final piece. When I think about my own path, I see a lot of similarities. Every experience, every challenge and every person who believed in me played a role in getting me where I am today. That's why this watch feels so personal. It brings together a lot of what has defined my journey and I'm proud of the result and the story it tells.”

A Homecoming in Time
On October 4, Tissot took part in the Portland Trail Blazers' annual Fan Fest, celebrating Damian Lillard's return to Portland after months away from the court due to injury and building anticipation for the launch of the PRX Skeleton Damian Lillard Special Edition.
Inspired by the theme "Dame Time Is Our Time," the experience invited fans to explore the Wall of Dame, a timeline retracing key moments of Damian's journey, alongside a dedicated photo experience and a Dear Dame letterbox.
The PRX Damian Lillard Special Edition officially launches on October 21, coinciding with Portland's season opener against the Phoenix Suns. Marking Damian's return to competition, the watch stands as a tangible symbol of a new chapter in his journey.
