Description
The Tissot V8 Quartz Chronograph (T1064171103100) captures the adrenaline-fueled spirit of motorsport in a precision-engineered timepiece. Drawing inspiration from the power and performance of automotive racing, this 42.5mm chronograph delivers Swiss quartz accuracy in a bold, contemporary design. The striking silver dial, framed by a blue aluminium bezel ring with tachymeter scale, houses three chronograph subdials that provide stopwatch functionality up to 1/10th of a second—essential for timing laps or measuring performance intervals with exacting precision.
Crafted from 316L stainless steel, the case and integrated bracelet offer exceptional durability and a substantial wrist presence befitting a sports chronograph. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial, whilst 100-metre water resistance ensures this watch transitions seamlessly from the showroom floor to weekend adventures. The tachymeter bezel—a defining feature of racing chronographs—allows you to calculate average speed over a known distance, adding genuine functionality to the watch's sporting aesthetic.
At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised Tissot retailer, offering the full two-year international manufacturer's warranty with every timepiece. The Swiss quartz movement delivers maintenance-free precision, requiring only periodic battery replacement, which our watch servicing and repairs team can handle with expert care. The butterfly clasp with push-button deployment ensures secure, comfortable wear throughout your day.
This V8 chronograph represents outstanding value within the Tissot sports watch collection, combining Swiss movement technology with motorsport-inspired design at an accessible price point. Whether you're timing track days or simply appreciate the heritage of racing chronographs, this timepiece delivers both form and function.

FAQ
Q: What is the water resistance of the Tissot V8 Chronograph?
A: The Tissot V8 (T1064171103100) is water resistant to 100 metres (10 ATM). This makes it suitable for swimming and snorkelling, but not for diving or high-impact water sports. You should avoid operating the chronograph pushers or crown whilst underwater, as this may compromise the water resistance.
Q: How accurate is the Swiss quartz movement in this watch?
A: Swiss quartz movements are exceptionally accurate, typically gaining or losing only 10-15 seconds per year. This makes the V8 chronograph far more precise than mechanical watches, requiring no regular adjustment and providing reliable timekeeping for years between battery changes.
Q: How do I use the tachymeter bezel on this chronograph?
A: The tachymeter scale allows you to measure average speed over a known distance. Start the chronograph as you pass the starting point, then stop it after travelling exactly one kilometre. The chronograph seconds hand will point to your average speed in kilometres per hour on the tachymeter scale—a classic complication borrowed from motorsport timing.
Q: What is the power source for this watch and how long does it last?
A: The Tissot V8 is powered by a replaceable battery (standard quartz cell). Under normal use, the battery typically lasts 2-3 years. When replacement is needed, our servicing team at Cassims & Co. can replace the battery whilst checking the water resistance seals to maintain the watch's integrity.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet can be professionally sized by removing or adding links. Our team at the Johannesburg showrooms provides complimentary bracelet sizing with your purchase, ensuring a perfect fit before you leave the store.
Q: Is this watch suitable for formal occasions or primarily for sports wear?
A: Whilst the V8 chronograph is inspired by motorsport, its refined silver dial and polished stainless steel construction make it versatile enough for both casual and smart-casual occasions. The 42.5mm case size and integrated bracelet design give it a contemporary sports-luxury aesthetic that works well beyond the track.
Q: Does this watch come with the official Tissot warranty?
A: Yes, as authorised Tissot retailers, Cassims & Co. provides the full 2-year international Tissot manufacturer's warranty with this timepiece. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, and is activated from your date of purchase with us.
Warranty
- Warranty Coverage: This Tissot V8 Chronograph carries a 2-year international manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase, valid worldwide when purchased from an authorised Tissot retailer such as Cassims & Co.
- What Is Covered: The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship affecting the movement, case, dial, hands and original bracelet or strap supplied with the watch.
- What Is Not Covered: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, scratches or cosmetic damage to the case, crystal or bracelet, battery replacement, water damage resulting from improper use or failure to observe water resistance limitations, damage from impacts or accidents, unauthorised modifications or repairs, or damage from magnetic fields or extreme temperatures.
- Water Resistance: Water resistance is not a permanent condition. Seals and gaskets deteriorate over time and with use. We recommend having water resistance tested during battery replacement and at regular service intervals.
- Warranty Activation: Your warranty is activated from the date on your purchase receipt from Cassims & Co. Please retain your proof of purchase, as it will be required for any warranty claims.
- Authorised Service: Warranty service must be performed by authorised Tissot service centres. Repairs performed by unauthorised third parties will void the manufacturer's warranty.
- After-Sales Support: Beyond the manufacturer's warranty period, Cassims & Co. continues to support all timepieces purchased from us with battery replacements, bracelet adjustments and access to authorised Tissot servicing networks.
Care guide
- Daily Wear: Whilst the sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant, avoid impact against hard surfaces such as granite, concrete or metal edges which may damage the case or bracelet.
- Water Exposure: Rinse with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorinated pools. Never operate the chronograph pushers or pull out the crown whilst the watch is wet or submerged, as this may allow water ingress.
- Cleaning: Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet periodically with a soft cloth slightly dampened with mild soapy water. Dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth. For deeper cleaning of bracelet links, use a soft brush with soapy water, then rinse and dry completely.
- Chronograph Use: The chronograph function is designed for intermittent timing use. Avoid leaving the chronograph running continuously for extended periods, as this may accelerate battery depletion.
- Battery Replacement: When the seconds hand begins jumping in 4-second intervals, this indicates low battery. Have the battery replaced promptly by an authorised service centre to prevent potential leakage. Battery replacement should include a water resistance pressure test.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, strong magnetic fields (speakers, mobile devices, magnetic clasps) and extreme temperatures.
- Servicing: We recommend a complete service every 4-5 years, which includes movement inspection, case refinishing if desired, seal replacement and water resistance testing to maintain optimal performance.
- Strap Changes: If you wish to fit alternative NATO or leather straps, ensure the lug width is correct (consult specifications). Improper strap fitting may scratch the lugs or compromise the watch's security on your wrist.
