The Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph is a precision sports timepiece that combines Swiss quartz reliability with motorsport-inspired design. This pre-owned example features a commanding 43mm stainless steel case housing a black dial with three chronograph sub-dials, luminous hands and hour markers, and distinctive red accents that evoke the intensity of professional racing. The integrated tachymetre bezel allows for speed calculations, while the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal ensures lasting clarity. Water-resistant to 200 metres, this watch transitions seamlessly from the boardroom to weekend adventures.
Powered by a Swiss quartz movement, the PRC 200 delivers exceptional accuracy without the maintenance requirements of mechanical calibres. The chronograph complication provides split-second timing functionality across three sub-dials, tracking elapsed minutes and seconds with precision.

A screw-down crown and caseback ensure the stated water resistance, making this watch suitable for swimming and water sports.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming and diving?
A: Yes, with 200 metres of water resistance and a screw-down crown and caseback, this Tissot PRC 200 is suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and recreational water sports. However, chronograph pushers should not be operated underwater.
Q: What is the difference between quartz and automatic movements?
A: This watch uses a Swiss quartz movement, which is battery-powered and offers superior accuracy (typically within seconds per month) compared to mechanical movements. Quartz watches require less maintenance and are more shock-resistant, making them ideal for active lifestyles.
Q: How do I use the tachymetre bezel?
A: The tachymetre scale on the bezel allows you to calculate speed over a known distance. Start the chronograph as an object passes a start point, stop it at the end point (typically 1 kilometre), and read the speed in kilometres per hour from the tachymetre scale where the chronograph seconds hand points.
Q: What is included with this pre-owned watch?
A: Pre-owned watches are sold as-is with the timepiece and fitted strap. Original boxes and papers may not be included unless specifically stated. The watch has been inspected and verified as authentic by our team.
Q: Can the rubber strap be replaced?
A: Yes, the rubber strap can be replaced with another compatible strap. We offer strap replacement services at our Mall of the South boutique and can advise on suitable alternatives including leather, NATO, or steel bracelet options.
Q: How long does the battery last in this quartz watch?
A: Tissot quartz chronograph movements typically provide 2-4 years of battery life, depending on usage of the chronograph function. We offer battery replacement services at Cassim & Co. when required.
Q: Is this watch suitable for formal occasions?
A: While the PRC 200 is primarily a sports chronograph, its 43mm stainless steel case and sophisticated dial design make it versatile enough for smart-casual settings. For formal black-tie events, a dress watch with a leather strap would be more traditional.
