The Tissot Ballade 40mm in stainless steel represents a refined chapter in Swiss watchmaking, blending vintage-inspired design cues with contemporary quartz precision. This reference T156.410.11.091.00 features a striking sunburst green dial with radial guilloché decoration that catches the light from every angle, framed by a coin-edge bezel that nods to classic dress watch aesthetics. Polished baton hour markers and a date window at 3 o'clock maintain legibility while preserving the dial's elegant symmetry. At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for Tissot watches, offering the full guarantee of Swiss authenticity with every timepiece.
Measuring 40mm in diameter and just 8.25mm thick, the Ballade achieves that increasingly rare sweet spot of proportions: substantial enough for presence, refined enough for a dress shirt cuff. The 316L stainless steel case is finished with a combination of brushed and polished surfaces, and the watch sits on a solid three-link bracelet with quick-release spring bars for effortless strap changes. Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating protects the dial, while water resistance to 3 bar (30 metres) provides everyday protection against splashes and rain.
Powered by a Swiss quartz movement, the Ballade prioritises accuracy and low-maintenance ownership—expect deviations of mere seconds per month, with a battery life measured in years rather than months. This is a watch for those who appreciate mechanical heritage but require the convenience of modern precision. Visit us at our Mall of the South boutique to experience the Ballade's refined finishing in person, or take advantage of nationwide delivery across South Africa. Our watch servicing and repairs team is always on hand for future battery replacements, bracelet adjustments, and any after-sales care you may require.

FAQ
Q: Is the Tissot Ballade an automatic or quartz watch?
A: This model is powered by a Swiss quartz movement, offering superior accuracy (typically within seconds per month) and low maintenance. Unlike automatic watches, it requires no winding and the battery will last several years before replacement.
Q: What is the water resistance of the Ballade 40mm?
A: The watch is water-resistant to 3 bar (30 metres), which protects against splashes, rain, and hand washing. It is not suitable for swimming, showering, or any water sports.
Q: Can I change the bracelet myself?
A: Yes. The Ballade features quick-release spring bars at a 20mm lug width, allowing you to swap straps or bracelets without tools. Simply depress the spring bar release and slide the bracelet out.
Q: What is the diameter and thickness of this watch?
A: The case measures 40mm in diameter and 8.25mm in thickness, making it a versatile size that suits most wrist sizes and works equally well under a suit cuff or as a daily casual watch.
Q: Does the green dial change appearance in different lighting?
A: Yes. The sunburst radial guilloché finish on the dial creates dynamic light play, shifting from deep forest green in low light to brighter emerald tones in direct sunlight. This is one of the watch's signature visual characteristics.
Q: What kind of crystal does the Ballade use?
A: The watch is fitted with scratch-resistant sapphire crystal treated with an anti-reflective coating. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness, ensuring long-term clarity and resistance to daily wear.
Q: Is this watch covered by an official warranty?
A: Yes. When purchased from Cassim & Co., this watch carries a 2-year international Tissot warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty is valid from the date of purchase and applies only to watches purchased from authorised retailers.

Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Avoid exposing your Tissot Ballade to strong magnetic fields (speakers, magnetic clasps, MRI machines), as these can affect quartz movement accuracy.
- Water Resistance: With 3 bar water resistance, the watch can tolerate splashes and rain, but should not be worn while swimming, showering, or washing dishes. Never operate the crown while the watch is wet.
- Cleaning: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, slightly damp microfibre cloth. For deeper cleaning of the bracelet, use a soft brush with mild soapy water, rinse carefully, and dry thoroughly. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners.
- Sapphire Crystal: While highly scratch-resistant, sapphire can shatter under impact. Avoid knocks against hard surfaces such as tiles, metal, or concrete.
- Storage: When not worn, store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid leaving it near heat sources or in humid environments such as bathrooms.
- Battery Replacement: Quartz batteries typically last 2-4 years. When the seconds hand begins jumping in 4-second intervals or the watch stops, bring it to Cassim & Co. for professional battery replacement. Never allow a depleted battery to remain in the watch, as leakage can damage the movement.
- Servicing: We recommend a movement service every 5-7 years to maintain optimal performance and water resistance. This includes gasket replacement and pressure testing.
- Bracelet Adjustment: Sizing and micro-adjustments should be performed by our trained technicians to avoid scratching the bracelet or damaging the quick-release system.
