This 42mm Tissot chronograph captures attention immediately with its striking emerald green dial, a bold departure from conventional sports watch aesthetics. The round stainless steel case, measuring 42mm in diameter, frames three recessed chronograph subdials that maintain perfect symmetry across the rich green surface, while luminous Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock ensure instant legibility in any lighting condition. A date window positioned at six o'clock adds everyday practicality to this precision Swiss quartz timepiece.
Beneath the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, the Swiss quartz chronograph movement delivers reliable accuracy and responsive split-second timing, ideal for those who value performance without the maintenance demands of a mechanical calibre. The green dial exhibits a subtle sunburst finish that shifts in tone as light plays across its surface, creating a dynamic visual character that complements both casual and tailored wardrobes. Water-resistant to 100 metres, this Tissot handles daily exposure to moisture with confidence, from sudden downpours to poolside wear.
The watch is secured by a brown embossed leather strap with a crocodile-texture pattern, its rich chocolate tone providing an elegant contrast to the steel case and dial colour. Quick-release spring bars allow effortless strap changes should you wish to experiment with alternative styles. At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised Tissot retailer, ensuring every purchase is backed by a genuine 2-year international warranty and full access to our watch servicing and repairs team for battery replacements, strap adjustments, and technical support.

FAQ
Q: What is the difference between quartz and automatic chronographs?
A: Quartz chronographs like this Tissot use a battery-powered movement that offers superior accuracy (typically ±15 seconds per month) and requires no daily winding. Automatic chronographs are mechanically wound by wrist motion and appeal to enthusiasts who appreciate traditional watchmaking, but require regular wear or a watch winder. For reliability and precision timing, quartz is the practical choice.
Q: Can I swim or shower with this 100m water-resistant watch?
A: Yes, 100 metres of water resistance is suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and showering. Avoid operating the chronograph pushers or crown while the watch is submerged or wet, as this can compromise the seals. Hot water and soaps can degrade gaskets over time, so we recommend removing the watch before hot showers or spa sessions.
Q: How long does the battery last in this quartz chronograph?
A: Tissot quartz chronographs typically run for 2-3 years on a single battery, depending on usage of the chronograph function and backlight (if applicable). When replacement is needed, visit our Mall of the South boutique or contact us — we use genuine Tissot-approved batteries and pressure-test the watch after every service to maintain water resistance.
Q: Can I change the leather strap myself?
A: Absolutely. This model features quick-release spring bars that allow tool-free strap changes in seconds. Simply slide the small lever on the underside of the strap where it meets the case, and the bar retracts to release the strap. Any standard 22mm strap will fit (measure between the lugs to confirm), opening up endless personalisation options from NATO to rubber to mesh bracelets.
Q: Is this watch suitable for formal occasions with its green dial?
A: While traditional dress watches favour neutral dials, this emerald green chronograph occupies a sophisticated middle ground. Paired with the brown leather strap, it works beautifully with earth-toned tailoring, smart-casual attire, and even charcoal or navy suits for those who appreciate a touch of personality. The sunburst finish adds refinement that elevates it beyond pure sports-watch territory.
Q: Does Cassims & Co. offer resizing or strap adjustments?
A: Yes, our in-house team provides complimentary leather strap sizing at the time of purchase (punch additional holes or trim to fit). For any questions about adjustments, battery replacements, or other servicing needs, please contact our team for full details on current policies and turnaround times.
Q: What is covered under the Tissot warranty?
A: This watch includes a 2-year international Tissot warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty is valid when purchased from an authorised retailer like Cassims & Co. It does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacement, accidental damage, or water damage resulting from misuse (such as operating pushers underwater). Proof of purchase is required for all warranty claims.
Warranty
- Manufacturer Warranty: This Tissot watch is covered by a 2-year international warranty from the date of purchase, valid when purchased from an authorised retailer such as Cassims & Co.
- Coverage: The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- Exclusions: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear (scratches, strap wear, fading), battery replacement, damage caused by accidents or improper use, water damage resulting from failure to observe water resistance limitations or operating the crown/pushers while wet, damage from unauthorised repairs or modifications, or loss or theft of the watch.
- Proof of Purchase: The original purchase receipt or warranty card must be presented for all warranty claims. Keep these documents in a safe place.
- Service Centre: Warranty service must be carried out by Tissot or an authorised Tissot service centre. Cassims & Co. will facilitate all warranty claims and arrange service on your behalf.
- Battery Replacement: The initial battery is not covered under warranty, as battery life depends on usage patterns. Subsequent battery replacements are a normal maintenance expense and are not covered.
Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Avoid impact and knocks to the case, crystal, and pushers. While sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant, it can shatter under extreme force.
- Crown and Pushers: Never operate the chronograph pushers or pull out the crown while the watch is wet or submerged, as water can enter the case and damage the movement.
- Water Resistance: Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorine. Have gaskets inspected and water resistance tested every 2-3 years, especially after battery changes.
- Leather Strap Care: Leather is a natural material that will patina and darken over time. Avoid prolonged water exposure, perfumes, and lotions, which can stain or dry out the leather. Allow the strap to dry fully if it gets wet, and rotate with a second strap if you wear the watch daily.
- Storage: When not in use, store the watch in a cool, dry place away from magnetic fields (speakers, laptops, magnetic clasps). Quartz movements are less affected by magnetism than mechanical ones, but strong fields can still interfere with timekeeping.
- Cleaning: Wipe the case, crystal, and strap regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. For the steel case, a slightly damp cloth can remove oils and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Servicing: Quartz chronographs require minimal maintenance compared to mechanical watches, but a full service every 5-7 years (movement cleaning, lubrication, gasket replacement) will extend the watch's lifespan. Contact Cassims & Co. for authorised Tissot servicing.
