The Tissot Chrono XL is a commanding timepiece that merges military-inspired aesthetics with Swiss quartz precision. Housed in a bold 45mm 316L stainless steel case finished with black PVD coating, this chronograph makes an immediate impression on the wrist. The matte black dial features oversized luminescent Arabic numerals and a trio of chronograph subdials, all rendered in a warm beige-gold tone that echoes the vintage aviation instruments that inspired this collection. The beige hour and minute hands are generously coated with Super-LumiNova, ensuring legibility in all lighting conditions.
Powered by a Swiss-made quartz chronograph movement, the Chrono XL delivers reliable timekeeping with the added functionality of elapsed time measurement. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial, whilst the watch is water-resistant to 100 metres, making it suitable for swimming and water sports. The brown leather strap with contrasting white stitching provides both comfort and a rugged aesthetic that complements the military-inspired design language. At Cassim & Co., we are proud to present this exceptional timepiece from one of Switzerland's most storied watchmakers.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming?
A: Yes, with 100 metres of water resistance, the Tissot Chrono XL is suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and water sports. However, the chronograph pushers should not be operated whilst the watch is submerged or wet.
Q: How long will the battery last in this quartz chronograph?
A: Tissot quartz chronograph movements typically provide 2-4 years of battery life depending on usage frequency of the chronograph function. We offer battery replacement services at our Mall of the South boutique.
Q: Can I replace the leather strap with a different style?
A: Yes, this watch features an interchangeable quick-release strap system compatible with any 22mm strap. We can assist with strap selection and fitting at our boutique.
Q: What is the black coating on the case, and is it durable?
A: The case features a Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) coating, which bonds black titanium nitride to the stainless steel at a molecular level. This coating is highly scratch-resistant, though it can show wear with significant abrasion over time.
Q: Does this watch come with the official Tissot presentation box?
A: Yes, your Tissot Chrono XL will be delivered in the official Tissot presentation box with all accompanying documentation including the international warranty card and instruction manual.
Q: How accurate is the quartz chronograph movement?
A: Swiss quartz movements are exceptionally accurate, typically within ±15 seconds per month. The chronograph function can measure elapsed time to 1/10th of a second precision.
Q: Is the 45mm case size too large for smaller wrists?
A: The 45mm diameter represents a bold, contemporary size that wears comfortably on most wrists due to the relatively short lug-to-lug measurement. We recommend trying the watch on at our Mall of the South boutique to assess the fit on your wrist.

Care Guide
- Avoid operating the chronograph pushers when the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise water resistance.
- After exposure to salt water, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Clean the leather strap regularly with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Avoid prolonged exposure of the leather strap to moisture, perfumes, cosmetics, and direct sunlight, which can cause premature deterioration.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from magnetic fields, extreme temperatures, and direct sunlight when not in use.
- Have the battery replaced by an authorised service centre when the watch stops or shows diminished performance. A dying battery left in the watch can leak and cause damage.
- We recommend a complete service every 4-5 years to maintain water resistance and ensure optimal performance.
- Clean the sapphire crystal with a microfibre cloth to maintain clarity. For the PVD-coated case, use only a soft, slightly damp cloth.
- Avoid exposing your watch to strong chemicals, solvents, or abrasive materials that could damage the PVD coating.
- When setting the time or using the chronograph, pull the crown or pushers gently to avoid damage to the mechanism.
