Description
The Tissot Classic Dream embodies timeless elegance with a refined two-tone aesthetic that bridges traditional watchmaking and contemporary style. The 42mm case combines brushed stainless steel with a polished yellow gold PVD-coated bezel, creating a sophisticated contrast that catches the light with every movement. The cream dial, adorned with classic Roman numerals and dauphine hands in gold, presents a harmonious composition that speaks to those who appreciate understated luxury.
At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer of Tissot watches, ensuring that every timepiece we offer comes with full manufacturer warranty and genuine Swiss craftsmanship. This Classic Dream model is powered by a Swiss quartz movement, delivering exceptional accuracy and reliability without the need for daily winding. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial, while the brown embossed leather strap with contrasting stitching adds a touch of refinement perfect for both business and leisure wear.
The date window at 3 o'clock provides practical functionality, while the water resistance of 30 metres (3 bar) ensures protection against everyday splashes. The quick-release strap system allows you to personalise your watch with ease, swapping between different straps to suit any occasion.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or showering?
A: No, with 30 metres (3 bar) water resistance, this watch is splash-resistant and suitable for everyday use, but it should not be worn while swimming, showering, or engaging in water sports. It protects against rain and hand washing only.
Q: What is the difference between quartz and automatic movements?
A: This Tissot Classic Dream features a Swiss quartz movement, which uses a battery to power the watch and offers exceptional accuracy (typically ±15 seconds per month). Unlike automatic movements, quartz watches require a battery replacement approximately every 2-3 years but do not need daily winding or wearing to maintain timekeeping.
Q: Can I change the leather strap myself?
A: Yes, this model features Tissot's quick-release strap system, which allows you to change the strap without tools. Simply press the quick-release button on the underside of the strap where it meets the case, and the strap will detach. You can then attach any compatible quick-release strap of the same width.
Q: What is PVD coating and will it wear off?
A: PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) is a high-tech coating process that bonds gold-coloured material to the stainless steel at a molecular level. It is significantly more durable than traditional plating and resistant to scratching and fading. With normal wear, the PVD coating on your Tissot will maintain its appearance for many years.
Q: How often does the battery need replacing?
A: Swiss quartz movements typically require battery replacement every 2-3 years, depending on usage. When your watch stops or begins running irregularly, it's time for a battery change. We recommend having this done by an authorised Tissot service centre to maintain your warranty coverage.
Q: Is this watch considered a dress watch or can it be worn casually?
A: The Classic Dream is a versatile timepiece that bridges dress and casual categories. Its refined two-tone design and Roman numeral dial make it suitable for formal occasions and business wear, while the brown leather strap and 42mm case size allow it to be dressed down for smart-casual settings. It's an excellent everyday watch for those who appreciate classic styling.
Q: Does this watch come in a presentation box?
A: Yes, all new Tissot watches from Cassims & Co. are supplied in the official Tissot presentation box with warranty card, instruction manual, and all accompanying documentation. This makes it an excellent choice for gifting or personal collection.
Warranty
- Warranty Period: This Tissot watch is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase.
- Warranty Coverage: The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- Valid When: The warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Tissot retailer such as Cassims & Co. The warranty card must be completed, stamped, and dated at the time of purchase.
- What Is Covered: Manufacturing defects in the movement, case, dial, hands, and factory-fitted bracelet or strap. Repairs or replacement of defective components will be carried out free of charge.
- What Is Not Covered: Normal wear and tear, scratches, impacts, or breakage of the case, crystal, strap, or bracelet. Damage caused by accidents, misuse, or improper handling. Water damage resulting from misuse or exceeding the stated water resistance. Battery replacement (batteries are consumable items). Damage caused by unauthorised repairs or modifications.

Care guide
- Daily Wear: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or direct impacts. Remove your watch before engaging in contact sports or activities involving heavy machinery.
- Water Exposure: With 3 bar water resistance, avoid submersion in water. Remove your watch before showering, swimming, or washing dishes. If the watch gets wet, dry it immediately with a soft cloth.
- Leather Strap Care: Leather is a natural material that will develop character over time. Avoid prolonged exposure to water, direct sunlight, and perfumes or cosmetics, which can cause discolouration or deterioration. Allow wet leather to dry naturally away from heat sources.
- Cleaning: Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, lint-free cloth. For the leather strap, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry. Never use chemical cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials on any part of your watch.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in its original box or a watch case away from direct sunlight and humidity. This protects both the watch and leather strap from environmental damage.
- Quartz Movement: If you notice the watch running irregularly or stopping, have the battery replaced promptly by an authorised service centre. A depleted battery left in the watch can leak and cause damage to the movement.
- Crystal Care: Although sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant, avoid contact with diamonds or other sapphire surfaces, which are among the few materials that can scratch it. Clean the crystal regularly to maintain clarity.
- Professional Servicing: We recommend having your Tissot serviced every 3-5 years to ensure optimal performance, including gasket replacement, case refinishing, and movement inspection.
