The Tissot Classic Dream embodies timeless elegance with its clean white dial adorned with classic Roman numeral hour markers and a discreet date window positioned at 3 o'clock. Housed in a refined 42mm 316L stainless steel case and paired with a rich brown embossed leather strap, this Swiss quartz timepiece strikes the perfect balance between traditional watchmaking aesthetics and contemporary wearability. The dial's understated beauty is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, ensuring lasting clarity and durability for daily wear.
Powered by a precision Swiss quartz movement, the Classic Dream offers reliable timekeeping without the need for daily winding, making it an ideal choice for those who appreciate Swiss horological heritage in a low-maintenance package. The 42mm case diameter provides excellent legibility whilst remaining proportionate on most wrist sizes, and the quick-release leather strap system allows for effortless personalisation and strap changes. Water-resistant to 5 bar (50 metres), this watch handles everyday moisture exposure with confidence, though it is not designed for swimming or water sports.

FAQ
Is this watch suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the Tissot Classic Dream is designed for daily wear. Its Swiss quartz movement requires no winding, the sapphire crystal resists scratching, and the 5 bar water resistance protects against splashes, rain, and handwashing. However, it should not be worn whilst swimming or showering.
How often does the battery need replacing?
Swiss quartz movements typically run for 2 to 3 years on a single battery, depending on usage. When replacement is needed, we recommend having it serviced by our authorised technicians to maintain water resistance and warranty validity.
Can I change the leather strap myself?
Yes, this model features Tissot's quick-release strap system, allowing you to change straps without tools. Simply press the release mechanism and slide the strap out. Replacement straps are available in various colours and materials to suit different occasions.
What is the warranty on this Tissot watch?
This watch comes with a 2-year international Tissot warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer like Cassims & Co. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship but excludes normal wear, battery replacement, and damage from misuse.
Is the 42mm case size too large for smaller wrists?
The 42mm diameter is considered a versatile mid-size in modern watch standards. It suits most wrist sizes well, typically wearing comfortably on wrists from 16cm to 20cm circumference. We invite you to visit our Mall of the South boutique to try it on and ensure the perfect fit.
What does the sapphire crystal offer compared to mineral glass?
Sapphire crystal is significantly harder and more scratch-resistant than mineral glass, ranking 9 on the Mohs hardness scale. This means your watch dial will remain clear and legible for years, resisting the minor scratches that occur during everyday wear.
Can I wear this watch whilst washing my hands or in the rain?
Yes, the 5 bar water resistance rating means the watch can handle handwashing, rain, and accidental splashes without issue. However, do not operate the crown when the watch is wet, and avoid pressing any buttons underwater if the model has complications.

Care Guide
- Wipe the case and crystal regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, dust, and oils.
- Clean the leather strap occasionally with a slightly damp cloth, avoiding excessive moisture. Allow it to dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals including perfumes, solvents, and cleaning products.
- Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet or submerged to prevent water ingress.
- Have the battery replaced by an authorised Tissot service centre to ensure proper resealing and water resistance maintenance.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably in its original box or a watch case to protect it from dust and impacts.
- If the watch has not been worn for an extended period, ensure the crown is pushed fully in and check that the time and date are correctly set before wearing.
- Avoid impact and dropping the watch, as this can damage the movement, crystal, or case.
- Leather straps will naturally age and develop patina with wear. Rotate with alternative straps to extend longevity.
- Service the watch every 4 to 5 years to maintain optimal performance and water resistance, even if it appears to be running well.
