The Tissot PR 100 Chronograph in black PVD is a statement of contemporary Swiss watchmaking, combining precision quartz technology with a bold, stealth aesthetic. The 41mm case, forged from 316L stainless steel and finished with a scratch-resistant black PVD coating, houses a striking black dial featuring three chronograph sub-dials and a distinctive red central chronograph seconds hand. The dial is protected by sapphire crystal, ensuring clarity and durability, while the luminescent indices and hands guarantee legibility in all lighting conditions.

FAQ
Q: What is the difference between quartz and automatic movements?
A: This Tissot PR 100 features a Swiss quartz movement, which is battery-powered and offers exceptional accuracy (typically ±15 seconds per month) with minimal maintenance. Quartz movements are more affordable, require no winding, and are highly reliable. Automatic movements, by contrast, are mechanically wound by wrist motion and appeal to traditionalists but require regular wear or a watch winder.
Q: How do I operate the chronograph function?
A: The chronograph is controlled by two pushers on the case side. The pusher at 2 o'clock starts and stops the chronograph timing. The pusher at 4 o'clock resets the chronograph hands to zero. The central red hand counts elapsed seconds, while the sub-dials display elapsed minutes and running seconds. Always ensure the chronograph is stopped before resetting.
Q: Can I swim or shower with this watch?
A: With 10 bar (100 metres) water resistance, this watch is suitable for swimming, showering, and recreational water activities. However, it is not suitable for diving or high-impact water sports. Avoid operating the chronograph pushers or crown when the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise water resistance.
Q: What does PVD coating mean and how durable is it?
A: PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) is an advanced coating process that bonds a thin layer of black material to the stainless steel case and bracelet. This creates the watch's distinctive stealth appearance while providing excellent scratch and wear resistance. PVD coating is significantly more durable than paint or plating, though it can show wear over time with heavy use on high-contact areas.
Q: How often does the battery need replacing?
A: Swiss quartz movements typically provide 2-3 years of battery life, depending on usage of power-intensive functions like the chronograph. When the battery requires replacement, bring your watch to Cassims & Co. and our technicians will replace it with a genuine battery while checking the water resistance seals to maintain the watch's integrity.
Q: Can the Milanese bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the Milanese mesh bracelet features a sliding clasp that allows for micro-adjustments, ensuring a perfect fit on any wrist size. Our staff at Mall of the South can assist with adjustments at the time of purchase to ensure optimal comfort.
Q: Is this watch suitable for formal or casual occasions?
A: The all-black aesthetic of this PR 100 Chronograph makes it exceptionally versatile. The sophisticated Milanese bracelet elevates it for business and formal settings, while the sporty chronograph function and robust construction make it equally at home in casual and active environments. It's a genuine tool watch with refined styling that adapts to any occasion.
Warranty
- Warranty Period: This Tissot watch carries a 2-year international manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase when purchased from an authorised Tissot retailer.
- What is Covered: The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. This includes defects in the movement, case, dial, hands, and bracelet that arise from faulty manufacturing.
- What is NOT Covered: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, scratches, aesthetic deterioration of the PVD coating, battery replacement, damage to the crystal, water damage resulting from improper use or failure to ensure the crown was properly secured, damage caused by accidents, impacts, improper handling, unauthorised modifications or repairs, or damage from magnetic fields or chemical exposure.
- Warranty Validity: The warranty is only valid when the watch is purchased from an authorised Tissot retailer such as Cassims & Co. Proof of purchase from an authorised dealer must be presented for any warranty claims.
- Service During Warranty: Should a manufacturing defect occur during the warranty period, bring your watch and proof of purchase to Cassims & Co. and we will facilitate the warranty claim with Tissot on your behalf.

Care guide
- Daily Wear: Avoid impact with hard surfaces, as this can damage the case, crystal, or movement. Remove the watch during high-impact sports or activities involving heavy machinery.
- Water Exposure: Rinse with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorinated pool water. Always ensure the crown is pushed in fully and never operate the pushers or crown when the watch is wet.
- Cleaning: Clean the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush with mild soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely. Pay special attention to the mesh bracelet links where dirt can accumulate.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, magnetic fields, and extreme temperatures. A watch box or pouch is ideal.
- PVD Coating Care: While PVD coating is durable, avoid abrasive materials and harsh chemicals that could damage the finish. Use only soft cloths for cleaning.
- Servicing: Have your watch inspected every 2-3 years when replacing the battery. A complete service every 4-5 years is recommended to maintain optimal performance and water resistance.
- Magnetic Fields: Keep your watch away from strong magnetic sources such as speakers, mobile phones, and magnetic clasps, as these can affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Chemical Exposure: Avoid contact with solvents, detergents, perfumes, cosmetics, and other chemicals, as these can damage the PVD coating, seals, and bracelet.
