This 40mm timepiece features a striking black dial with elongated applied indices and a date window at 3 o'clock, all housed within a polished 316L stainless steel case.

At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for Tissot watches, ensuring that every timepiece comes with the full manufacturer's international warranty and complete peace of mind. The PR 100 collection exemplifies Tissot's heritage of precision, a tradition dating back to 1853 in the Swiss watchmaking town of Le Locle. The name PR 100 itself refers to the collection's 100-metre water resistance rating, making this watch suitable for everyday wear including swimming and water sports.
Protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, the dial showcases Tissot's attention to detail with its perfectly balanced layout and highly legible hour markers. The Swiss quartz movement ensures accuracy within seconds per month, whilst the quick-release strap system allows for effortless customisation. Whether you're in the boardroom or enjoying leisure time, this versatile dress watch transitions seamlessly between formal and casual settings.

FAQ
Q: What type of movement does this Tissot PR 100 use?
A: This watch is powered by a Swiss quartz movement, which offers exceptional accuracy and reliability with minimal maintenance. Quartz movements are known for their precision, typically gaining or losing only a few seconds per month, and require a battery replacement approximately every 2-3 years.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming?
A: Yes, the Tissot PR 100 is water-resistant to 100 metres (10 bar), making it suitable for swimming, showering, and water sports. However, the crown should always be pushed in fully and never operated underwater. We recommend avoiding hot water exposure, as heat can compromise the seals.
Q: Can I change the leather strap myself?
A: Absolutely. This model features Tissot's interchangeable quick-release strap system, allowing you to swap straps without any tools. Simply pull the quick-release lever and slide the strap out. This makes it easy to personalise your watch with different strap options to suit various occasions.
Q: What is the difference between sapphire crystal and mineral crystal?
A: Sapphire crystal is significantly harder and more scratch-resistant than mineral crystal, ranking 9 on the Mohs hardness scale (second only to diamond). This Tissot PR 100 features sapphire crystal, ensuring the dial remains clear and scratch-free even with daily wear, preserving the watch's appearance for years.
Q: What size wrist will this watch fit?
A: The leather strap can accommodate most wrist sizes, and our team at Cassim & Co. provides complimentary professional sizing at our Mall of the South boutique to ensure a perfect fit. The 40mm case diameter is considered a versatile size that suits a wide range of wrist sizes.
Q: How often does the battery need replacing in a quartz watch?
A: Swiss quartz movements typically require battery replacement every 2-3 years, depending on usage. At Cassim & Co., we offer professional battery replacement services using genuine components to maintain your watch's water resistance and warranty coverage.
Q: Does this watch have luminescent hands?
A: Yes, the hands feature luminescent coating for visibility in low-light conditions, though this is a dress watch designed primarily for daytime wear. The luminescence provides basic night-time legibility when needed.
Warranty
- This Tissot watch is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase.
- The warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Tissot retailer such as Cassim & Co.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including scratches to the case, crystal, or strap, nor does it cover battery depletion.
- Water damage resulting from improper use, such as operating the crown underwater or exceeding the stated water resistance rating, is excluded from warranty coverage.
- Accidental damage, impacts, unauthorised modifications, or servicing by non-authorised service centres will void the warranty.
- To claim warranty service, the original purchase receipt and completed warranty card must be presented.
- Warranty service must be performed by authorised Tissot service centres to maintain coverage validity.
- The warranty does not extend the original warranty period following any repair or replacement of components.
Care Guide
- Wipe the stainless steel case and sapphire crystal regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, dust, and moisture.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals including perfumes, solvents, and cleaning products which may damage the leather strap or case seals.
- Although water-resistant to 100 metres, always ensure the crown is pushed fully in against the case before any water contact. Never operate the crown when the watch is wet or submerged.
- To preserve the leather strap, avoid prolonged water exposure and allow it to dry naturally if it becomes wet. Keep leather away from direct sunlight when not wearing the watch to prevent fading and cracking.
- Have the battery replaced by an authorised service centre when the watch stops or shows signs of low power. Delaying battery replacement can risk leakage which may damage the movement.
- We recommend a complete service every 4-5 years, including water resistance testing, seal replacement, and movement inspection to ensure optimal performance.
- Store your Tissot in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use, preferably in its original box or a watch case to protect it from dust and impacts.
- Avoid impacts and knocks to the case, crystal, and crown. While sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant, it can crack or shatter upon severe impact.
