FAQ
Q: Is this watch a limited edition Tour de France model?
A: Yes, the Tissot PR 100 Tour de France T150.417.11.051.00 is a special edition timepiece created to celebrate the iconic cycling race. It features distinctive yellow accents and Tour de France branding on the engraved caseback, making it a collectible piece for cycling enthusiasts and watch collectors alike.
Q: Does this watch come with both a bracelet and a strap?
A: Yes, this model includes both a brushed stainless steel three-link bracelet and an additional black bi-material strap with yellow contrast stitching. This allows you to easily change the look of your watch to suit different occasions or personal preferences.
Q: What is the power source for this chronograph?
A: The watch is powered by a Swiss quartz movement, which means it uses a battery for power. Quartz movements are known for their exceptional accuracy and low maintenance requirements. Battery replacement is typically needed every 2-3 years and can be performed by our qualified watchmakers at Cassims & Co.
Q: Is the 40mm case size suitable for smaller wrists?
A: At 40mm, this watch offers a versatile sizing that works well on most wrist sizes. It's large enough to have commanding presence and excellent chronograph legibility, yet not so oversized that it overwhelms smaller wrists. We recommend visiting our Mall of the South boutique to try it on and ensure the perfect fit.
Q: Can I swim or shower with this watch?
A: Yes, with 100 metres of water resistance, this watch is suitable for swimming, showering, and water sports. However, it is not rated for diving or high-impact water activities. We recommend avoiding operating the chronograph pushers or crown while the watch is submerged or wet.
Q: How do I use the chronograph function?
A: The chronograph is operated via the two pushers on the right side of the case. The pusher at 2 o'clock starts and stops the chronograph, while the pusher at 4 o'clock resets the chronograph hands to zero. The three subdials display elapsed seconds, minutes, and hours of measured time.
Q: What maintenance does this quartz watch require?
A: Quartz watches require minimal maintenance compared to mechanical timepieces. We recommend having the battery replaced every 2-3 years by a qualified watchmaker, periodic cleaning of the case and bracelet, and avoiding extreme temperature changes or magnetic fields. Our watch servicing team at Cassims & Co. can handle all maintenance needs.

Care Guide
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals that may damage the movement or case finish.
- Although water-resistant to 100 metres, do not operate the chronograph pushers or crown while the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise the seals.
- Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water with mild soap and a soft brush, then dry thoroughly.
- The leather portions of the bi-material strap should be kept dry when possible. Avoid prolonged exposure to water, perspiration, or direct sunlight to prevent premature deterioration.
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker every 2-3 years or when the watch stops functioning. Battery replacement also provides an opportunity to check gaskets and water resistance.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not wearing it. If storing for extended periods, ensure the chronograph is stopped and reset to preserve the movement.
- We recommend having your Tissot serviced every 4-5 years to maintain optimal performance. This includes movement cleaning, lubrication, gasket replacement, and water resistance testing.
- Avoid impacts, drops, or knocks that could damage the movement, crystal, or case. While the sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant, it can still crack under severe impact.
- If the watch exhibits condensation under the crystal, cease wearing it immediately and bring it to our servicing team, as this indicates compromised water resistance.
