The Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph is a precision-engineered sports watch that combines Swiss quartz accuracy with bold chronograph functionality. The 43mm stainless steel case houses a striking black dial punctuated by luminous indices and distinctive yellow chronograph hands, creating exceptional legibility in all conditions. The tachymeter-engraved bezel and tri-compax subdial layout deliver the functionality demanded by motorsport enthusiasts and those who appreciate purposeful tool watches.
At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for Tissot watches, ensuring every timepiece comes with full manufacturer warranty and authentication. This PRC 200 Chronograph features a screw-down crown and caseback construction, providing robust water resistance for active wear. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial while maintaining perfect clarity, and the solid stainless steel bracelet offers both comfort and durability for daily wear.
The Swiss quartz movement delivers exceptional accuracy and reliability, requiring minimal maintenance beyond periodic battery replacement. The chronograph complication provides 1/10th second timing precision, while the date window at 4 o'clock maintains everyday practicality. This is a watch built for those who demand performance without compromise, whether timing laps on the circuit or navigating the demands of professional life.
We invite you to experience this timepiece in person at our Mall of the South boutique in Johannesburg, where our specialist team can assist with sizing and answer any technical questions.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming and water sports?
A: Yes, the PRC 200 Chronograph is water-resistant to 20 ATM (200 metres), making it suitable for recreational swimming, snorkelling, and water sports. However, the chronograph pushers should not be operated underwater, and the screw-down crown must be fully secured before water exposure.
Q: How accurate is the Swiss quartz movement?
A: Swiss quartz movements are among the most accurate timekeeping mechanisms available, typically accurate to within ±15 seconds per month. This far exceeds the accuracy of even the finest mechanical movements and requires minimal adjustment.
Q: How often does the battery need replacement?
A: The battery in this quartz chronograph typically lasts 2-3 years depending on usage frequency of the chronograph functions. We recommend having the battery replaced by our authorised service team to maintain water resistance integrity.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized to fit my wrist?
A: Absolutely. The stainless steel bracelet can be professionally sized by our team at our Mall of the South boutique at the time of purchase, or anytime thereafter. We also offer this complimentary service for all Tissot watches purchased from Cassim & Co.
Q: What is the tachymeter bezel used for?
A: The tachymeter scale on the bezel allows you to calculate speed over a known distance, or measure productivity by timing repetitive tasks. It's a classic complication derived from motorsport timing, adding both functionality and aesthetic appeal to the chronograph.
Q: Does this watch come with an international warranty?
A: Yes, this timepiece includes a 2-year international Tissot warranty valid worldwide when purchased from an authorised retailer such as Cassim & Co. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship.
Q: Is the sapphire crystal scratch-proof?
A: While sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant and second only to diamond in hardness, it is not completely scratch-proof. However, it will resist scratches from everyday wear and most accidental contact, maintaining crystal clarity for years.

Care Guide
- Daily Care: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, lint-free cloth after wear to remove perspiration, oils, and residue that can accumulate throughout the day.
- Water Resistance: Ensure the screw-down crown is fully secured before any water exposure. Never operate the chronograph pushers or crown while the watch is wet or submerged.
- Cleaning: Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet periodically with warm soapy water and a soft brush, then rinse thoroughly and dry completely. This removes accumulated dirt from bracelet links.
- Avoid Chemicals: Remove your watch before exposure to solvents, detergents, perfumes, cosmetics, or chemicals, as these can damage seals, degrade water resistance, and affect the finish.
- Magnetic Fields: While quartz movements are less susceptible to magnetism than mechanical movements, avoid prolonged exposure to strong magnetic fields from speakers, magnetic clasps, or electronic devices.
- Impact Protection: Although built for sports wear, avoid severe impacts or dropping the watch, as this can damage the movement, crystal, or case integrity.
- Storage: When not wearing the watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The original box provides ideal protection.
- Battery Replacement: Have the battery replaced by an authorised Tissot service centre to ensure proper resealing and maintenance of water resistance. Low battery indication is typically shown by erratic chronograph hand movement.
- Professional Servicing: We recommend a complete service every 4-5 years, including gasket replacement, water resistance testing, and movement inspection to ensure optimal performance.
- Water Resistance Testing: After any battery replacement or servicing, have the water resistance tested to confirm all seals are functioning correctly.
