The Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph represents Swiss precision engineered for the modern professional. Built around a Swiss quartz movement, this 43mm chronograph delivers exceptional accuracy and functionality in a refined stainless steel case. The silvered dial features three sub-dials for chronograph measurement, bold Arabic numerals at 12, 9, and 3 o'clock positions, and applied indices that catch the light with every movement of the wrist.
Water-resistant to 20 bar (200 metres), this timepiece is equipped with a screw-down crown and case back, ensuring robust protection whether you're timing a presentation or navigating the demands of an active lifestyle. The fixed tachymeter bezel offers racing-inspired functionality, allowing you to calculate speed over distance. Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial, whilst the solid stainless steel bracelet provides exceptional comfort and durability. At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised dealer for this distinguished Swiss manufacture.
The PRC 200 collection draws its name from Tissot's heritage in precision timing for motorsport, and this chronograph embodies that legacy with contemporary design. The silvered dial offers excellent legibility, whilst the three-register layout provides 1/10th second, 30-minute, and small seconds counters. The date window positioned at 4:30 maintains visual balance across the dial. Every element has been considered, from the polished case finishing to the solid end-links of the bracelet, creating a watch that transitions seamlessly from boardroom to weekend.
