The Tissot PRX 40mm in reference T137.410.16.041.00 represents a masterful reinterpretation of 1970s integrated bracelet design, now presented on a sophisticated navy blue leather strap with alligator embossing. This Swiss-made quartz timepiece features a striking sunray blue dial that transitions from deep midnight tones at the periphery to lighter shades towards the centre, creating a captivating depth that catches the light with every movement of the wrist. The 40mm case in 316L stainless steel exhibits the signature PRX integrated construction, where polished and brushed surfaces alternate to define the architectural lines of this modern classic.
At Cassim & Co., we are proud to offer this exceptional timepiece as an authorised Tissot retailer, ensuring that every PRX 40mm purchased from us carries the full backing of the manufacturer's international warranty and our commitment to after-sales excellence. The Swiss quartz movement within delivers precision timekeeping with minimal intervention, requiring only periodic battery replacement by trained technicians, while the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal ensures the dial remains unmarked through years of daily wear.
The navy blue alligator-embossed leather strap introduces a refined versatility to the PRX collection, allowing this piece to transition seamlessly from boardroom to cocktail hour. The quick-release system enables effortless strap changes without tools, inviting owners to build a collection of straps to match any occasion or wardrobe. Luminescent hands and hour markers ensure legibility in all lighting conditions, while the date window positioned at 3 o'clock maintains the dial's balanced symmetry.
Water resistance to 100 metres provides confidence for daily activities including swimming and water sports, though the leather strap is best reserved for drier pursuits. Those seeking the full integrated bracelet experience will find the complete Tissot watches collection in our boutique, where multiple PRX variants await personal inspection. Visit us at our Mall of the South boutique to experience the quality of Swiss watchmaking firsthand, or contact our team to arrange nationwide delivery anywhere in South Africa. Our watch servicing and repairs specialists remain available for battery replacements, strap adjustments, and any technical support your Tissot may require throughout its lifetime.

FAQ
Q: Is this Tissot PRX model automatic or quartz?
A: This reference T137.410.16.041.00 houses a Swiss quartz movement, offering exceptional accuracy and low maintenance. Tissot also produces automatic versions of the PRX in different references, but this 40mm blue dial model on leather strap is quartz-powered, requiring battery replacement approximately every 2-3 years depending on usage.
Q: Can I swim or shower with this watch?
A: The watch itself is water-resistant to 100 metres and suitable for swimming and water sports. However, the navy blue leather strap is best kept dry to preserve its appearance and longevity. We recommend switching to a rubber or metal bracelet for aquatic activities, which can be done easily using the quick-release system.
Q: How do I change the leather strap on this PRX?
A: This model features Tissot's quick-release strap system, allowing you to swap straps without tools in seconds. Simply pull the small lever on the underside of the strap where it meets the case, slide the strap out, and insert a new compatible strap until it clicks into place. Visit our boutique and our team can demonstrate this feature and show you additional strap options.
Q: What is the lug width for aftermarket straps?
A: The Tissot PRX 40mm utilises an integrated strap design. While the quick-release system accepts Tissot-compatible straps, standard aftermarket straps with traditional spring bars will not fit due to the case architecture. We recommend genuine Tissot straps or compatible alternatives designed specifically for the PRX collection.
Q: Does this watch have a screw-down crown?
A: No, the PRX features a push-pull crown rather than a screw-down design. The 100-metre water resistance rating is achieved through precision gaskets and case construction. Ensure the crown is pushed fully into the closed position after setting the time or date to maintain the water-resistance seal.
Q: Is the blue dial colour exactly as shown in the photograph?
A: The sunray blue dial exhibits significant depth and colour variation depending on lighting conditions, transitioning from deep navy to lighter blue tones. While the product photograph accurately represents the watch, we strongly recommend viewing it in person at our Mall of the South boutique to appreciate the full three-dimensional effect of the dial finishing.
Q: What battery does this Tissot quartz movement use and where can I get it replaced?
A: The Swiss quartz movement requires a specific battery type that should be replaced by qualified watchmakers to maintain water resistance and warranty validity. Cassim & Co. offers battery replacement services for all Tissot watches purchased from us. Contact our servicing team to arrange an appointment, and we will replace the battery, test water resistance, and ensure your PRX continues performing to Swiss standards.
Warranty
- Warranty Coverage: This Tissot PRX carries a 2-year international manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase, valid only when purchased from an authorised Tissot retailer such as Cassim & Co.
- What Is Covered: The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship affecting the movement, case, dial, hands, and crystal under normal use conditions.
- What Is Not Covered: The warranty excludes normal wear and tear, battery replacement, leather strap deterioration, scratches or damage to case or crystal, water damage resulting from improper crown operation or gasket degradation, damage from accidents, impacts, or misuse, and any unauthorised repairs or modifications.
- Water Resistance: Water-resistance is not a permanent condition and may be affected by ageing gaskets or accidental impact. We recommend water-resistance testing annually if you regularly expose the watch to water.
- Warranty Service: To claim warranty service, present your original purchase receipt to Cassim & Co. or any authorised Tissot service centre. We will assess the watch and arrange repair or replacement of defective components at no charge if the claim is valid.
- Battery Replacement: Battery replacement is considered routine maintenance and is not covered under warranty. Cassim & Co. offers battery replacement services for all Tissot watches with water-resistance testing included.
- After-Warranty Support: Even after the 2-year warranty period expires, Cassim & Co. continues to support all Tissot watches sold through our boutique with servicing, repairs, and technical advice. Contact our team for quotations on any post-warranty work required.
Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Avoid impact with hard surfaces that may scratch the sapphire crystal or damage the case. Remove the watch before engaging in contact sports or activities involving sudden shocks.
- Leather Strap Care: Keep the navy blue leather strap dry whenever possible. Exposure to water, perspiration, and humidity will darken the leather and reduce its lifespan. Wipe the strap with a soft, dry cloth after wear and allow it to air completely before storage.
- Water Exposure: While the watch is water-resistant to 100 metres, ensure the crown is pushed fully in before any water contact. Rinse with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorinated water, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Switch to a non-leather strap for regular aquatic activities.
- Cleaning the Case: Clean the stainless steel case with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush with mild soap solution, rinse carefully, and dry completely. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may scratch polished surfaces.
- Quartz Movement Care: Have the battery replaced every 2-3 years by a qualified watchmaker. Do not leave a depleted battery in the watch, as leakage may damage the movement. If the seconds hand begins jumping in 4-second intervals, this indicates low battery and immediate replacement is needed.
- Magnetic Fields: While quartz movements are less susceptible than mechanical calibres, avoid prolonged exposure to strong magnetic fields from speakers, magnetic clasps, or industrial equipment, which may affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Storage: Store your Tissot PRX in its original box or a watch case when not in use, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing long-term with a depleted battery, have the battery removed to prevent potential leakage.
- Professional Servicing: We recommend a complete service every 5-7 years, including movement inspection, gasket replacement, and water-resistance testing. Cassim & Co. can arrange all servicing requirements with authorised Tissot service centres.
