Description
The Tissot Supersport Chrono is the quintessence of modern sportiness, engineered for those who demand precision timing and bold aesthetics. This 45.5mm chronograph showcases a striking graduated blue dial that transitions from deep navy at the perimeter to lighter tones at the centre, framed by a blue aluminium tachymeter bezel. Three silver-toned subdials provide chronograph functionality, while applied hour indices with luminescent coating ensure legibility in all conditions. The 316L stainless steel case and matching three-link bracelet deliver exceptional durability and wrist presence, making this timepiece equally at home trackside or in the boardroom.
Powered by a Swiss-made quartz movement, this chronograph offers the reliability and accuracy that Tissot has been synonymous with since 1853. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial, while the interchangeable quick-release bracelet system allows you to personalise your look with ease. A date window positioned at 6 o'clock adds everyday practicality to this performance-oriented instrument. Whether you're timing laps or simply appreciating fine Swiss watchmaking, the Supersport Chrono delivers exceptional value in the accessible luxury segment.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or diving?
A: With 100 metres (10 bar) water resistance, this Tissot Supersport Chrono is suitable for swimming and snorkelling, but not for diving or high-impact water sports. It can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion, making it an excellent everyday sports watch.
Q: How long does the battery last in this quartz chronograph?
A: Swiss quartz movements typically provide 2-4 years of battery life, depending on usage of the chronograph function. When your battery needs replacement, visit us at Cassims & Co. and our technicians will replace it with a genuine component while checking the water resistance seals.
Q: Can I change the bracelet on this watch?
A: Yes, this model features Tissot's interchangeable quick-release system, allowing you to swap the 22mm bracelet for compatible straps without tools. This versatility lets you adapt the watch's appearance from sporty steel to casual leather or technical rubber.
Q: What is the tachymeter bezel used for?
A: The tachymeter scale on the aluminium bezel allows you to calculate average speed over a known distance. Start the chronograph at a marker, stop it at the next kilometre marker, and read your average speed in kilometres per hour directly from the bezel scale.
Q: Does this watch come with the full Tissot warranty?
A: Absolutely. As an authorised Tissot retailer, every Supersport Chrono purchased from Cassims & Co. includes a 2-year international manufacturer warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship.
Q: How accurate is the quartz movement?
A: Swiss quartz movements are among the most accurate timekeeping mechanisms available, typically varying by only ±15 seconds per month. This precision far exceeds mechanical movements and requires minimal maintenance beyond periodic battery replacement.
Q: Is the 45.5mm case size too large for smaller wrists?
A: The 45.5mm diameter creates a bold presence best suited to medium-to-large wrists (approximately 17cm circumference and above). We recommend visiting our Johannesburg showrooms to try the watch on and assess the fit and proportion on your wrist before purchasing.
Warranty
- This Tissot Supersport Chrono is covered by a 2-year international Tissot warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover: normal wear and tear, scratches or aesthetic damage to case/crystal/bracelet, battery replacement, water damage resulting from improper use or failure to maintain water resistance, damage from accidents or improper handling, or unauthorised modifications or repairs.
- Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may be affected by ageing of gaskets or accidental impact. Water resistance must be checked regularly, especially after battery replacement.
- To maintain warranty validity, any servicing or battery replacement must be carried out by an authorised Tissot service centre.
- The warranty is valid internationally and requires presentation of the original purchase receipt and completed warranty card.
- Cassims & Co., as an authorised Tissot retailer, will facilitate all warranty claims and provide guidance on warranty coverage.
Care guide
- Rinse with fresh water after exposure to salt water or chlorine to prevent corrosion of seals and bracelet.
- Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet periodically with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, ensuring the crown is fully screwed down.
- Avoid operating the chronograph pushers or crown when the watch is wet, as this may compromise water resistance.
- Never pull out the crown or press chronograph pushers underwater.
- Have the water resistance tested every 2-3 years, particularly after battery replacement, to ensure gasket integrity.
- Store your watch away from strong magnetic fields (speakers, laptops, magnetic clasps) which may affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Although sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant, avoid impact against hard surfaces such as concrete or ceramic tiles.
- Service the movement every 4-5 years to maintain optimal performance; quartz movements require minimal intervention but benefit from occasional lubrication checks.
- If the bracelet becomes loose or links require adjustment, visit Cassims & Co. for professional resizing using proper tools to avoid damaging the quick-release system.
