The Tissot Supersport Chrono T125.617.16.041.00 is a commanding statement of Swiss precision and sporting prowess. Housed in a robust 45.5mm stainless steel case, this timepiece features a striking sunburst blue dial that catches the light from every angle, complemented by an aluminium tachymeter bezel for motorsport-inspired functionality. The dial architecture is purposeful: applied luminescent hour markers ensure exceptional legibility in low-light conditions, while three chronograph subdials deliver split-second timing precision. A date window at 4 o'clock maintains practical everyday utility without compromising the dial's balanced aesthetic.
Powered by a Swiss quartz movement, the Supersport Chrono delivers the accuracy and reliability that Tissot has championed since 1853. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial face, whilst the case offers water resistance to 100 metres—suitable for swimming and water sports, though not diving. The brown leather strap with contrasting stitching adds a touch of vintage-inspired character, offsetting the technical modernity of the dial and bezel. At Cassim & Co., we are proud to offer this exceptional timepiece as an authorised retailer of Tissot watches, ensuring every purchase is backed by genuine warranty protection and expert after-sales care.
This chronograph is designed for those who demand performance without sacrificing style. The tachymeter scale on the aluminium bezel ring allows you to calculate speed over a known distance, a feature beloved by motorsport enthusiasts and aviation professionals alike. The pushers at 2 and 4 o'clock operate the chronograph functions with crisp, tactile feedback, whilst the crown guards protect the time-setting mechanism from accidental adjustment. Whether timing a lap, tracking a meeting, or simply appreciating fine horology, the Supersport Chrono rises to every occasion.
We invite you to experience the Tissot Supersport Chrono in person at our Mall of the South boutique in Johannesburg, where our knowledgeable team can assist with sizing, strap adjustments, and any technical questions you may have. Our watch servicing and repairs team is always on hand to ensure your timepiece maintains its precision for years to come, with battery replacements, pressure testing, and routine maintenance available.

FAQ
Q: What is the power source for this chronograph?
A: The Tissot Supersport Chrono is powered by a Swiss quartz movement, which requires a battery replacement approximately every 2-3 years depending on chronograph usage. Battery replacement services are available at our Mall of the South boutique.
Q: Can I wear this watch whilst swimming?
A: Yes, with water resistance to 100 metres (10 ATM), the Supersport Chrono is suitable for swimming and recreational water sports. However, the chronograph pushers should not be operated underwater, and the watch is not suitable for diving activities.
Q: What is the tachymeter bezel used for?
A: The tachymeter scale on the aluminium bezel allows you to calculate speed over a known distance. Start the chronograph as you pass a starting point, stop it at the end point (typically after 1 kilometre), and read the speed in kilometres per hour on the tachymeter scale.
Q: Is the leather strap adjustable or replaceable?
A: The leather strap can be adjusted by our in-house team for optimal wrist fit, and it can be replaced with alternative 22mm straps if desired. We stock a range of compatible leather and rubber straps for the Supersport collection.
Q: How accurate is a Swiss quartz movement?
A: Swiss quartz movements are exceptionally accurate, typically varying by only ±15 seconds per month. This is significantly more precise than mechanical movements, making quartz ideal for chronograph timing functions.
Q: Does this watch come with the original Tissot warranty?
A: Yes, as an authorised Tissot retailer, every Supersport Chrono purchased from Cassim & Co. includes the full 2-year international Tissot warranty, valid from the date of purchase.
Q: What does the date window magnification look like?
A: The date window at 4 o'clock on this model does not feature magnification. The date is displayed in a white-on-black window format for optimal contrast against the blue dial.
Warranty
- This watch carries a 2-year international Tissot warranty from the date of purchase, valid when purchased from an authorised retailer such as Cassim & Co.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, including movement malfunctions and case or crystal defects arising from normal use.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including scratches, strap wear, or crystal surface marks resulting from everyday use.
- Battery replacement is not covered under warranty, as batteries are considered consumable items with a limited service life.
- Water damage resulting from misuse, such as operating the crown or pushers underwater, swimming beyond the stated water resistance depth, or failure to maintain gasket integrity, is excluded from warranty coverage.
- Accidental damage, impacts, drops, or damage resulting from unauthorised repairs or modifications will void the warranty.
- To maintain warranty validity, retain your original purchase receipt and warranty card, and ensure any servicing is performed by authorised Tissot service centres.
- Cassim & Co. provides complimentary strap adjustments, sizing consultations, and battery replacement services for all watches purchased from us, supporting your timepiece throughout its lifetime.
Care Guide
- Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or sudden temperature changes, as these may affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Do not operate the chronograph pushers or crown whilst the watch is underwater, as this may compromise water resistance.
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorinated water, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Have the water resistance tested annually if you regularly expose the watch to water, particularly before the summer swimming season.
- Clean the stainless steel case and leather strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For the case, a slightly dampened cloth may be used, but avoid wetting the leather strap.
- Condition the leather strap every few months with a suitable leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. A watch box or pouch is ideal for preventing scratches.
- Replace the battery promptly when the chronograph hand begins to jump or when timekeeping becomes irregular. A depleted battery left in the movement may leak and cause damage.
- Service the quartz movement every 5-7 years to ensure optimal performance and longevity, including movement cleaning and gasket replacement.
- Avoid impact or dropping the watch, as this may damage the quartz movement or sapphire crystal despite their durability.
