The Tissot Supersport Chrono is a precision-engineered sports chronograph that fuses Swiss watchmaking excellence with contemporary athleticism. Housed in a robust 45.5mm stainless steel case, this timepiece features a commanding black dial with three chronograph subdials, a date window at 6 o'clock, and bold red accents that underscore its performance-driven character. The black aluminium tachymeter bezel, marked to 400 units, allows for speed measurement—a classic chronograph complication that pays homage to motorsport heritage.
Powered by a Swiss-made quartz movement, the Supersport Chrono delivers exceptional accuracy and reliability without the need for daily winding. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial, while the integrated stainless steel bracelet provides both comfort and durability for active wear. Water-resistant to 10 bar (100 metres), this watch is built to withstand splashes and brief immersion, making it a versatile companion for both sporting pursuits and formal occasions.

FAQ
Q: What is a tachymeter and how do I use it on this watch?
A: A tachymeter is a scale printed on the bezel that allows you to measure speed over a known distance. Start the chronograph as an object passes a starting point, then stop it at the finish line (typically 1 kilometre). The chronograph hand will point to a number on the tachymeter scale, indicating the average speed in kilometres per hour. This complication was originally developed for motorsport timing.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming?
A: With a water resistance rating of 10 bar (100 metres), the Supersport Chrono is suitable for recreational swimming and showering. However, we do not recommend operating the chronograph pushers underwater, as this may compromise the water seal. The watch is not rated for scuba diving or high-impact water sports.
Q: How often will I need to replace the battery in this quartz watch?
A: A typical Swiss quartz movement battery lasts between 2 to 4 years, depending on usage of the chronograph function (which consumes more power). When replacement is needed, we recommend having it done by our authorised service centre to maintain water resistance and warranty validity. Cassims & Co. offers battery replacement services at our Mall of the South boutique.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet features removable links that can be adjusted for a precise fit. Our team at Cassims & Co. provides complimentary bracelet sizing at the time of purchase. We recommend visiting our boutique for professional adjustment to ensure optimal comfort and security.
Q: What is the difference between quartz and automatic movements?
A: Quartz movements are battery-powered and use an electronic oscillator regulated by a quartz crystal to keep time. They are significantly more accurate than mechanical movements (typically ±15 seconds per month) and require minimal maintenance. Automatic movements are self-winding mechanical calibres powered by the motion of your wrist. While they offer traditional horological craftsmanship, they require regular wear or use of a watch winder and are less accurate than quartz.
Q: Does this watch come with the official Tissot warranty?
A: Yes. As an authorised Tissot retailer, Cassims & Co. provides the full 2-year international Tissot warranty with every Supersport Chrono purchased. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship and is valid worldwide at any authorised Tissot service centre.
Q: What is the case thickness of the Supersport Chrono?
A: While the official specifications confirm a 45.5mm diameter, Tissot has not published the exact case thickness for this reference. Based on similar Supersport Chrono models, we estimate it to be approximately 11-12mm, providing a balanced profile that sits comfortably on the wrist without excessive height.

Care Guide
- Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or direct impact, as these can affect timekeeping accuracy and damage internal components.
- Do not operate the chronograph pushers or adjust the crown while the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise water resistance seals.
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorinated pool water to prevent corrosion of the case and bracelet.
- Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush with mild soapy water, then dry thoroughly.
- Have the water resistance seals tested every 2-3 years, especially if you regularly expose the watch to water. Gaskets deteriorate over time and require periodic replacement.
- When the battery requires replacement (typically every 2-4 years), have this service performed by an authorised Tissot service centre to maintain water resistance and warranty validity.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid storing near speakers, mobile phones, or other magnetic devices.
- The sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant but not shatterproof. Avoid striking the crystal against hard surfaces such as concrete or ceramic tiles.
- If the chronograph function begins to operate sluggishly or the watch loses accuracy beyond normal quartz tolerances (±15 seconds per month), consult an authorised service centre for inspection.
