FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming and water sports?
A: Yes, the Tissot Supersport Chrono is water-resistant to 100 metres (10 ATM), making it suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and recreational water sports. However, it is not recommended for diving or high-impact water activities. Ensure the crown is properly secured before water exposure.
Q: How does the chronograph function work?
A: The chronograph allows you to time events with precision. Press the top pusher to start/stop timing, and the bottom pusher to reset. The central red hand measures elapsed seconds, the sub-dial at 3 o'clock tracks 30-minute intervals, and the sub-dial at 6 o'clock measures 1/10th of a second increments.
Q: What is the purpose of the tachymeter bezel?
A: The tachymeter scale on the aluminium bezel ring allows you to calculate average speed over a known distance. This motorsport-derived complication is useful for measuring velocity based on elapsed time, typically used over a one-kilometre or one-mile distance.
Q: How long does the battery last in this quartz watch?
A: Swiss quartz movements typically provide 2-4 years of battery life under normal usage conditions. Frequent use of the chronograph function may reduce battery longevity. When replacement is needed, visit Cassims & Co. for professional battery service to maintain water resistance integrity.
Q: Can I change the strap myself?
A: Yes, the Tissot Supersport Chrono features an interchangeable quick-release strap system that allows you to swap straps without tools. Compatible 22mm straps can be easily attached, enabling you to personalise your watch for different occasions.
Q: What does the black PVD coating provide?
A: Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) is an advanced surface treatment that bonds a durable black coating to the stainless steel case. This coating provides superior scratch resistance compared to standard finishes, maintains its colour over time, and delivers a modern stealth aesthetic.
Q: Is this watch covered by an international warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from Cassims & Co. as an authorised Tissot retailer, this watch includes a 2-year international manufacturer's warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty is valid worldwide at authorised Tissot service centres.

Care Guide
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater, chlorine, or sweat to prevent residue buildup and corrosion.
- Ensure the crown is pushed in fully and secured before any water exposure to maintain water resistance integrity.
- Avoid operating the chronograph pushers or crown while the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise water resistance.
- Clean the case, bezel, and strap regularly using a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water. For the synthetic strap, use mild soap if needed.
- Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, and harsh chemicals including perfumes, solvents, and cleaning agents, as these may damage the movement or coating.
- Have the watch inspected and the water resistance tested every 2-3 years, especially if regularly exposed to water.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. A watch box or pouch is ideal for protection.
- When the battery requires replacement (typically every 2-4 years), have it replaced by an authorised service centre to ensure proper sealing and water resistance testing.
- The black PVD coating is durable, but avoid impact with hard surfaces to maintain its finish. Should scratches occur, professional refinishing may be possible.
- If the watch exhibits irregular timekeeping, moisture under the crystal, or chronograph malfunction, discontinue use and bring it to Cassims & Co. for professional assessment.
