FAQ
Q: What type of movement powers this Tissot T-Race Cycling chronograph?
A: This watch is powered by a Swiss-made quartz chronograph movement, offering exceptional accuracy and reliability with minimal maintenance requirements. Unlike automatic movements, quartz calibres require only battery replacement every 2-3 years and provide superior precision for timing functions.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming and water sports?
A: With 100 metres (10 ATM) of water resistance, this watch is suitable for swimming, showering, and recreational water activities. However, the chronograph pushers should not be operated underwater, and we do not recommend it for diving or high-impact water sports. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before water exposure.
Q: What is the function of the tachymetre scale on the bezel?
A: The tachymetre scale allows you to measure average speed over a known distance. Start the chronograph at the beginning of a measured kilometre, stop it at the end, and read your average speed in kilometres per hour directly from the bezel scale where the chronograph second hand points.
Q: Can the rubber strap be replaced or adjusted?
A: Yes, the 18mm rubber strap can be adjusted for size by our in-house team at Cassims & Co., and can also be replaced with alternative straps. We stock genuine Tissot replacement straps and can also fit compatible aftermarket options if you wish to personalise your watch.
Q: What do the sub-dials on the chronograph display?
A: The chronograph features three sub-dials: a 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock for timing longer intervals, a small running seconds display at 9 o'clock, and a 1/10th second counter at 6 o'clock for precise split-time measurements during racing or training.
Q: Does this watch come with 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 defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty card will be stamped and dated at the time of purchase.
Q: What is the significance of the rose gold-tone accents on this model?
A: The rose gold PVD-coated pushers and hands create a distinctive aesthetic contrast against the black case and dial, inspired by premium cycling components. This combination of materials—stainless steel, black ceramic, and rose gold accents—gives the watch a contemporary sporty-luxury character unique to the T-Race Cycling collection.
Warranty
- This Tissot T-Race Cycling watch is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised Tissot retailer.
- The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions, including movement malfunctions and manufacturing flaws in the case, dial, hands, or crystal.
- The warranty does not cover: normal wear and tear, scratches or cosmetic damage, battery replacement, water damage resulting from improper use or failure to ensure crown/pushers are secured, damage from accidents or impacts, unauthorised modifications or repairs, or damage from magnetic fields or extreme temperatures.
- To maintain warranty validity, any servicing or battery replacement must be performed by authorised Tissot service centres—unauthorised interventions will void the warranty.
- The rubber strap and buckle are considered wear items and are covered only for manufacturing defects, not normal deterioration from use.
- Water resistance is guaranteed only if the watch has not been opened by unauthorised personnel and seals remain intact—we recommend having water resistance tested annually if you regularly expose the watch to water.
- Your warranty card must be completed, stamped, and dated by Cassims & Co. at the time of purchase and presented with the original purchase receipt for any warranty claims.
- As an authorised Tissot dealer, Cassims & Co. will facilitate all warranty claims and provide guidance on covered repairs through official Tissot service channels.
Care Guide
- Avoid operating the chronograph pushers or crown when the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise water resistance.
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to chlorinated pools, salt water, or perspiration to prevent residue buildup on the case and strap.
- Clean the rubber strap periodically with mild soap and a soft brush to remove dirt and oils that accumulate with daily wear.
- Have the battery replaced by an authorised service centre when the watch stops or displays low battery indicators—typically every 2-3 years depending on chronograph usage.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or direct impact, which may affect the quartz movement's accuracy.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve the rubber strap's integrity and prevent dial fading.
- We recommend a complete service inspection every 4-5 years to verify water resistance seals and ensure the chronograph mechanism functions correctly.
- Polish the stainless steel case with a soft microfibre cloth to maintain its lustre, but avoid abrasive cleaners that may damage the PVD coating on the pushers.
- If the watch receives a significant impact or is exposed to water beyond its rated depth, bring it to Cassims & Co. immediately for pressure testing and seal inspection.
