The Tissot Tradition Quartz ref. T063.610.36.038.00 exemplifies Swiss watchmaking heritage in a refined 42mm dress watch silhouette. This timepiece combines classic design codes — a textured ivory dial with applied Roman numerals at XII and VI, polished baton hour markers, and a discreet date window at 3 o'clock — with contemporary materials, featuring a stainless steel case treated with rose gold PVD coating for warm lustre and enhanced durability. The domed sapphire crystal lens accentuates the dial's guilloché centre while providing scratch resistance, and the brown embossed leather strap with its alligator-style texture adds sophistication suited to both boardroom and evening wear.
Powering this Tradition model is the Swiss-made ETA F06.111 quartz calibre, delivering exceptional accuracy and low-maintenance reliability with a typical battery life of several years. The 30-metre water resistance ensures protection against daily splashes, while the deployment clasp provides secure, comfortable wear. At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised Tissot dealer, ensuring every watch comes with full manufacturer backing and our dedicated after-sales support including battery replacement, strap adjustments, and professional guidance.
Founded in Le Locle, Switzerland in 1853, Tissot has earned its reputation as an innovator of quality timepieces accessible to discerning watch enthusiasts. The Tradition collection pays homage to the brand's 170-year archive while integrating modern Swiss quartz precision. The rose gold PVD treatment on this reference provides a luxurious aesthetic that resists tarnishing far better than plating, maintaining its warm hue through years of wear. This versatility makes the T063.610.36.038.00 equally appropriate with tailored suiting or smart-casual attire.

FAQ
Q: Is this Tissot Tradition watch suitable for everyday wear?
A: Absolutely. The Swiss quartz movement offers exceptional reliability and accuracy with minimal maintenance, while the 30-metre water resistance protects against hand-washing and rain exposure. The rose gold PVD coating is highly durable and resists scratching better than traditional plating, making this watch ideal for daily professional and casual wear.
Q: What is the difference between PVD coating and standard gold plating?
A: PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) is a superior coating process that bonds rose gold material at the molecular level to the stainless steel case. Unlike electroplating, PVD creates an extremely hard, wear-resistant finish that maintains its colour and lustre for many years without tarnishing or rubbing off, even with regular wear.
Q: How often will I need to replace the battery in this quartz watch?
A: The ETA F06.111 quartz movement typically provides 3-4 years of battery life under normal use. When replacement is needed, visit Cassims & Co. and our watchmakers will fit a genuine replacement cell and pressure-test the case seals to maintain water resistance integrity.
Q: Can I wear this watch while swimming or showering?
A: With 30 metres of water resistance, this Tradition model is splash-proof and suitable for hand-washing and light rain, but it is not designed for swimming, showering, or submersion. For aquatic activities, we recommend a watch with minimum 100-metre water resistance from our sports collection.
Q: Is the leather strap replaceable, and what size is it?
A: Yes, the strap uses standard spring bars and can be replaced with any quality 21mm leather or compatible strap. Cassims & Co. stocks a selection of replacement straps and our team can fit them complimentary with purchase. The deployment clasp ensures secure, comfortable wear and eliminates the daily stress on the leather that traditional tang buckles cause.
Q: Does this watch come with an international warranty?
A: Yes, as authorised Tissot retailers, every watch purchased from Cassims & Co. includes a full 2-year international manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty card will be stamped and dated at purchase, and is honoured at authorised Tissot service centres worldwide.
Q: What is the lug-to-lug measurement, and will it suit a smaller wrist?
A: While Tissot does not publish the exact lug-to-lug dimension for this reference, the 42mm case diameter with its relatively short lugs and curved case profile typically wears comfortably on wrists from 16cm upwards. We invite you to visit our Mall of the South boutique to try the watch on and assess the fit personally before purchase.
Warranty
- Warranty Period: This Tissot Tradition watch is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase.
- Warranty Coverage: The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions. This includes manufacturing faults in the movement, case, crystal, hands, dial, and original strap or bracelet.
- Warranty Exclusions: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, scratches, dents, or cosmetic damage to the case, crystal, or strap. Battery replacement, routine servicing, and bracelet/strap adjustments are not covered. Damage resulting from accidents, improper use, unauthorised modifications, or water damage due to misuse (operating crown underwater, exceeding stated water resistance) is excluded.
- Authorised Retailer Requirement: This warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Tissot retailer such as Cassims & Co. The warranty card must be completed, stamped, and dated at the time of purchase.
- Claim Process: Should a warranty claim be necessary, return the watch to Cassims & Co. with the original warranty card and proof of purchase. We will assess the timepiece and liaise directly with Tissot's authorised service centre on your behalf.
- International Validity: The Tissot warranty is honoured at authorised service centres worldwide, providing peace of mind for international travel and relocation.
- After-Warranty Service: Once the warranty period expires, Cassims & Co. continues to provide professional battery replacement, servicing, and repair services for your Tissot timepiece at competitive rates.
Care Guide
- Daily Care: Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, lint-free cloth after wear to remove perspiration, dust, and oils that can dull the finish over time.
- Leather Strap Maintenance: Avoid prolonged water exposure, perfumes, and cosmetics that can stain or dry the leather. Allow the strap to dry naturally if it becomes damp, and consider rotating with a second strap to extend longevity.
- Water Resistance: Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet or submerged. Have water resistance tested annually if you frequently expose the watch to moisture, as gasket seals degrade over time.
- Crown Care: When setting the time or date, pull the crown gently and return it to the pushed-in position firmly to maintain the case seal. Avoid setting the date between 9pm and 3am when the mechanism is engaged.
- Storage: When not wearing the watch, store it in a cool, dry location away from magnetic fields (speakers, laptops, magnetic clasps) which can affect quartz movement accuracy.
- Professional Servicing: While quartz watches require less frequent servicing than mechanical models, we recommend a complete service every 5-7 years including movement cleaning, lubrication, gasket replacement, and water resistance testing.
- PVD Coating Care: Although PVD is highly durable, avoid impact against hard surfaces and abrasive materials. Clean the rose gold coating with mild soapy water and a soft brush if necessary, then dry thoroughly.
- Avoid: Extended exposure to extreme temperatures, strong chemicals, solvents, or prolonged direct sunlight which can affect both the movement and strap materials.
