Description
The Tissot Carson Premium Chronograph T1224171603300 embodies the refined elegance that has defined Swiss watchmaking since 1853. This 41mm timepiece marries classical design with contemporary precision, featuring a striking silver sunray dial adorned with black Roman numerals and slender blue hands that sweep across three chronograph sub-dials. The double gardoon bezel frames the dial with an elegant curve, while a discreet date aperture positioned between 4 and 5 o'clock adds everyday practicality to this dress chronograph. Encased in polished stainless steel and finished with a black alligator-embossed leather strap, this watch transitions seamlessly from boardroom to evening occasion.
At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for Tissot in South Africa, ensuring every timepiece comes with full international warranty support and the assurance of genuine Swiss craftsmanship. The Carson Premium collection represents Tissot's commitment to accessible luxury—delivering Swiss-made chronograph functionality protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, all within a case diameter that suits a wide range of wrist sizes. The quartz movement ensures exceptional timekeeping accuracy with minimal maintenance, making this an ideal choice for the discerning gentleman who values both form and function.
This chronograph's silver dial catches light beautifully, creating subtle depth through its sunray finish, while the contrasting blue hands provide instant legibility. The three sub-dials offer 1/10th second, 30-minute, and 60-second chronograph totalizers, giving you precise elapsed time measurement for any activity. Water-resistant to 5 ATM (50 metres), this timepiece handles daily exposure to moisture with confidence, though it is not intended for swimming or diving. Visit us at our Mall of the South boutique to try it on in person and experience the weight and finishing that photographs cannot fully convey.

FAQ
Q: Is the Tissot Carson Premium Chronograph an automatic or quartz watch?
A: This model features a Swiss-made quartz chronograph movement, offering exceptional accuracy and low maintenance. Quartz movements require a battery change approximately every 2-3 years, which can be performed by our servicing team at Cassims & Co.
Q: What is the case size and will it suit my wrist?
A: The case measures 41mm in diameter, which is considered a versatile mid-size that suits most wrist sizes from 16cm to 20cm. The slim profile and curved lugs ensure it sits comfortably under a shirt cuff, making it ideal for formal and business wear.
Q: Can I wear this watch while swimming or showering?
A: With 5 ATM (50 metres) water resistance, this watch can handle splashes, rain, and brief immersion, but it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or water sports. The leather strap should also be kept dry to preserve its longevity.
Q: How do I operate the chronograph function?
A: The chronograph is operated via the two pushers flanking the crown. The top pusher starts and stops the chronograph, while the bottom pusher resets the hands to zero. The three sub-dials display elapsed seconds, minutes, and 1/10th of a second.
Q: What warranty does this Tissot watch come with?
A: As an authorised Tissot retailer, we provide the full 2-year international Tissot warranty from the date of purchase. This covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship when purchased from authorised dealers like Cassims & Co.
Q: Can I have the leather strap replaced if it wears out?
A: Yes, absolutely. We can supply genuine Tissot replacement straps or fit compatible premium leather straps to suit your preference. Our watch servicing team can also resize or adjust the strap for optimal fit.
Q: Is this watch suitable as a gift?
A: The Carson Premium Chronograph makes an excellent gift for graduations, promotions, anniversaries, or milestone birthdays. It comes beautifully presented in official Tissot packaging with all warranty documentation, and we offer complimentary gift wrapping at our Johannesburg showrooms.
Warranty
- This Tissot Carson Premium Chronograph is covered by a 2-year international Tissot warranty from the date of purchase.
- The warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Tissot retailer such as Cassims & Co.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover: normal wear and tear, scratches or cosmetic damage, battery replacement, damage resulting from accidents or misuse, water damage due to improper use or failure to have gaskets replaced during battery changes, unauthorised modifications or repairs, or damage caused by extreme conditions.
- To claim warranty service, present your original proof of purchase and warranty card at any authorised Tissot service centre.
- Cassims & Co. can facilitate warranty claims and provide guidance on authorised service centres in South Africa.
- After the warranty period expires, we offer comprehensive servicing, repairs, and battery replacements through our experienced workshop.
Care guide
- Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, lint-free cloth after wearing to remove perspiration, dust, and oils.
- Keep the leather strap dry. Avoid prolonged exposure to water, direct sunlight, and humidity to prevent premature ageing and discolouration.
- Store your watch in its original box or a dedicated watch case when not in use, away from magnetic fields (speakers, mobile phones, laptops).
- Have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker when the second hand begins to jump in 4-second intervals—this indicates low battery and prevents potential leakage damage.
- We recommend a complete service every 3-5 years, including movement cleaning, gasket replacement, and water-resistance testing, to maintain optimal performance.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature fluctuations, chemicals, perfumes, and solvents, which can damage seals and finishes.
- Do not operate the chronograph pushers or adjust the crown while the watch is underwater or wet, as this may compromise water resistance.
- The sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant but not shatterproof—avoid impacts against hard surfaces.
