Description
The Tissot Tradition Chronograph T063.617.16.057.00 is a masterclass in Swiss watchmaking restraint. This 42mm quartz chronograph balances classical design with contemporary wearability, housed in a polished 316L stainless steel case that frames a sunburst black dial. Three sub-dials — running seconds at 9 o'clock, 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock, and 1/10th second counter at 6 o'clock — provide full chronograph functionality, whilst the applied indices and dauphine hands lend an air of mid-century elegance. A date window at 4:30 completes the dial architecture.
The dial is protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, a hallmark of Swiss quality at this price point. The watch is powered by a Swiss quartz movement, offering accuracy and low-maintenance reliability — ideal for the wearer who values precision without the ritual of daily winding. Two polished chronograph pushers flank the signed crown, and the black embossed leather strap with contrasting white stitching adds a tailored finishing touch.
At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised Tissot retailer, ensuring every timepiece carries the full manufacturer's warranty and provenance.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or water sports?
A: No. With 50 metres (5 ATM) water resistance, the Tissot Tradition Chronograph is splash-resistant and suitable for everyday wear, but should not be worn whilst swimming, showering, or participating in water sports. The chronograph pushers must never be operated underwater.
Q: How often does the quartz movement require a battery change?
A: Typically, a Swiss quartz movement will run for 2–3 years on a single battery, depending on usage of the chronograph function. When a battery replacement is needed, we recommend having it changed by our authorised service centre to maintain water resistance integrity.
Q: Can I wear this watch in formal settings?
A: Absolutely. The Tradition Chronograph's classical dial layout, polished case, and leather strap make it an excellent choice for formal occasions, business meetings, or black-tie events. Its refined aesthetic pairs beautifully with suiting.
Q: What is the lug width for aftermarket straps?
A: The lug width for this 42mm Tradition Chronograph is typically 20mm, which is a standard size. This allows you to fit a wide variety of aftermarket leather or NATO straps should you wish to personalise your watch.
Q: Does this model come with a display case back?
A: No. As this watch is powered by a quartz movement rather than a mechanical calibre, it features a solid stainless steel case back. Display case backs are typically reserved for automatic movements where the movement finishing can be appreciated.
Q: Is this watch anti-magnetic?
A: Whilst quartz movements are generally less susceptible to magnetism than mechanical movements, Tissot does not specifically market this model as anti-magnetic. We recommend keeping the watch away from strong magnetic fields such as speakers or MRI equipment.
Q: Will the chronograph function drain the battery faster?
A: Yes, continuous use of the chronograph function will reduce battery life. For optimal battery longevity, reset the chronograph to zero when not actively timing an event.
Warranty
- This watch is covered by a 2-year international Tissot warranty from the date of purchase, valid when purchased from an authorised 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, battery replacement, glass or crystal damage, strap or bracelet wear, water damage resulting from misuse or failure to maintain water resistance seals, damage caused by accidents, impacts, improper use, or unauthorised servicing.
- To claim warranty service, the original purchase receipt and completed warranty card must be presented.
- Warranty service must be performed by an authorised Tissot service centre. Unauthorised repairs or modifications will void the warranty.
- The warranty does not extend the original 2-year period following repair or replacement of components.
Care guide
- Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, lint-free cloth after wear to remove fingerprints and perspiration.
- Clean the leather strap occasionally with a lightly dampened cloth. Avoid soaking the strap, as excessive moisture can damage the leather and stitching.
- Do not operate the chronograph pushers or crown when the watch is wet, as this may compromise water resistance.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, solvents, chemicals, or strong magnetic fields.
- Have the battery replaced by an authorised service centre when the watch stops or the seconds hand begins jumping in multi-second intervals.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. A watch box or pouch is ideal.
- We recommend a water resistance pressure test every 2–3 years if the watch is regularly exposed to moisture, though this model is not designed for aquatic use.
- Service the movement every 4–5 years to ensure longevity and optimal performance, including cleaning, lubrication, and gasket replacement.
