Tissot Chronographs

Tissot Chronographs – Swiss Watches with Stopwatch Functions

A chronograph combines conventional timekeeping with a stopwatch function. Depending on the model, Tissot chronographs can measure elapsed seconds, minutes and fractions of a second using dedicated counters and pushers. The precise functions, movement and design vary between collections and references.

Tissot chronographs are available in different styles for women and men. Current models at Zeitlounge include PR 100 chronographs for both, alongside men’s chronographs from collections such as Supersport, PRX and Seastar. Materials and specifications vary by reference, so features such as case size, strap or bracelet, water resistance and movement should be compared at model level.

Tissot Chronographs for Women

The current Zeitlounge PR 100 range includes several chronographs for women. These quartz chronographs combine compact proportions with the additional timing functions of a chronograph and are available in different colours and finishes. Depending on the reference, options include stainless steel cases and bracelets, PVD finishes and different dial designs.

Selected PR 100 chronographs use scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. Rather than being a feature unique to women’s models, sapphire crystal is used across numerous Tissot chronographs and provides greater scratch resistance than conventional mineral glass. The exact crystal specification should nevertheless be checked for the individual reference.

Tissot Chronographs for Men

Tissot’s men’s chronographs cover both classic and sport-oriented designs. The current Zeitlounge selection includes quartz models such as the PR 100, Supersport Chrono and Seastar 1000 Chronograph as well as the PRX Automatic Chronograph with a self-winding mechanical movement.

Water resistance varies considerably between models. For example, current Seastar 1000 Chronographs are water-resistant to a pressure of 30 bar (300 m) and feature a screw-down crown and pushers. Other Tissot chronographs are designed for less demanding conditions and have different water-resistance ratings, making the specifications of the individual model an important consideration.

Quartz and Automatic Tissot Chronographs

Tissot chronographs are available with both quartz and automatic movements. Quartz chronographs use a battery-powered movement and are particularly suitable for customers who value precise timekeeping with minimal day-to-day maintenance. Automatic chronographs use a mechanical movement that is wound by the motion of the wearer’s wrist and do not require a battery to power the movement.

The two movement types also differ in their timekeeping characteristics. Quartz movements are generally more accurate than mechanical automatic movements, while an automatic chronograph offers the construction and operation of a traditional mechanical calibre. Rather than one being inherently better than the other, the choice depends on whether precision and convenience or mechanical watchmaking is the greater priority.

Features of Tissot Chronographs

The precise specifications vary by collection and reference. Depending on the model, Tissot chronographs may offer:

• Swiss quartz or automatic chronograph movements
• stopwatch functions for measuring elapsed time
• scratch-resistant sapphire crystal
• 316L stainless steel cases
• stainless steel bracelets and leather, rubber or silicone straps
• different chronograph counters and timing functions

Tissot Seastar, PR 100, Supersport and PRX Chronographs

The different Tissot chronograph collections provide distinct options. PR 100 includes chronographs for women and men with versatile, understated styling. Supersport Chrono offers a more overtly sporting design, while the Seastar 1000 Chronograph combines chronograph functions with specifications developed for water sports. Current Seastar 1000 Chronographs are available in different sizes and are water-resistant to 30 bar (300 m).

For customers who prefer a mechanical chronograph, the current Zeitlounge selection also includes the PRX Automatic Chronograph. It combines the distinctive integrated-bracelet design associated with the PRX collection with a Swiss automatic chronograph movement.
