Tissot Men’s 40mm Chronograph Watch (T150.417.22.031.00)

A silver-dialled Tissot chronograph, 40 mm across. Case and Wrist Presence The 40 mm case is finished in two tone gold silver and shaped round, with a plain bezel that keeps the eye on the dial. A classic size that sits comfortably under a cuff without crowding a narrower wrist.. The lugs are short enough that the case does not overhang a narrower wrist even at this diameter. Dial and Legibility Three sub-dials sit on the silver face for the chronograph functions, alongside stick markers and a date window. The layout is busy by design but the silver background keeps it readable. In low light the polished edges of the markers still catch what light there is, which helps more than raw brightness would. Movement and Functions The movement is quartz, which keeps the chronograph’s timing simple and the running cost low. Press the top pusher to start and stop it, the lower one to reset. There is no mainspring to wind and no automatic rotor to keep moving through wear, which is the whole appeal of quartz at this price point. Bracelet and Fit The bracelet can be sized by a jeweller removing or adding links, which is the only way to get an exact fit on a metal band. Who This Watch Suits It suits a wrist that wants a bit of function on the dial – a stopwatch you might actually use – without the size or price of a dedicated sports chronograph. Care and Maintenance Have the battery changed by a watchmaker rather than a kiosk; a proper change reseats the case seals at the same time, which is what actually protects it from moisture. Keep it away from strong magnets and out of direct heat. About the Brand Tissot has been making watches in Switzerland since 1853, and the name on this dial reflects that: a Swiss Made watch built to an established, unfussy standard rather than a fashion cycle.
