Tissot Men’s Chronograph 45mm Black Watch (T131.617.36.052.00)

The Tissot T131.617.36.052.00 puts substantial presence on the wrist, built around a black black pvd case and a black dial. It measures 45 mm across. Case and Wrist Presence \n This is a 45 mm case, worked in black pvd. The black finish runs uninterrupted around the case. At 45 mm it reads as a statement piece without becoming unwearable, and suits a wrist of roughly 17 cm upwards. \n Reading the Dial \n A black dial sits behind the crystal. Dial and case share the same tone, so the watch reads as one machined object rather than an assembly of parts. The hours are marked with arabic. \n Chronograph registers are recessed into the dial, which adds depth to the face without crowding the hour track. \n Movement and Functions \n A quartz movement drives the watch. That means accuracy which needs no daily attention, no winding routine, and no rate drift to correct. \n \n Chronograph – stopwatch timing from the dial \n Date display – the current date at a glance \n \n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n The strap is black leather. Leather softens and takes the shape of the wrist over the first few weeks, and it is the easiest material to replace later if you want a different look. \n Who This Watch Suits \n \n An everyday wrist size that still reads as a proper men’s watch \n Building a black-led accessory wardrobe \n Anyone who will actually use a stopwatch – or simply wants the busier dial that comes with one \n Smart-casual dressing, where a bracelet would read too heavy \n Gift buyers looking for something recognisable, boxed and properly warranted \n \n Styling Notes \n Black is the easiest colour to place. It disappears into formal dressing and sharpens casual dressing, and it never fights whatever else you are wearing. The leather strap pulls the whole watch towards smart-casual – it will look right with a jacket and wrong with a wetsuit. \n Care and Maintenance \n A watch at this level rewards very little maintenance, but the little it asks for makes the difference between one that still looks sharp in five years and one that does not. Have the battery replaced by a watchmaker rather than a kiosk – a proper service reseats the case gasket at the same time, which is what actually preserves the water rating. A flat battery left in the case is the single most common cause of avoidable movement damage. Leather and water are a poor combination: a soaked strap stiffens and cracks as it dries. Let it breathe between wears and it will last years rather than months. \n Store it away from magnets and out of direct heat, and it will hold its rate and its finish. \n About the Brand and Ownership \n Tissot watches sit in the sweet spot between fashion and function: recognisable design, real build quality, and a price that does not ask you to think of the watch as an investment. Quartz keeps the running costs near zero – a battery every few years and the occasional seal check is the whole of the maintenance schedule. Kept out of direct heat, away from magnets and wiped down after a sweaty day, a watch like this will outlast several phones. \n The Short Version \n What you are getting is an everyday size that still has presence, a chronograph dial with enough going on to hold your eye. A leather strap that softens the whole thing rounds it out. It is not trying to be a heirloom piece and it does not price itself like one. It is a well-made, recognisable watch that does the job every day and looks considered doing it. \n Technical Specifications \n \n Attribute Specification \n Brand Tissot \n Model / Reference T131.617.36.052.00 \n Gender Men’s (45 mm case) \n EAN 7611608299401 \n Case Diameter 45 mm \n Case Material Black pvd \n Case Colour Black \n Dial Colour Black \n Dial Markers Arabic \n Movement Quartz \n Strap / Bracelet Leather \n Strap Colour Black \n Warranty 24 months \n \n Buying With Confidence \n Buying a watch online comes down to trusting the seller, so here is exactly what you get.
