Tissot Men's T17.1.486.55 PRS200 Chronograph Watch

The black dial includes three black chronograph subdials, large luminous dauphine hands (with seconds hand) and hour markers, and an automatic date calendar at 4 o'clock. The silver stainless steel bracelet band offers links of mixed brushed and polished finishes, and it's joined by a double-locking clasp for extra security. Other features include a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and a screw-down crown and caseback for water resistance to 200 meters (660 feet)--suitable for scuba diving.

About Tissot
For more than 150 years, Tissot has embodied the innovation and tradition of Swiss watch-making. Based in the Neuchâtel area of the Jura Mountains, in Le Locle, Switzerland, Charles-Félicien Tissot and his son Charles-Emile created the watch making company Tissot in 1853. Whether in the technology of its movements, in the research for special materials or in the very functions of the watch itself, Tissot's engineers and watchmakers have developed pioneering timepieces over the years. A member of the Swatch Group since 1985, Tissot watches are available in over 140 countries around the world.

Tissot uses the best movements (from ETA SA Manufacture Horlogère Suisse), the highest quality materials (316L steel, 18K gold, titanium) and scratchproof glasses (sapphire crystal--at least 2500 Vickers). The company's timepieces have also been chosen as official timekeepers for world championships in cycling, motorcycling, fencing and ice hockey.

4. Rotating bezel dial.

The quality of the chain is A Grade and when gets dirty can be washed with warm water and soft detergent. The shine remains same for years. I have tried Tag Heur, Fossil, and DKNY but honestly I find this best. Nobody in the Swiss industry can beat the value for product, which only Tissot can give.

This is a great buy as you can always compare the features with a lot expensive watches. Moreover, Tissot is any day better than brands like Swatch, Esprit, and Fossil. The company which has been in watch making business since 1853 cannot be wrong or just average, it has to be cut above the rest and that what exactly Tissot is, and it is proved by the quality of PRS200.

This is a great watch, I had the past model for 28 years and used it everyday. Swimming, scuba diving, nmountainbike riding, 28 years on my arm. A month ago it finally gave up and I asked for the exact model equivalent to the one I had, I was refered to this one, so I bought it and I'm expecting to use it for other 28 years.

I've had this watch for nearly 4 years now and it has been very reliable and has remained water resistant for all this time. I highly recomend this watch but I also recomend that you select your watch in person.


A Real Timepiece   December 17, 2003

I received a PRS 200 for a gift about two years ago. The crystal is great and has taken more abuse than a watch of this price should sustain. Needless to say, no scratches. The heft puts a smile on my face every morning when I put it on. I had an occasion to ding a chronograph button from very rough treatment - my dealer took VERY good care of me and Tissot squared everything away at no cost. I can't say enough about these watches. I plan on getting another Tissot soon, this time in gold finish. Forget Breitlings, and get a real timepiece for at least 1/4 the price.

Have had this watch for the past 4 years, it's still beautiful and fits the perfect role of an everyday watch that isn't so fancy you're scared of wearing it but not so cheap looking you feel like a 10 year old. I agree with the other reviewer in that you should go see all watches in person, especially since there are many different styles within just this prs-200 model, I myself have a white face with blue circles.
