Swiss Quartz Precision
The Tissot Gent XL Quartz 42mm is powered by a Swiss quartz three-hand movement designed for accurate, reliable and straightforward everyday ownership.

The movement provides hours, minutes, central seconds and a practical date indication. Tissot also equips the calibre with an EOL – End of Life battery indicator, which provides advance warning when the battery is approaching replacement.
This combination of simplicity and functionality is central to the appeal of the Tissot Gent XL Quartz 42mm.

Elegant Silver Dial
The silver dial gives reference T116.410.16.037.00 a classic and highly versatile personality.
Tissot uses Arabic numeral hour markers, creating a clear and easily readable layout while preserving the understated character of the watch. The metallic hands complement the silver background, while Super-LumiNova® applied to the hands improves visibility when ambient light is reduced.
Silver is one of the most adaptable dial colours in traditional watch design. It pairs naturally with business clothing, suits, neutral casual colours and the warm tone of the brown leather strap.
The result is a Tissot Gent XL Quartz 42mm that feels refined without becoming overly formal.
42mm 316L Stainless-Steel Case
The Tissot Gent XL Quartz 42mm features a round case manufactured from durable 316L stainless steel.
Official Tissot specifications list the case at 42mm in length and width, with a thickness of 8.90mm and a 22mm lug width.
These dimensions give the watch contemporary wrist presence while maintaining a surprisingly slim profile.
The 42mm diameter makes the Gent XL noticeably more substantial than a traditional dress watch, but the restrained thickness prevents it from feeling unnecessarily bulky.
This balance between modern dimensions and classic simplicity is one of the strongest characteristics of the Tissot Gent XL Quartz 42mm.
Scratch-Resistant Sapphire Crystal
Protecting the silver dial is a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
Sapphire is highly valued in Swiss watchmaking because of its excellent resistance to everyday scratching.
For a watch intended for frequent wear, this is an important practical advantage. It helps preserve the clarity of the dial and contributes to the long-term appearance of reference T116.410.16.037.00.
Together with the stainless-steel case, the sapphire crystal gives the Tissot Gent XL Quartz 42mm a durable foundation suitable for everyday ownership.
Brown Leather Strap
Reference T116.410.16.037.00 is fitted with a brown leather strap, giving this Gent XL a noticeably more traditional and refined character than full-steel versions.
Tissot specifies an alligator-style grained cowhide front, synthetic backing and a standard buckle closure. The strap measures 22mm at the lugs, matching the proportions of the 42mm case.
The brown leather introduces warmth to the silver-and-steel colour combination and makes the watch particularly easy to wear with professional and smart-casual clothing.
The leather configuration also helps keep the total weight to approximately 62 grams, making the watch comfortable for extended daily wear.
Practical Date Function
The Tissot Gent XL Quartz 42mm includes a practical date indication as one of the main functions of its Swiss quartz movement.
This adds useful everyday functionality without compromising the clean three-hand layout.
Rather than introducing chronograph counters or additional complications, the Gent XL concentrates on essential timekeeping and simple daily usability.
The restrained dial architecture is particularly appropriate for this silver-dial version, where clarity and elegance remain central to the design.
EOL Battery Indicator
Another practical advantage of the Tissot Gent XL Quartz 42mm is its EOL – End of Life battery indicator.
This feature provides a warning when the battery is nearing the end of its service life, allowing replacement to be arranged before the watch stops completely.
For a watch intended for straightforward everyday ownership, this small function adds meaningful convenience.
100m Water Resistance
The Tissot Gent XL Quartz 42mm offers 10 bar / 100 metres / 330 feet of water resistance.
This provides considerably more everyday protection than many traditional dress watches and reinforces the versatile character of the Gent XL.
Combined with its stainless-steel case and sapphire crystal, the 100m rating makes the watch suitable for a broad range of normal daily situations.
Because this particular reference uses a leather strap, however, avoiding unnecessary prolonged immersion will help preserve the appearance and longevity of the leather.
Tissot Gent XL Collection
The Tissot Gent XL Quartz 42mm belongs to Tissot’s Gent XL family, a collection built around contemporary proportions, clear readability and straightforward Swiss performance.
Tissot describes the Gent XL Classic as a sporty and trendy 42mm quartz watch designed to accommodate both contemporary and more classical tastes.
Reference T116.410.16.037.00 expresses the more traditional side of that philosophy through its silver dial and brown leather strap.
