Deep Blue Chronograph Dial
The blue dial gives reference T116.617.16.047.00 its distinctive visual identity.
Its rich colour adds personality while remaining versatile enough for everyday wear. The chronograph subdials reinforce the technical character of the watch, while large hour markers help preserve the strong readability expected from the Chrono XL family.
The dark blue background contrasts naturally with the stainless-steel case and warm brown leather strap, creating a sophisticated combination that feels sportier than a traditional dress watch without appearing overly aggressive.
This balance makes the Tissot Chrono XL Quartz Chronograph 45mm easy to wear with casual clothing, shirts, knitwear, jackets and other smart-casual combinations.
Bold 45mm 316L Stainless-Steel Case
The Tissot Chrono XL Quartz Chronograph 45mm features a round case manufactured from durable 316L stainless steel.
The official Tissot specifications confirm a 45mm diameter, making this a deliberately substantial watch intended for customers who appreciate strong wrist presence.
Despite its large proportions, the case retains the clean and balanced architecture associated with the Chrono XL range.
The stainless-steel finish also gives reference T116.617.16.047.00 a versatile appearance, allowing the blue dial and brown leather strap to provide the primary visual contrast.
For someone who enjoys larger modern chronographs, the Tissot Chrono XL Quartz Chronograph 45mm delivers unmistakable presence without relying on unnecessary decorative elements.
Scratch-Resistant Sapphire Crystal
Protecting the blue chronograph dial is a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, officially specified by Tissot for this reference.
Sapphire is highly valued in Swiss watchmaking because of its excellent resistance to scratches encountered during ordinary daily wear.
This is especially useful on a watch designed for frequent use, as the crystal helps preserve a clean and clear view of the dial over time.
Combined with the robust 316L stainless-steel construction, sapphire crystal reinforces the premium and practical character of the Tissot Chrono XL Quartz Chronograph 45mm.
Brown Leather Strap
Reference T116.617.16.047.00 is paired with a brown leather strap, giving this Chrono XL a noticeably different personality from steel-bracelet versions.
The brown leather introduces warmth and traditional character to the sporty 45mm architecture, creating a sophisticated contrast with the deep blue dial.
Tissot also specifies a quick-release interchangeable strap system, making compatible strap changes easier when a different look is desired.
The leather configuration also contributes to a significantly lighter overall feel than full-steel Chrono XL variants. Tissot lists this reference at approximately 75 grams.
Practical Chronograph Functionality
The Tissot Chrono XL Quartz Chronograph 45mm offers genuine chronograph functionality in addition to conventional everyday timekeeping.
A chronograph allows the wearer to measure elapsed periods directly from the wrist, giving the watch practical functionality beyond simply displaying the current time.
The quartz architecture makes chronograph operation precise and straightforward while avoiding the additional complexity and ownership requirements associated with a mechanical chronograph.
Together with its date indication, the watch provides the useful functions expected from a contemporary Swiss sports chronograph.
100m Water Resistance
The Tissot Chrono XL Quartz Chronograph 45mm is designed as a sports-oriented everyday watch and offers significantly more practical protection than a traditional dress watch.
Its construction provides 100 metres / 10 bar water resistance, giving the watch useful protection against everyday water exposure.
This capability complements the stainless-steel case and sapphire crystal, creating a well-rounded package for regular everyday use.
Because this particular reference uses a leather strap, however, avoiding unnecessary prolonged exposure of the strap to water will help preserve its appearance and longevity.
Tissot Chrono XL Collection
