Swiss Quartz Precision
At the heart of the Tissot Carson Quartz 40mm is the Swiss ETA 805.112 quartz movement, designed to provide precise and reliable everyday timekeeping.
The movement powers the hours, minutes and central seconds together with a practical date indication. Its quartz architecture makes ownership straightforward, eliminating the need for the regular winding associated with traditional mechanical watches.
This makes the Tissot Carson Quartz 40mm particularly appealing to someone who appreciates traditional Swiss design but prefers the convenience and accuracy of quartz technology.
The watch can simply be picked up and worn whenever required, making it equally suitable as an everyday professional watch or a refined option for special occasions.

Classic White Dial
The white dial is one of the defining features of the Tissot Carson Quartz 40mm.
This particular reference uses elegant Arabic numeral hour markers, giving the watch a more traditional personality while maintaining excellent readability. The clean white background creates a sophisticated contrast with the warm gold-tone case and matching dial details.
The uncomplicated layout reflects the classic character of the Carson collection. Instead of filling the dial with unnecessary functions, Tissot concentrates on clear timekeeping and timeless proportions.
A discreet date display introduces everyday practicality while preserving the balanced aesthetic.
This combination gives the Tissot Carson Quartz 40mm an enduring appearance that works naturally with formal clothing, business attire and sophisticated smart-casual outfits.
40mm Gold-Tone PVD Case
The Tissot Carson Quartz 40mm features a stainless-steel case finished with a warm gold-tone PVD coating.
Measuring approximately 40mm in diameter, the case provides enough wrist presence for contemporary tastes without becoming oversized.
Its approximately 8.35mm thickness is particularly important to the character of the watch. The slim profile allows the Carson to sit close to the wrist and slide comfortably beneath a shirt cuff.
These proportions make the Tissot Carson Quartz 40mm especially suitable for professional and formal environments where a large, thick sports watch may feel inappropriate.
The PVD finish also adds warmth to the otherwise traditional stainless-steel construction, creating an elegant visual connection between the case, white dial and brown leather strap.
Scratch-Resistant Sapphire Crystal
Protecting the dial of the Tissot Carson Quartz 40mm is a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
Sapphire is highly valued in Swiss watchmaking because of its excellent resistance to the scratches commonly encountered during regular wear.
For an elegant watch such as the Carson, this is an especially useful feature. The crystal helps maintain a clear view of the white dial while preserving the polished appearance of the watch over time.
Combined with the durable stainless-steel case, sapphire crystal gives this refined model the practical protection expected from a quality Swiss Made timepiece.
Brown Leather Strap
Reference T085.410.36.012.00 is paired with a classic brown leather strap.
Brown leather works naturally with the warm gold-tone case while providing an elegant contrast against the crisp white dial.
The approximately 19mm lug width keeps the strap visually proportional to the 40mm case, maintaining the balanced appearance that defines the Carson.
Leather also reinforces the traditional dress-watch personality of the Tissot Carson Quartz 40mm. Compared with a stainless-steel bracelet, it creates a softer and more formal appearance that works particularly well with tailored clothing.
The combination of brown leather, white dial and warm PVD case gives this reference its distinctive character.
Practical Date Display
The Tissot Carson Quartz 40mm combines traditional three-hand timekeeping with a useful date function.
For an everyday watch, the date display provides practical information without adding unnecessary visual complexity to the dial.
This restrained approach suits the Carson perfectly.
Rather than attempting to compete with complicated sports watches, the model concentrates on the functions most owners genuinely use: accurate hours, minutes, seconds and date.
Together with the Swiss quartz movement, this makes reference T085.410.36.012.00 particularly easy to own and wear regularly.
Slim and Comfortable Everyday Design
One of the strongest features of the Tissot Carson Quartz 40mm is its relatively slim construction.
At approximately 8.35mm thick, it remains considerably more discreet on the wrist than many contemporary sports watches and chronographs.
The 40mm diameter provides enough size to maintain a modern presence, while the thin profile prevents the watch from feeling bulky.
This balance makes the Carson particularly comfortable during longer periods of wear and allows it to transition naturally between professional environments and evening occasions.
For someone looking for a watch that can accompany a full working day and continue into dinner or a formal event, these proportions are particularly effective.
30m Water Resistance
The Tissot Carson Quartz 40mm offers 3 bar / 30 metres of water resistance.
This level of protection is appropriate for a traditional dress-oriented watch and provides resistance against light accidental exposure to water during normal daily use.
The Carson is not designed as a swimming or diving watch. Instead, Tissot prioritises slim proportions, refined styling and everyday elegance.
Owners should also remember that the brown leather strap is best protected from unnecessary exposure to water.
Tissot Carson Collection
The Tissot Carson Quartz 40mm belongs to a collection defined by classical Swiss styling and restrained elegance.
Rather than following short-term design trends, the Carson family focuses on traditional proportions, clean dials and versatile configurations that remain appropriate across different occasions.
Reference T085.410.36.012.00 expresses that philosophy through its white Arabic-numeral dial, slim gold-tone PVD case and brown leather strap.
It is an elegant alternative to the more technical sports watches in the Tissot catalogue and an attractive choice for someone who prioritises sophistication and timeless design.

Its 40mm stainless-steel case, slim 8.35mm profile and warm PVD finish create refined proportions, while the white dial with Arabic numerals provides excellent clarity and traditional character.
The Swiss ETA quartz movement delivers precise, convenient everyday timekeeping, while sapphire crystal adds valuable scratch resistance. A practical date function improves usability, and the brown leather strap completes the classic dress-watch aesthetic.
