Swiss Quartz Chronograph Precision
At the heart of the Tissot Chrono XL Quartz Chronograph 45mm is a precise Swiss quartz chronograph movement engineered for dependable everyday performance.

Distinctive Green Chronograph Dial
The green dial gives reference T116.617.36.097.00 its unmistakable personality.
Rather than choosing the more traditional black, silver or blue commonly found on sports chronographs, Tissot uses green to create a more individual appearance while retaining the versatility expected from an everyday watch.
The chronograph subdials reinforce the technical character of the design, while the combination of Arabic numerals and index markers maintains the excellent readability associated with the Chrono XL family.
The Tissot Chrono XL Quartz Chronograph 45mm therefore manages to feel distinctive without becoming difficult to style. Its green dial works particularly well with neutral colours, denim, earth tones and contemporary casual clothing.
Bold 45mm PVD-Coated Stainless-Steel Case
One of the defining characteristics of the Tissot Chrono XL Quartz Chronograph 45mm is its substantial case.
The official specifications for T116.617.36.097.00 confirm a 45mm diameter and a case manufactured from 316L stainless steel with PVD coating.
The darker PVD treatment gives this reference a more contemporary and understated appearance than a conventional polished stainless-steel Chrono XL.
At 45mm, the watch is intentionally substantial. It is designed for wearers who appreciate larger watches rather than those looking for a discreet traditional dress-watch profile.
The generous proportions also allow the chronograph information to remain clear and easy to read while giving the watch the strong wrist presence that defines the Chrono XL collection.
Scratch-Resistant Sapphire Crystal
Protecting the green dial is a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, another specification confirmed by Tissot for this reference.
Sapphire crystal is highly valued in Swiss watchmaking because of its excellent resistance to everyday scratches. This helps preserve a clear view of the dial and contributes to the long-term appearance of a watch intended for regular wear.
Combined with the robust stainless-steel construction, the sapphire crystal gives the Tissot Chrono XL Quartz Chronograph 45mm the durability expected from a modern Swiss sports chronograph.
Leather Strap and Sporty Character
Reference T116.617.36.097.00 is fitted with an adjustable leather strap, balancing the substantial dimensions of the 45mm case with a lighter and more traditional feel on the wrist. Tissot confirms the leather configuration for this exact model.
Leather provides an interesting contrast against the PVD-coated case and green dial, giving the watch a slightly more refined personality than an equivalent full-metal sports chronograph.
The result is a watch that works particularly well in casual and smart-casual environments, where the combination of sporty proportions and leather detailing creates a distinctive but versatile appearance.
Practical Everyday Performance
The Tissot Chrono XL Quartz Chronograph 45mm is more than a visually bold chronograph.
Its Swiss quartz movement provides the accuracy required for dependable everyday timekeeping, while the chronograph offers additional functionality whenever elapsed-time measurement is required.
The sapphire crystal adds valuable protection against scratches, and the case is designed to provide water resistance up to 10 bar / 100 metres / 330 feet, giving the watch useful protection against everyday water exposure.
These practical characteristics make reference T116.617.36.097.00 suitable for regular use rather than limiting it to occasional wear.
Tissot Chrono XL Collection
The Tissot Chrono XL Quartz Chronograph 45mm belongs to a family built around bold dimensions, chronograph functionality and strong contemporary styling.
The 45mm case is one of the collection’s defining characteristics. Tissot itself describes the Chrono XL as offering one of the largest cases within its collection, emphasising the intentionally substantial character of the watch.
Reference T116.617.36.097.00 adds an especially distinctive combination of a green dial, dark PVD-treated case and leather strap to that formula.

The watch is rated to 10 bar / 100 metres / 330 feet of water resistance.
Can I swim with the Tissot Chrono XL?
The watch itself carries a 100m water-resistance rating, providing meaningful protection against water exposure.
However, this reference uses a leather strap, and repeated immersion can shorten the life of leather. Avoiding unnecessary water exposure is therefore sensible if preserving the original strap is a priority.

Repeated exposure to hot water, steam and soaps is generally best avoided.
These conditions are unnecessary for the watch and can be particularly undesirable for the leather strap.

Wearers with smaller wrists who prefer discreet watches may find the 45mm case substantial, while those who enjoy oversized watches may appreciate its strong presence.
Is the 81g weight heavy?
For a 45mm chronograph, 81 grams is relatively manageable, helped by the leather strap rather than a full metal bracelet.
The exact feel will depend on wrist size and personal preference.
Can I wear the Tissot Chrono XL with a suit?
It can work with contemporary business clothing, although its size and chronograph dial make it sportier than a traditional dress watch.
The brown leather strap adds enough refinement to make this reference more versatile than some purely sporty configurations.

Not necessarily.
Green works particularly well with brown, beige, khaki, navy, grey, white, black and denim.
The brown leather strap makes the colour combination especially cohesive.

Generally, quartz movements provide better absolute everyday accuracy than conventional mechanical automatic movements.
This makes the Tissot Chrono XL Quartz Chronograph 45mm particularly appealing for someone who prioritises precision and convenience.

For many owners, yes.
Quartz eliminates the need for winding and maintaining a mechanical power reserve. Periodic battery replacement and normal servicing are still required.

The leather strap adds a more refined everyday character.
