Swiss Quartz Chronograph Precision
At the heart of the Tissot Chrono XL Quartz Chronograph 45mm is a Swiss quartz chronograph movement designed to provide accurate, dependable and convenient everyday performance.
The chronograph includes a 30-minute counter, 1/10-second counter and central 60-second chronograph hand, together with ADD and SPLIT functions. A practical date indication provides additional everyday functionality, while Tissot’s EOL – End of Life indicator alerts the wearer when the battery is approaching the end of its service life.
This combination makes the watch significantly more functional than a conventional three-hand quartz model while maintaining the convenience associated with battery-powered Swiss movements.
The Tissot Chrono XL Quartz Chronograph 45mm therefore offers a strong balance between sporty chronograph functionality and straightforward ownership.

Bold Black Dial with Gold-Tone Details
The black dial is one of the defining features of the Tissot Chrono XL Quartz Chronograph 45mm.
Large Arabic numeral hour markers provide excellent readability, while the gold-tone indexes and hands create a warm contrast against the dark background. Tissot also applies Super-LumiNova® to the hands, improving visibility when ambient light is reduced.
The chronograph subdials introduce the technical character expected from a sports chronograph without overwhelming the overall design.
This combination of black and gold gives reference T116.617.36.052.03 a distinctive personality. The watch remains sporty, but the warmer dial accents prevent it from appearing purely utilitarian.
Combined with the brown leather strap, the dial gives this Chrono XL a sophisticated appearance that works particularly well with casual, smart-casual and contemporary everyday clothing.
45mm Black PVD Stainless-Steel Case
The Tissot Chrono XL Quartz Chronograph 45mm is built around a substantial 45mm round case manufactured from 316L stainless steel and treated with a black PVD coating.
The official dimensions are 45mm in length, 45mm in width and 11.02mm in thickness, with a 22mm lug width. The complete watch weighs approximately 79g.
These dimensions give the Chrono XL its unmistakable wrist presence.
The 45mm diameter is deliberately bold and makes this model particularly appropriate for someone who prefers larger watches. However, the 11.02mm thickness remains relatively controlled for a chronograph of this diameter.
The black PVD treatment also creates a strong visual connection between the case and black dial, while the gold-tone dial elements and brown strap provide contrasting warmth.
Scratch-Resistant Sapphire Crystal
Protecting the dial of the Tissot Chrono XL Quartz Chronograph 45mm is a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
Sapphire offers excellent resistance against the scratches that can occur during normal everyday wear and is a particularly valuable feature on a watch intended for frequent use.
The combination of sapphire crystal and 316L stainless-steel construction gives the Chrono XL a practical level of durability while maintaining the premium character expected from a Swiss Made Tissot.
The crystal also provides a clear view of the detailed chronograph display and oversized Arabic numerals.
Brown Leather Strap
Reference T116.617.36.052.03 is fitted with an adjustable brown leather strap, creating a distinctive contrast with the black PVD case. Tissot specifies embossed cow leather on the front with a synthetic backing and a standard buckle closure.
The warm brown colour complements the gold-tone elements of the dial and softens the otherwise predominantly black appearance of the watch.
Tissot also equips this reference with a quick-release interchangeable strap system, making strap changes more convenient when a compatible alternative is used.
This combination gives the Tissot Chrono XL Quartz Chronograph 45mm considerably more versatility than its bold dimensions might initially suggest.
Advanced Chronograph Functions
The Tissot Chrono XL Quartz Chronograph 45mm is more than a visually sporty watch.
Its Swiss quartz movement provides genuine chronograph functionality, including timing through the central chronograph seconds hand and dedicated subdial counters.
The official functions include a 30-minute counter, 1/10-second counter, central 60-second chronograph hand and ADD and SPLIT timing functions.
The ADD function allows consecutive timing intervals to be accumulated, while the SPLIT function provides additional flexibility when measuring elapsed times.
These capabilities reinforce the sports-oriented character of the Chrono XL while maintaining the precision and ease of use associated with quartz technology.
Practical Date Display
Alongside its chronograph functions, the Tissot Chrono XL Quartz Chronograph 45mm includes a practical date indication.
The addition of the date makes the watch more useful as a genuine everyday timepiece rather than simply a dedicated chronograph.
Together with the quartz movement, EOL battery indicator and chronograph counters, it gives reference T116.617.36.052.03 a useful combination of functions without requiring the maintenance routine associated with a mechanical chronograph.
100m Water Resistance
One of the practical strengths of the Tissot Chrono XL Quartz Chronograph 45mm is its 10 bar / 100 metres / 330 feet water-resistance rating.
This is considerably more substantial than the 30m rating found on many traditional dress watches and reinforces the sports-oriented personality of the Chrono XL.
The increased water resistance gives the watch greater flexibility for everyday life and occasional exposure to water, although sensible care should still be taken with its leather strap.
Combined with sapphire crystal and stainless-steel construction, the 100m rating helps make the Chrono XL a robust everyday Swiss chronograph.
Tissot Chrono XL Collection
The Tissot Chrono XL Quartz Chronograph 45mm belongs to a family built around oversized dimensions, strong readability and sporty chronograph functionality.
Tissot describes the Chrono XL as one of the largest chronographs in its collection, with the 45mm case playing a central role in its distinctive identity.
Reference T116.617.36.052.03 gives that formula a particularly sophisticated appearance through its black PVD case, black dial, gold-tone details and brown leather strap.
The result is a watch with significant wrist presence that remains versatile enough to move beyond purely sporty environments.

Sporty Character with Everyday Versatility

The accurate Swiss quartz movement makes it easy to own, while the chronograph provides useful timing functionality. Sapphire crystal adds everyday scratch resistance, and the 100m water-resistance rating provides a reassuring level of practical protection.
Its black PVD case gives it a contemporary character, while the brown leather strap and gold-tone dial details introduce enough warmth to make the watch suitable for smart-casual environments.
For someone who prefers watches with a strong visual presence, this combination makes reference T116.617.36.052.03 particularly appealing.
