Tissot PR 100 Tour De France Quartz Chronograph 40mm
The Tissot PR 100 Tour De France Quartz Chronograph 40mm celebrates one of cycling’s most legendary competitions through a distinctive Swiss Made chronograph created for enthusiasts of both precision watchmaking and professional cycling. Reference T150.417.11.051.00 transforms the versatile PR 100 into a Tour de France-inspired timepiece, combining a textured black dial, signature yellow details and practical chronograph functionality.
Its character is immediately recognisable. Tissot gives the black dial an asphalt-grained texture inspired by the road beneath the cyclists, while the central chronograph seconds hand incorporates a bicycle-shaped detail in the iconic yellow associated with the Tour de France. Even the date window uses a black disc to preserve the dark, performance-oriented aesthetic.
Beneath the cycling-inspired design is a serious everyday specification. A 40mm 316L stainless-steel case houses a Swiss quartz chronograph movement, while scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and 10 bar / 100 metres water resistance provide the durability expected from the PR 100 family.

Swiss Quartz Chronograph Precision
At the heart of the Tissot PR 100 Tour De France Quartz Chronograph 40mm is Tissot’s G10.212 Swiss quartz chronograph movement, engineered to provide accurate timekeeping together with practical elapsed-time measurement.
The chronograph offers a central 60-second chronograph hand, 30-minute counter and 1/10-second counter, together with ADD and SPLIT functions. These capabilities give the watch considerably greater functionality than the standard three-hand PR 100 models.
The movement also incorporates a practical date indication and EOL – End of Life battery indicator, providing advance warning when the battery is approaching replacement.
Tissot specifies a Renata 394 battery, a calibre size of 13¼”’ and a movement diameter of approximately 29.8mm.
Quartz technology makes this special PR 100 particularly convenient for regular wear, providing excellent precision without the winding requirements or power-reserve considerations of a mechanical chronograph.

Tour De France Asphalt-Grained Black Dial
The dial is where the Tissot PR 100 Tour De France Quartz Chronograph 40mm truly separates itself from a conventional PR 100.
Rather than using a standard smooth black finish, Tissot gives the dial an asphalt-grained texture inspired directly by the road surface beneath the riders of the Tour de France.
The result is subtle enough to remain sophisticated but distinctive enough to immediately give reference T150.417.11.051.00 its own identity.
The dial uses index hour markers and multiple chronograph displays without losing the balanced proportions associated with the PR 100 collection.
Tissot also uses a black date disc, allowing the date window to integrate naturally into the dark dial instead of creating unnecessary visual contrast.
Iconic Yellow Bicycle Chronograph Hand
One of the most distinctive elements of the Tissot PR 100 Tour De France Quartz Chronograph 40mm is its central chronograph seconds hand.
Tissot incorporates the instantly recognisable yellow colour of the Tour de France, while the hand itself features a clever bicycle-shaped design detail.
Against the asphalt-grained black dial, the yellow accent creates a strong visual connection to professional cycling without overwhelming the overall design.
It is a small detail, but one that transforms the personality of the watch.
Instead of simply adding Tour de France branding to an existing model, Tissot integrates the identity of the race directly into the functional chronograph display.
Super-LumiNova® Visibility
Tissot applies Super-LumiNova® to the needle-shaped hands of the watch, improving visibility when ambient lighting conditions become reduced.
This is particularly appropriate for a sports-inspired chronograph, where clear and immediate readability remains important.
The luminous treatment works alongside the strong contrast between the black dial, metallic indexes and yellow Tour de France details to maintain excellent visual definition.
40mm 316L Stainless-Steel Case
The Tissot PR 100 Tour De France Quartz Chronograph 40mm is housed inside a round 316L stainless-steel case.
Official Tissot specifications list the case at 40mm in length and 40mm in width, with a thickness of 11.26mm and a 20mm lug width. The complete watch weighs approximately 135 grams.
The 40mm dimensions provide an excellent balance for a modern chronograph.
It has enough presence to accommodate the additional chronograph displays without becoming excessively large, while the 11.26mm thickness remains relatively controlled considering the additional movement functionality.
The stainless-steel construction also reinforces the sporting character of the model while maintaining enough refinement for everyday and smart-casual wear.
Scratch-Resistant Sapphire Crystal
Protecting the Tour de France-inspired dial is a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
Sapphire provides excellent resistance against the scratches and surface marks that can develop during everyday wear.
For a sports-inspired watch designed to be worn regularly, this is an important practical advantage.
It helps protect not only the dial itself but also the distinctive asphalt texture and Tour de France details that give reference T150.417.11.051.00 its unique visual identity.
Engraved Tour De France Caseback
The cycling theme continues on the reverse of the watch.
Tissot equips reference T150.417.11.051.00 with a specially engraved caseback featuring the iconic Tour de France logo.
This provides an additional element of identity that is more discreet than the dial details but equally important to the character of the model.
The engraving transforms the caseback into part of the overall Tour de France concept rather than leaving the association entirely on the dial.
For cycling enthusiasts and collectors, this is one of the details that makes the model significantly more distinctive than a standard PR 100 Chronograph.
Three-Row Stainless-Steel Bracelet
The Tissot PR 100 Tour De France Quartz Chronograph 40mm is supplied on a three-row stainless-steel bracelet.
The bracelet uses a butterfly clasp with push-buttons, creating a secure closure while maintaining a clean appearance around the wrist.
Tissot also equips the bracelet with an interchangeable quick-release system, making removal considerably easier when changing between the supplied bracelet and alternative strap.
The full steel configuration gives the watch a substantial, sporty character and contributes to its official weight of approximately 135g.
Additional Tour De France Strap Included
A particularly important feature of reference T150.417.11.051.00 is that Tissot includes a second black bi-material strap with the watch.
This is not simply a generic alternative strap.
Its texture takes inspiration from bicycle handlebar grips, while Tour de France-related colours reinforce the cycling theme.
The additional strap gives the Tissot PR 100 Tour De France Quartz Chronograph 40mm two noticeably different personalities.
The stainless-steel bracelet provides a more traditional and versatile Swiss chronograph appearance, while the black bi-material strap creates a sportier configuration with an even stronger connection to cycling.
Combined with the quick-release system, switching between the two configurations is considerably more convenient.
100m Water Resistance
Despite its special-edition styling, the Tissot PR 100 Tour De France Quartz Chronograph 40mm retains the practical durability expected from the PR 100 family.
The watch is water resistant to 10 bar / 100 metres / 330 feet.
This provides meaningful everyday protection and contributes to the watch’s versatile sports-oriented character.
Combined with the 316L stainless-steel case and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, the 100m rating creates a robust foundation suitable for regular everyday wear.
Tissot PR 100 Collection
The Tissot PR 100 Tour De France Quartz Chronograph 40mm takes the familiar versatility of the PR 100 and introduces a much stronger sporting identity.
The collection’s clean proportions and robust everyday construction provide the foundation, while this Tour de France edition introduces the asphalt-inspired dial, cycling-themed yellow chronograph hand, engraved caseback and additional handlebar-inspired strap.
The result is a model that remains recognisably PR 100 while possessing a personality entirely its own.

A Swiss Chronograph Inspired by Cycling
The Tissot PR 100 Tour De France Quartz Chronograph 40mm succeeds because its connection to cycling goes considerably deeper than simple branding.
The asphalt-grained black dial references the road. The yellow bicycle-shaped chronograph hand celebrates the visual identity of the Tour de France. The engraved caseback provides a permanent connection to the competition, while the additional black bi-material strap draws inspiration from bicycle handlebar grips.
At the same time, reference T150.417.11.051.00 remains a genuinely practical Swiss Made chronograph.
Its G10.212 quartz movement provides precise chronograph functionality, while the 40mm stainless-steel case, sapphire crystal and 100m water resistance create a robust specification suitable for regular use.
For cycling enthusiasts, Tour de France followers or anyone searching for a Swiss chronograph with a distinctive sporting story, the Tissot PR 100 Tour De France Quartz Chronograph 40mm offers something genuinely different from the standard PR 100.
Who Is the Tissot PR 100 Tour De France For?
The Tissot PR 100 Tour De France is designed for someone who wants more than a conventional Swiss chronograph. It combines the everyday versatility of the PR 100 collection with distinctive details inspired by one of the world’s most celebrated cycling competitions.
Reference T150.417.11.051.00 is particularly appealing to cycling enthusiasts and Tour de France followers, but its design remains restrained enough to work as an everyday watch. The asphalt-grained black dial, yellow bicycle-inspired chronograph hand and engraved caseback give the model a unique identity without compromising its versatility.
Its Swiss G10.212 quartz chronograph movement also makes the watch suitable for anyone who prioritises precision and straightforward ownership. Chronograph functionality, date indication, ADD and SPLIT functions and an EOL battery indicator provide meaningful everyday functionality.
With its balanced 40mm stainless-steel case, sapphire crystal and 100m water resistance, the Tissot PR 100 Tour De France is equally compelling as a sports-inspired daily watch or as a distinctive addition to a Tissot collection.
Why Choose the Tissot PR 100 Tour De France?
The Tissot PR 100 Tour De France stands apart because Tissot has integrated the identity of the race throughout the watch rather than relying simply on commemorative branding.
The black dial features an asphalt-inspired texture, directly referencing the roads of the Tour. The yellow central chronograph hand incorporates a bicycle-inspired detail, while the caseback carries the Tour de France logo.
Tissot also includes a second black bi-material strap inspired by bicycle handlebar grips, giving the owner an alternative to the stainless-steel bracelet.
Beneath these distinctive design elements is a strong everyday specification. The G10.212 Swiss quartz chronograph movement provides precise elapsed-time measurement, sapphire crystal protects the dial and 10 bar / 100m water resistance adds practical durability.
The result is a watch with genuine Tour de France personality that remains functional and versatile enough for regular wear.
