Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 40mm
The Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 40mm combines Swiss quartz precision, classic stainless-steel styling and genuine sports-watch functionality in balanced everyday proportions. Reference T17.1.586.32 features a silver dial, three chronograph counters, sapphire crystal and substantial 200-metre water resistance, creating a versatile watch with both technical capability and understated elegance.
Although commonly described commercially as a 40 mm watch, the documented case diameter is 39.8 mm, making the Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 40mm particularly well balanced by modern sports-watch standards. The case measures approximately 12.02 mm thick, while the 19 mm lug width helps maintain proportional integration with the stainless-steel bracelet.
At the heart of the watch is the ETA G10.211 Swiss quartz chronograph movement, providing accurate everyday timekeeping together with chronograph and date functionality. The movement includes a central chronograph seconds hand and dedicated timing counters, giving the watch authentic elapsed-time capability rather than purely decorative subdials.

Swiss Quartz Chronograph Performance
The Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 40mm is powered by the ETA G10.211 Swiss quartz calibre.
Quartz technology provides excellent accuracy and straightforward ownership, making this reference particularly suitable for someone who wants chronograph functionality without the winding requirements or mechanical complexity of an automatic chronograph.
The movement provides standard hours and minutes together with small seconds, a practical date display and chronograph functionality. WatchBase also identifies the calibre as supporting a rattrapante/split-time function.
The Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 40mm therefore offers a useful balance between technical functionality and everyday convenience.
Elegant Silver Chronograph Dial
The silver dial gives the Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 40mm a more refined character than many conventional sports chronographs.
Three subdials provide the visual structure required for the chronograph functions, while luminous hands and markers improve readability when lighting conditions are reduced. A tachymeter scale around the outer portion of the dial adds another sport-oriented detail.
The silver colour works naturally with the stainless-steel case and bracelet, creating a monochromatic appearance that remains highly versatile.
This makes the Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 40mm suitable not only for casual use but also for business and smart-casual clothing.

Balanced 39.8mm Stainless-Steel Case
The case of the Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 40mm measures 39.8 mm in diameter, which is why the model is naturally marketed in the 40 mm class.
Its approximately 12.02 mm thickness gives the watch enough depth to accommodate the chronograph movement while remaining considerably more restrained than many contemporary 43–45 mm sports chronographs.
The case is manufactured from stainless steel and uses a closed caseback. A fixed stainless-steel bezel surrounds the sapphire crystal.
These proportions are one of the key strengths of the Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 40mm.
It feels substantial enough to retain a genuine sporting identity without becoming oversized.
Scratch-Resistant Sapphire Crystal
Protecting the silver dial is a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
Sapphire offers excellent resistance to everyday surface scratching and is an important specification for a Swiss watch designed for regular long-term use.
Combined with the stainless-steel construction, the sapphire crystal gives the Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 40mm a durable exterior suited to everyday wear.
200m Water Resistance
One of the defining technical strengths of the Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 40mm is its substantial 20 ATM / 200 m / 660 ft water resistance.
This specification gives the PRC 200 considerably greater aquatic capability than a conventional dress chronograph.
Its name reflects the collection’s performance-oriented philosophy, and the 200-metre rating is one of the clearest indications that this is more than simply an elegant quartz watch.
The Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 40mm therefore offers a useful combination of formal versatility and real sports-watch durability.

Stainless-Steel Bracelet
The Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 40mm is paired with a matching stainless-steel bracelet.
The steel bracelet reinforces the watch’s durable sports-watch character while keeping the overall appearance neutral and versatile.
Available reference data lists a folding clasp, creating a secure everyday fastening system.
The full stainless-steel construction also gives the watch a more substantial feel than leather-strap variants while preserving the clean silver aesthetic.
Chronograph Functionality
Chronograph functionality is central to the character of the Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 40mm.
The ETA G10.211 movement provides elapsed-time measurement through multiple counters and a central chronograph seconds hand. Reference descriptions also identify a 30-minute counter and 1/10-second timing capability.
This gives the dial a more technical appearance while adding practical timing functionality for everyday situations.
Rather than being a purely decorative complication, the chronograph forms an important part of the model’s sports-watch identity.
Everyday Versatility
The Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 40mm succeeds because it balances technical capability with restrained proportions.
Its 39.8 mm case is noticeably easier to wear than many larger chronographs, while the silver dial and stainless-steel bracelet keep the appearance refined.
The sapphire crystal, quartz movement and 200 m water resistance provide the durability and convenience required for everyday ownership.
For someone looking for one Swiss chronograph capable of moving naturally between work, casual occasions and more active environments, this PRC 200 offers impressive flexibility.
A Classic Swiss Sports Chronograph
The Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 40mm combines Swiss quartz accuracy, chronograph functionality and robust construction in a design that remains timeless.
Its silver dial gives the watch an elegant foundation, while the tachymeter scale and three chronograph counters introduce genuine sporting character.

Its neutral colour complements the stainless-steel bracelet and allows the watch to work naturally with a wide range of clothing styles.
Does the watch have a chronograph?
Yes. Chronograph functionality is one of the defining characteristics of this PRC 200 reference.
The ETA G10.211 provides elapsed-time timing through a central chronograph seconds hand and dedicated counters.
What is a chronograph?
A chronograph is a watch with an integrated stopwatch-style timing function.
It allows elapsed intervals to be started, stopped and reset independently of the normal time display.

Yes. The Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 40mm includes a practical date display for everyday use.

A tachymeter can be used together with the chronograph to calculate average speed over a known distance.

Yes. The Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 40mm uses scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
Sapphire provides excellent resistance against everyday surface scratching.
Is the Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 40mm water resistant?
Yes. One of the strongest specifications of this reference is its 20 bar / 200 m / 660 ft water resistance.
This gives the watch considerably more aquatic capability than many standard dress or fashion chronographs.
Can I swim with the Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 40mm?
Its 200 m water-resistance specification provides substantial protection for aquatic use.
However, water-resistance performance depends on the condition of seals and correct operation of the watch, so manufacturer guidance should always be followed.
Can I operate the chronograph pushers underwater?
Chronograph pushers should not be operated underwater unless a manufacturer explicitly specifies that the watch supports underwater pusher operation.
The Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 40mm should therefore not be treated as an underwater-operable chronograph.
Is 40mm a good everyday watch size?
For many wearers, yes.
The Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 40mm sits in a particularly versatile size range, offering noticeable presence without the bulk associated with larger 44–46 mm sports chronographs.

Yes.
Although technically a sports chronograph, the silver dial and stainless-steel bracelet give the Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 40mm a relatively restrained appearance.
It can work effectively with business clothing and smart-casual outfits.
Is it suitable for casual wear?
Absolutely.
Its chronograph layout and steel construction provide enough sporting character for jeans, casual clothing and weekend use.
Does the Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 40mm need winding?
No.
Because it uses a quartz movement, the watch does not require manual winding or automatic winding through wrist motion.
Does the watch use a battery?
Yes.
The Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 40mm is battery powered because it uses a quartz movement.
Is quartz more accurate than automatic?
Generally, yes.
Quartz movements typically offer greater absolute everyday accuracy than mechanical automatic movements.
That makes the Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 40mm particularly attractive to buyers who prioritise precision and convenience.
Is a quartz chronograph easier to maintain than an automatic chronograph?
In general, yes.
A quartz chronograph contains fewer continuously operating mechanical components and does not require the same type of winding system as an automatic chronograph.
Battery replacement and normal periodic maintenance remain necessary.
Is the bracelet stainless steel?
Yes. The Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 40mm is paired with a matching stainless-steel bracelet.
This complements the case and reinforces the classic all-steel sports-watch aesthetic.
What kind of clasp does it use?
Available specifications identify a folding clasp for the stainless-steel bracelet.
Is the silver dial versatile?

Silver is one of the easiest traditional dial colours to combine with different clothing styles.
The Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 40mm pairs naturally with black, grey, navy, white, denim and many other colours.
What makes the PRC 200 different from a dress chronograph?
The principal distinction is its stronger sports-watch specification.
The Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 40mm combines chronograph functionality with sapphire crystal, steel construction and 200 m water resistance, while maintaining a relatively elegant silver-dial appearance.
Is the Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 40mm a good first Swiss watch?
Yes.
Its Swiss quartz movement, recognisable Tissot heritage, practical chronograph functions and durable construction make it an accessible introduction to Swiss watchmaking.
Is this model still in Tissot’s current collection?
