Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 42mm
The Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 42mm combines Swiss quartz precision, robust sports-watch engineering and timeless black-dial styling. Reference T055.417.11.057.00 features a 42mm 316L stainless-steel case, black chronograph dial, sapphire crystal and matching stainless-steel bracelet, creating a versatile Swiss Made timepiece designed for both everyday wear and more active occasions.

Tissot designed the PRC 200 with a relatively reduced bezel, allowing the dial to appear larger and improving readability. Super-LumiNova® on the hands further enhances visibility in reduced lighting conditions.
The watch also offers substantial 20 bar / 200 metre / 660 feet water resistance, supported by a screw-down crown and caseback. Combined with sapphire crystal and stainless-steel construction, this gives the PRC 200 genuine sports-watch capability.

This combination makes the Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 42mm particularly attractive for someone who wants genuine timing functionality without the winding requirements associated with a mechanical chronograph.

Black Chronograph Dial
The black dial gives the Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 42mm its strong and unmistakably sporting personality.
Tissot combines Arabic numerals and index hour markers with multiple chronograph indications, producing a technical layout while maintaining excellent readability. The reduced bezel makes the dial visually expansive, helping the individual displays remain clear despite the additional chronograph information.
Super-LumiNova® is applied to the hands, providing improved visibility when ambient lighting is reduced.
The black dial also contrasts effectively with the stainless-steel case and bracelet, creating a classic combination that works naturally with casual, business and smart-casual clothing.
42mm 316L Stainless-Steel Case
The Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 42mm uses a round 316L stainless-steel case measuring exactly 42mm wide and 41mm long.
Case thickness is 12.02mm, while the lug width measures 19mm. The complete watch weighs approximately 149g.
These proportions give the watch a substantial wrist presence without pushing it into oversized territory.
The stainless-steel construction also contributes to the robust character of the Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 42mm, while the combination of polished and functional surfaces allows it to retain the more classic aesthetic Tissot intended for the PRC family.
Scratch-Resistant Sapphire Crystal
Protecting the black dial is a sapphire crystal.
Sapphire provides excellent resistance against everyday scratching and is an important feature for a sports watch designed for regular long-term use.
Combined with the 316L stainless-steel case, screw-down construction and substantial water resistance, it gives the Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 42mm a durable exterior suited to everyday ownership.
Screw-Down Crown and Caseback
The Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 42mm features both a screw-down crown and screw-down caseback.
These elements play an important role in maintaining the watch’s impressive water-resistance capability.
The screw-down construction reinforces the performance-oriented character of the PRC 200 and separates it from conventional dress chronographs that typically offer considerably lower levels of water protection.
200m Water Resistance
One of the most impressive specifications of the Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 42mm is its 20 bar / 200m / 660ft water resistance.
This gives the watch considerably stronger aquatic capability than a conventional everyday chronograph.
Tissot combines this substantial rating with a screw-down crown, screw-down caseback, sapphire crystal and stainless-steel construction, creating a chronograph designed with genuine sports-watch durability in mind.
The result is a watch that combines an elegant black-and-steel appearance with serious practical capability.
Stainless-Steel Bracelet
Reference T055.417.11.057.00 is fitted with a matching stainless-steel bracelet.
Tissot specifies a grey steel bracelet equipped with a folding clasp with safety lock and diver extension.
The diver extension is a particularly useful sporting detail and complements the watch’s 200m water-resistance specification.
The all-steel configuration also gives the Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 42mm a more traditional sports-watch appearance than leather-strap versions of the PRC 200.
Tissot PRC 200 Collection
The Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 42mm belongs to a collection developed to combine sports-watch performance with a more classic appearance.
Following the success of Tissot’s PRS 200 sports line, the PRC 200 maintained substantial 200m water resistance while adopting a more restrained and versatile design. Tissot also reduced the bezel dimensions to make the dial appear larger and improve readability.
This philosophy is clearly visible in reference T055.417.11.057.00.
Its black chronograph dial delivers sporting character, while the stainless-steel case and bracelet give the watch a timeless appearance suitable for considerably more than purely athletic use.

Chronograph Functionality
Chronograph functionality is central to the identity of the Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 42mm.
The movement provides a central 60-second chronograph hand, together with dedicated 30-minute and 1/10-second counters. Tissot also specifies ADD and SPLIT functions, expanding the timing capabilities beyond a simple start-stop-reset chronograph.
A date function provides additional everyday practicality.
This combination of precise quartz timekeeping and useful chronograph functionality makes the PRC 200 particularly suitable for customers who want a technically capable Swiss watch without sacrificing convenience.
A Versatile Swiss Sports Chronograph
The Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 42mm is particularly successful as an everyday watch because it does not commit exclusively to either sporting or formal styling.
The black chronograph dial gives it a technical personality, while the stainless-steel case and bracelet maintain a clean and timeless appearance.
Its 42mm diameter provides confident wrist presence, yet the proportions remain versatile enough for regular use. Sapphire crystal provides durability, while the 200m water resistance significantly increases its practical capability.
The Swiss quartz chronograph movement completes the package with precision and convenience.
Swiss Precision with Classic Sporting Style
The Tissot PRC 200 Chronograph 42mm brings together the qualities that have made the PRC 200 family one of Tissot’s most versatile sports-watch collections.
