Tissot PRS 330 Chronograph
The Tissot PRS 330 Chronograph is a bold Swiss sports watch created for those who appreciate technical styling, substantial wrist presence and the precision of a high-performance quartz chronograph. Reference T076.417.17.057.00 combines a large stainless-steel case, deep black dial, tachymeter bezel and black rubber strap in a design that unmistakably belongs to Tissot’s sport-oriented watchmaking.
With a case measuring approximately 43.8 mm in diameter and 11.42 mm thick, the watch has a confident presence on the wrist without becoming excessively bulky for a modern sports chronograph. The case is constructed from 316L stainless steel, providing durability and corrosion resistance while creating a strong visual contrast against the black dial and rubber strap.
This substantial architecture gives the Tissot PRS 330 Chronograph a distinctly masculine character. It is not intended to disappear beneath the cuff like a traditional dress watch. Instead, its design celebrates the technical appearance and functional character expected from the PRS family.
One of the defining elements is the fixed tachymeter scale surrounding the dial. Combined with the chronograph, the tachymeter reinforces the motorsport-inspired identity of the watch and provides a visual connection between precision timing and speed measurement.
The black dial is equally purposeful. Its chronograph counters create a technical layout while luminous hands and markers improve visibility in reduced-light environments. An Arabic numeral at 12 o’clock provides an immediate visual reference, while indexes and minute markings maintain the sporty instrumentation-inspired appearance.
Three sub-dials organise the chronograph information across the dial. Exact-reference specifications identify counters for 60 seconds, 30 minutes and 1/10th of a second, providing precise elapsed-time measurement while maintaining the balanced appearance expected from a Swiss sports chronograph.
A practical date display further enhances everyday usability. This makes the Tissot PRS 330 Chronograph more than simply a stopwatch-inspired sports watch; it remains useful as a daily timepiece for work, travel and casual wear.
Inside reference T076.417.17.057.00 is the Swiss Made ETA G10.211 quartz calibre. This movement powers the timekeeping and chronograph functions while providing the convenience and accuracy associated with battery-powered Swiss quartz technology.
The chronograph offers more than conventional elapsed-time measurement. Exact-reference specifications list a central 60-second chronograph hand, 30-minute and 1/10-second counters, together with add and split functions, adding genuine functionality to the sporty dial architecture.
For someone who prefers a watch that remains ready without the winding or power-reserve considerations of a mechanical movement, the Tissot PRS 330 Chronograph is particularly convenient. Quartz operation makes it easy to rotate between several watches while maintaining dependable timekeeping.
Protecting the black dial is a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, one of the most desirable practical features in this category. Sapphire provides excellent resistance against everyday scratches and helps preserve the clarity of the dial over long-term ownership.
The watch is fitted with a black rubber strap, reinforcing its sporting identity while creating a comfortable alternative to a full stainless-steel bracelet. The combination of steel case, black dial and black rubber produces a purposeful appearance that works particularly well with casual and active clothing.
A folding clasp with push-buttons provides secure fastening and gives the rubber strap a more refined finishing detail than a basic pin buckle. Exact-reference information also identifies a 21 mm strap width at the case.
The Tissot PRS 330 Chronograph is rated to 10 bar / 100 metres / 330 feet of water resistance, giving it useful protection for everyday exposure to water and reinforcing its position as a genuine sports-oriented watch rather than a purely aesthetic chronograph.
That combination of sapphire crystal, stainless-steel construction, rubber strap and 100 m water resistance makes reference T076.417.17.057.00 particularly suitable for frequent everyday use.
Visually, the Tissot PRS 330 Chronograph works best for someone who prefers a stronger and more technical watch. The 44 mm case provides considerable wrist presence, while the black dial and strap prevent the overall design from appearing overly bright or formal.
It pairs naturally with denim, polo shirts, leather jackets, casual tailoring and sportswear. At the same time, the stainless-steel case adds enough refinement for smart-casual environments.
The black dial is also an important part of the watch’s versatility. While the chronograph architecture is undeniably sporty, the monochromatic colour scheme makes the watch relatively easy to coordinate with different clothing.
For motorsport enthusiasts, the tachymeter and chronograph arrangement give the Tissot PRS 330 Chronograph additional character. These elements are functional, but they also create the instrument-like aesthetic traditionally associated with racing chronographs.
For everyday users, however, the strongest appeal may simply be its balance of durability and convenience. Sapphire crystal helps resist scratches, the quartz movement requires minimal attention, the date display adds practical functionality and the 100 m water resistance provides useful everyday protection.
The Tissot PRS 330 Chronograph T076.417.17.057.00 is also a discontinued reference, making it an interesting choice for someone who wants a Tissot design that is no longer part of the brand’s current mainstream catalogue. Multiple current databases identify this exact reference as discontinued or unavailable.

Does a quartz chronograph need winding?
No. The movement is battery powered and does not require manual winding or regular wrist movement.
Does the Tissot PRS 330 have a chronograph?
Yes. Chronograph functionality is one of the defining features of this reference.
It allows elapsed time to be measured independently of the normal time display.
What do the chronograph sub-dials measure?
The chronograph configuration includes counters for functions such as 30-minute timing and 1/10-second measurement, together with the central chronograph seconds hand.
What is the ADD function?
The ADD function allows multiple separate elapsed-time periods to be added together, which can be useful when timing events containing interruptions.
What is split-time functionality?
Split timing allows intermediate times to be read while an overall timing operation continues, providing additional flexibility beyond a basic start-stop-reset chronograph.
Does the Tissot PRS 330 have a tachymeter?
Yes. A tachymeter scale forms part of its performance-oriented design.
What is a tachymeter used for?
When used with the chronograph, a tachymeter can calculate average speed over a known distance.
This feature is one of the reasons tachymeters are traditionally associated with motorsport-inspired chronographs.
Does the watch display the date?
Yes. The Tissot PRS 330 Chronograph includes a practical date indication for everyday use.
Does it have sapphire crystal?
Yes. Reference T076.417.17.057.00 is protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
Is sapphire crystal better than mineral glass?
Sapphire provides significantly greater resistance against everyday scratching than conventional mineral crystal and is a desirable premium feature for a regularly worn sports watch.
Are the hands luminous?
Yes. Luminous elements improve the visibility of the hands and markers when ambient lighting is reduced.
What material is the case?
The case is manufactured from 316L stainless steel, a material widely used in Swiss watchmaking because of its durability and corrosion resistance.
What type of strap does the PRS 330 use?
This reference is fitted with a black rubber strap.

Rubber complements the sporting character of the Tissot PRS 330 Chronograph and handles moisture more effectively than traditional leather.
It also creates a more casual and performance-focused appearance.
What clasp does the strap use?
The original configuration features a folding clasp with push-buttons, providing secure fastening and a more refined closure than a basic pin buckle.
Is the Tissot PRS 330 water-resistant?
Yes. The watch is rated to 10 bar / 100 metres / 330 feet.
Can I swim with it?
A 100-metre rating provides useful recreational water resistance when the watch seals are in good condition.
Because T076.417.17.057.00 is an older reference, having its water resistance professionally checked before relying on it for swimming is advisable.
Can I operate the chronograph pushers underwater?
The safest approach is not to operate chronograph pushers while the watch is submerged unless the manufacturer specifically confirms that they are designed for underwater operation.
Is this a diving watch?
No. The PRS 330 is a sports chronograph rather than a dedicated diver.
Is the Tissot PRS 330 suitable for everyday wear?
Yes. Sapphire crystal, quartz operation, rubber strap and 100-metre water resistance give it a strong everyday specification.
Its larger size, however, means it is best suited to someone comfortable with bold watches.
Can I wear it to the office?
Yes. The black dial and stainless-steel case remain sufficiently versatile for many professional environments, particularly business-casual settings.
Is it suitable with a suit?
It can be worn with a suit according to personal style, although the Tissot PRS 330 Chronograph is fundamentally a sports watch rather than a traditional formal dress watch.
What clothing works best with it?
Its black-and-steel configuration works particularly well with black, charcoal, navy, grey, white and denim.
Casual shirts, polos, leather jackets and sports-inspired clothing are especially natural combinations.
Is this a good first Swiss chronograph?
Yes. The quartz movement makes ownership straightforward while sapphire crystal, chronograph functionality and Swiss Made construction provide the premium characteristics expected from Tissot.
Why choose quartz rather than an automatic chronograph?
Quartz is especially attractive to someone who prioritises convenience and precision.
There is no need to wind the watch or monitor its mechanical power reserve, and it remains ready even when not worn for several days.
Does chronograph use consume more battery?
Yes. Frequent operation of chronograph functions can increase energy consumption compared with basic timekeeping alone.
Should battery replacement be performed professionally?
Yes. Professional replacement allows the battery, case seals and general watch condition to be checked correctly.
Is the Tissot PRS 330 still a current model?
Reference T076.417.17.057.00 is an older discontinued Tissot model and is no longer part of the main current collection.
Does being discontinued mean there is anything wrong with it?
No. Watch collections regularly evolve and references are discontinued as new designs replace them.
The watch retains its original Swiss quartz movement, sapphire crystal and sports-watch specifications.
Is the PRS 330 interesting for collectors?
It may appeal particularly to enthusiasts of discontinued T-Sport references and older Tissot racing-inspired designs.
Collectability itself depends on condition, completeness, availability and market demand, so it should not be guaranteed simply because the reference has been discontinued.
Is the Tissot PRS 330 a good gift?
Yes. Its distinctive styling, Swiss Made identity and chronograph functionality make it suitable for birthdays, graduations, anniversaries and professional milestones.
Who should choose the Tissot PRS 330 Chronograph?
