Tissot Couturier Chronograph T035.617.16.051.00 Review

The Tissot Couturier Chronograph T035.617.16.051.00 is a well-built, well-finished sporty everyday watch that is designed to have a bit of elegant dressy appeal. With that said, it is surprisingly versatile. As you can expect from Tissot, the watch is made in Switzerland and has a reliable movement.

Let’s dig into the T035.617.16.051.00 and see what makes it so popular.

Tissot Couturier Chronograph T035.617.16.051.00 case

The watch features a 316L stainless steel case with a diameter of 41mm and a thickness of 11mm. With that said, it is a medium-sized case with a perfect balance between elegance and sportiness. For men with medium to large wrists, the watch will work great for everyday wear but is, at the same time, not large enough to not be worn on more casual occasions.

The case is actually quite nicely finished, featuring satin-brushed lugs and a polished bezel. As a nice contrast, the sides of the case are polished. As the name reveals, this is also a chronograph watch, so naturally, it has chronograph pushers. These are positioned on each side of the crown.

The left side of the case has an interesting design that curves out and extends from the case. This does add a bit of sportiness to the watch design.

The water resistance of this watch is 10 bar (100 m / 330 ft), which is relatively good for a daily wearer. This means you can go swimming without having to worry about the watch.

Sitting on top of the case is a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.

Tissot Couturier Chronograph T035.617.16.051.00 dial

The watch has a very sporty and big dial. The dial is black, and the sub-dials are positioned at 6 o’clock, 2 o’clock, and 10 o’clock. They take up a large part of the watch’s real estate.

For the hour markers, the watch has applied beveled polished hour markers. The Tachymeter scale for the chronograph is printed on the outer part of the dial. The hour and minutes hands have a pointy shape and luminescent material applied to them.

Positioned at 4 o’clock, you find a date window. It has a black background which makes it blend into the dial very well

Tissot Couturier Chronograph T035.617.16.051.00 movement

The watch is equipped with the quartz ETA G10.211 which has 4 jewels. Some people may be scared away by the fact that it has a quartz movement and not a mechanical movement, but for this type of timepiece, it is of course quite practical. Firstly, a quartz movement is very accurate, and secondly, it will continue to tick without you having to worry that the movement will stop.

For this type of everyday timepiece, a quarts movement can actually come in quite handy.

In addition to this, it doesn’t come as a huge surprise that Tissot has opted for an ETA movement for this timepiece since the Swatch Group which owns Tissot also owns ETA.

Tissot Couturier Chronograph T035.617.16.051.00 strap

The watch is fitted with an embossed cow leather strap with a butterfly clasp with push buttons. The strap has curved ends which makes it integrate into the case perfectly.

Embossed Alligator leather straps work really well with timepieces that need a touch of elegance. It is of course very comfortable on the wrist too.
