FAQs
What is the lug width for this 40mm model?
The Tissot T-Classic Gentleman 40mm typically features a 21mm lug width, allowing for easy strap changes.
Is the watch water-resistant?
Yes, this model is designed for everyday water resistance, suitable for splashes or rain, but should not be used for scuba diving.
Does the watch require a battery?
No, this is a mechanical automatic watch that is powered by the movement of your wrist.
How often should the movement be serviced?
Tissot generally recommends a professional service every 3 to 5 years to ensure the lubricant remains effective and accuracy stays within spec.
Can I replace the leather strap with a steel bracelet?
Yes, the T-Classic Gentleman is compatible with various aftermarket or Tissot-branded bracelets as long as the lug width matches.
Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped running
Manually wind the crown clockwise for 20-30 turns or wear the watch for several hours to build the power reserve.
Date is changing in the middle of the day
The watch is likely set 12 hours out of sync; pull the crown to the time-setting position and advance the hands forward by 12 hours.
Visible smudge on the case back
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the crystal; do not use chemical solvents.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Impressive 80-hour power reserve

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set the time and date, pull the crown to the first position to adjust the date, and the second position to adjust the hour and minute hands. Push the crown back in fully to restart the mechanism.
For care, avoid exposing the leather strap to excessive moisture or perspiration, as this will accelerate the degradation of the material. Use a dry, soft microfiber cloth to wipe down the stainless steel case periodically to maintain its luster. While the watch is water-resistant, it is recommended to have the seals checked by a professional every few years, especially if you regularly expose the watch to water or humid environments.
