FAQs

Do I need to wind an automatic watch?

Yes, automatic watches are powered by the movement of your wrist. If you don't wear it daily, or if it has stopped, you may need to manually wind the crown about 30-40 times to start it and ensure it's fully powered.

How accurate is a Swiss automatic movement?

Swiss automatic movements are generally very accurate, with typical daily variations of a few seconds. Factors like temperature, position, and magnetism can affect accuracy.

Can I shower or swim with this watch?

No, the watch has a water resistance of 5 bar (50 meters), which is suitable for splashes and brief immersion (like washing hands or light rain) but not for showering, swimming, or diving.

How do I clean the stainless steel case?

Gently wipe the stainless steel case and crystal with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For stubborn smudges, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What is the warranty period for this watch?

Tissot watches typically come with a manufacturer's warranty. Please refer to the warranty card included with your purchase for the specific duration and terms, which is usually 2 years.

Can I change the leather strap myself?

Yes, the watch features an interchangeable strap. You can typically change it using a spring bar tool to release the old strap and install a new one of the correct size (20mm lug width).

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped or is losing time

Ensure the watch is being worn regularly to keep the automatic movement wound. If stopped, manually wind the crown approximately 30-40 times. If the issue persists, the watch may require servicing.

Date is not changing correctly

Ensure you are not setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can cause the date mechanism to engage. Set the time to the correct AM/PM and then adjust the date in the 24-hour cycle, ensuring it changes after midnight.

Crown is difficult to turn

Ensure the crown is in the correct position. If it's in the time-setting position, it will turn more freely. If it's stiff in the winding position, it might require professional inspection.

Strap replacement is difficult

Use a spring bar tool to depress the spring bar and release the strap. Ensure the new strap's spring bars are correctly aligned and engaged before releasing pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

As a Swiss automatic watch, the Tissot T-Classic typically starts keeping time once it is worn. If the watch has stopped, it may require manual winding to initiate the movement. Gently turn the crown (located on the side of the case) clockwise about 30-40 times until you feel some resistance. Avoid over-winding. The date can be set by pulling the crown out to the first position and turning it. For time setting, pull the crown to the furthest position.

Compatibility:

  • Strap: The watch features an interchangeable strap system, allowing for customization with compatible 20mm leather or metal bracelets. Ensure any replacement strap is designed for a 40mm watch case with a 20mm lug width.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the stainless steel case and crystal gently with a soft, dry cloth. For the leather strap, use a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry; avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.
  • Water Resistance: While water-resistant to 50 meters, avoid prolonged exposure to water. Rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly after any contact with salt water or chemicals.
  • Movement: Automatic movements benefit from regular wear. If stored for extended periods, they may need to be re-wound or serviced by a qualified watchmaker.
