Joining the celebrated Tissot XL family in a tailored mid-size format, the Tissot Chrono L 42mm T116.417.16.052.01 balances vintage aviation inspiration with everyday urban versatility. Built in an ergonomic 42 mm 316L stainless steel case, this sports chronograph pairs a matte black dial with contrasting warm-toned Arabic numerals, needle-shaped hands treated with Super-LumiNova®, a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and the high-precision Swiss ETA G10.212 PowerDrive quartz movement. Delivering 100-metre water resistance, split-second timing accuracy down to 1/10th of a second, and an interchangeable quick-release leather strap with vintage topstitching, it offers accessible Swiss sports-watch performance.

Design & Craftsmanship
Ergonomic 42mm Case for Modern Lifestyles
While the original Chrono XL made a bold statement at 45 mm, the Chrono L is scaled to 42.00 mm to provide a balanced, comfortable fit across a wider variety of wrist sizes. The brushed surgical-grade 316L stainless steel case features clean bevels, ergonomic down-turned lugs, and smooth pump pushers that ensure tactile chronograph operation.
Aviation-Inspired Dial Aesthetics & Legibility
The matte black dial evokes classic pilot cockpit clocks with its large, legible Arabic numerals and needle-shaped handset. Coated with Swiss Super-LumiNova®, the markers emit a soft glow in dim lighting. Three recessed sub-dials symmetrically balance the layout—providing continuous seconds, a 30-minute counter, and 1/10th-second intervals—alongside a discreet date window at 4 o'clock.
ETA PowerDrive Precision & Quick-Change Strap
Inside beats the Swiss ETA G10.212 quartz chronograph movement equipped with PowerDrive motor technology, allowing rapid hand reset and fraction-of-a-second accuracy. The supple leather strap features an integrated quick-release spring bar mechanism, enabling effortless strap swaps to nylon, rubber, or metal bracelets without tools.
