comfortable weekend chrono
Wore this out to a car show on Saturday and around the house all weekend. The grey dial with the red seconds hand pops in daylight and the silicone strap doesn't trap sweat.
The watch
Built around a grey dial, the Tissot T-Race 45mm Chronograph pairs a 45mm case with a Swiss quartz chronograph movement. Highlights include 100m water resistance and a sapphire crystal. On the ChronoSeasons dial it sits at Hour V — Chronograph, part of the Expedition season — and suits driving days, flights and timing anything that matters.
Superbike design language drives the T-Race — a brake-disc bezel, handlebar-style pushers and finned case sides. Here a black PVD-coated steel case frames a smoked grey dial, with a black silicone strap keeping the look dark and technical.
A Swiss quartz chronograph powers the show, offering crisp start-stop timing, sub-dial counters and a date — precise and easy to live with day to day.
The substantial 45mm case makes a statement while the anti-reflective sapphire crystal keeps the grey dial legible. With 100m (10 ATM) of water resistance, splashes and swims are no concern.
For the rider who likes stealthy tones with a hint of contrast — a grey-on-black chronograph with genuine motorsport character.
New, boxed and warrantied — ships within the US.
Good to know
It runs on a Swiss quartz chronograph movement. Quartz keeps it accurate and low-maintenance; the battery simply needs replacing every few years.
The watch is water resistant to 100m (10 ATM), so it handles splashes, rain and swimming. Do not operate the chronograph pushers underwater and avoid hot showers, saunas and diving.
The case measures 45mm — an oversized case with real wrist presence, best on larger wrists (roughly 18 cm / 7 in and up). Our watch size guide (/pages/watch-size-guide) explains how to measure your wrist.
It has a grey dial, under a sapphire crystal.
It is a Swiss quartz chronograph. The battery-powered movement delivers precise timekeeping and stopwatch functions with minimal upkeep, and the battery can be replaced by any watchmaker when needed.
The strap is soft, durable silicone that shrugs off sweat and water, and the crystal is scratch-resistant sapphire with an anti-reflective treatment for clear legibility.

Owners say
Wore this out to a car show on Saturday and around the house all weekend. The grey dial with the red seconds hand pops in daylight and the silicone strap doesn't trap sweat.
I was worried a 45mm case would swallow my wrist, and the short integrated lugs proved me wrong. The sapphire crystal, solid pushers, and grey dial finishing are top notch for the money.
Online photos sometimes make black PVD watches look plasticky, so I was a bit skeptical before opening the box. The metallic grey dial and multi-piece steel bezel have real depth and weight on my wrist.
Gave this to my brother for his retirement party since he spends his mornings riding his BMW tourer. He loves the grey dial and red accents, though the thick silicone strap was pretty stiff for the first 3-4 days before breaking in.
Tough silicone strap and clear stopwatch subdials. Fits my wrist well.
Bought this for my son's 30th birthday. He's a mechanical engineer and a huge Formula 1 and MotoGP fan, so the brake-caliper details and anthracite grey dial really hit home for him.
Happy 30th to your son, Mike! Sounds like the exact right watch for a mechanical engineer who loves motorsport.
Practical tool watch for marine survey work. The sapphire crystal sits recessed inside the brake-disc bezel where it won't chip against bulkheads, the 100m water resistance handles rain and spray, and the grey dial with red chronograph seconds hand is easy to read.
Wasn't sure what to expect ordering a motorsport watch online, and the brushed grey dial and black PVD case finishing really impressed me. Only reason for 4 stars is swapping the spring bars in those deep hooded lugs took me 15 minutes of patience.
Appreciate the review, Miles! Those recessed hooded lugs hold the strap securely, though they definitely take a steady hand with a spring-bar tool.
Comfortable black silicone strap and sharp grey dial. Great weekend watch.
Tissot updated the T141.417 series with a cleaner dial layout while keeping the signature slotted brake-rotor bezel. Even at 45mm in diameter and 11.8mm thick, the hooded lug design keeps the effective lug-to-lug compact enough for my wrist. The Swiss ETA G10.212 quartz chronograph movement inside features a 1/10th-second counter at 2 o'clock and snaps back to twelve with crisp precision.
Thank you for the detailed breakdown, Edward! The hooded lugs on the T141 series really do make that 45mm case wear much more compactly.
