A 44mm three-eye chronograph on a 316L steel bracelet — TAL’s most affordable way into the look, in an all-silver finish.

Best for

Someone who wants a big, bright chronograph look on a steel bracelet without spending much.

Official product page

Overview

The Bassy Silver K-2022 is TAL’s entry chronograph, and it leans into a big, legible 44mm face with three sub-dials and a day/date window. The case is alloy steel and the bracelet is 316L stainless, so it wears with some heft and keeps a bright, all-silver look that pairs with most outfits. A mineral crystal and 30-metre water resistance put it firmly in everyday-accessory territory rather than diving territory — this is a quartz chronograph you wear for the style and the price, not the depth rating. At under $135 it’s the cheapest TAL that still reads as a proper multi-dial chronograph.

The good

  • Large, legible 44mm three-dial chronograph face
  • Solid 316L stainless-steel bracelet
  • Day/date and stopwatch functions
  • TAL’s lowest-priced chronograph

The trade-offs

  • 30m water resistance — splash-proof, not for swimming
  • Mineral (not sapphire) crystal is easier to scratch
  • 44mm may wear large on smaller wrists

FAQs

Is this a Swiss watch?

No — the Bassy line uses a non-Swiss quartz movement. TAL’s Swiss-movement watches are its Classic (Ronda) and Cosmos/Arena (ETA) lines.

Can I swim with it?

It’s rated to 30 metres, which covers rain and hand-washing but not swimming or diving.

How big does it wear?

The 44mm case with a 22mm bracelet wears large and bold; if you prefer something dressier, TAL’s 40–41mm Classic line is smaller.
