The ellesse Leo W03-00869-003 is a chronograph rated to 10 ATM, and that combination is rarer than it sounds. A chronograph has pushers passing through the case wall, and every one of them is a place water can get in — which is why most quartz chronographs at this price stop at 3 or 5 ATM. The Leo is rated to 100 metres, so it goes swimming with you rather than coming off at the poolside.
It is also the more wearable size. At 40mm the case gives the dial the room a chronograph needs without the width that makes larger chronographs sit awkwardly on an average wrist, and at 10.5mm deep it stays slim for a watch carrying this much mechanism.
The green dial is the deliberate part. Blue and black are what sports chronographs default to; green is what you pick when you want the watch to be yours. A Time Module VD54 quartz calibre drives it, so the chronograph starts, stops and resets instantly, and the 20mm bracelet is 316L stainless steel.

Why You'll Love It
- A chronograph rated to 100 metres is uncommon at this price. Pushers are a water ingress point, so most quartz chronographs in this bracket stop at 3 or 5 ATM — the Leo doubles that.
- A chronograph is the one complication people actually use — timing a run, a parking meter, a pan on the stove. It is a stopwatch you always have with you.
- 40mm is the size most people find easiest to live with. It gives a chronograph dial the room it needs without the width that makes bigger ones sit awkwardly.
- Green against steel is a deliberate choice. Sports chronographs default to black and blue; this one reads as something you selected rather than settled for.
- A quartz chronograph starts, stops and resets instantly, and keeps time to quartz accuracy between uses. A mechanical chronograph costs several times as much and is less precise.
- 10.5mm is slim for a watch carrying a chronograph module — many sit between 12 and 14mm, and every millimetre of that catches on a cuff.
- Plain steel has nothing to wear through. There is no plating at the clasp or link edges to thin out over years.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the chronograph work?
The chronograph is a stopwatch built into the watch, operated by the pushers beside the crown. Pressing the top pusher starts and stops the timing; the bottom one resets it. The main hands carry on showing the time throughout, so the two functions never interfere with each other.
Will 40mm fit my wrist?
40mm sits in the standard full-size range and suits most wrists from roughly 16cm to 20cm. On a chronograph it is close to ideal — enough room for the dial to stay readable, without the width that makes a 42mm or 44mm chronograph overhang a smaller wrist.
Can I swim with this watch?
Yes. At 10 ATM the case is rated to 100 metres, which covers swimming and general water activity. As with any chronograph, do not operate the pushers while the watch is wet — that is the most common way water gets into a chronograph case, whatever the rating.
What movement does it use?
A Time Module VD54 quartz calibre. Quartz movements are battery-powered, need no winding, and hold time more consistently than a mechanical movement at the same price.
Can the bracelet be resized?
Yes. The 20mm stainless steel bracelet can be adjusted to fit at any City Chain Singapore store. Bring your warranty book along for the service.
What warranty does this watch come with?
Two years when purchased from City Chain Singapore, an authorised ellesse retailer. Keep your warranty book and proof of purchase — both are needed when submitting the watch for service at any City Chain outlet.
Is mineral glass durable?
Mineral glass is heat-treated for hardness and handles everyday contact well — desk edges, door frames, jewellery. It is more scratch-resistant than acrylic and more shatter-resistant than sapphire, though sapphire resists scratches better still.
When does the battery need replacing?
Quartz watch batteries typically run for several years depending on use, though a chronograph draws more power when the timing function is running. When the watch stops or begins losing time, bring it to any City Chain outlet for replacement — doing it in-store keeps the case seal intact.
Who is ellesse?
ellesse is an Italian brand founded in Perugia in 1959 by Leonardo Servadio, the name taken from his initials. It began in skiwear and expanded through tennis and lifestyle over the following decades. City Chain holds the licence to design and sell watches under the ellesse name.
