After being involved with car racing since the 1960s, Tissot has became the Official Timekeeper of MotoGP in 2001—the final year of the 500cc era before the modern four-strokes took over.Since 2003, the Swiss-based watch company has released limited edition MotoGP watches, including Nicky Hayden and Jorge Lorenzo editions.
For 2017, Tissot is releasing a limited-edition T-Race MotoGP Automatic watch, which highlights the successful relationship between Tissot and MotoGP.Tissot T-Race MotoGP Automatic WatchThe T-Race MotoGP Automatic Limited Edition 2017 watch arrives with a rose gold PVD case, gold attributes, and a carbon-fiber like dial that reflects a MotoGP prototype dash. The T-Race MotoGP watch symbolizes Grand Prix motorcycle racing with other accents that represent GP motorcycles, including footpegs, rear suspension, and a band that symbolizes tire tread.Speaking of the watch, Tissot says: “No details are left out. They go all the way to the automatic movement, visible through the transparent rim-like backcase. The brake-disc, as well as having its place on the bezel, is also portrayed on the oscillating mass, with the lines illustrating further tire treads. It would take a lot of breaking to stop this piece from winning. It is an exceptional watch, with only 2017 pieces like it. As a collector’s item, it comes in a special helmet box.”
