The Tissot T-Race Quartz Chronograph collection continues to stand as a celebration of motorsports, combining robust design with the brand’s hallmark Swiss precision. The latest additions to the line—vivid, sporty, and unapologetically bold—carry forward this legacy while incorporating modern refinements. These watches encapsulate the exhilaration of motorcycling, with equally competent aesthetic and technical prowess.
An Evolution in Design
The T-Race collection has always paid homage to the adrenaline-fuelled world of high-performance bikes, going by the list of Tissot partnerships with global motorsport events like MotoGP™, the Tour de France, and Vuelta a España. Over the years, the collection has evolved to incorporate both rugged sportiness and understated sophistication. The latest iterations demonstrate this balance with streamlined, elegant dials that acknowledge their motorcycling roots.
The New T-Race Quartz Chronograph Models Are Bold And Versatile
The three new T-Race chronographs feature a 45mm case crafted from the superior quality 316L stainless steel, offering durability and a striking wrist presence. These watches feature rotating lugs that ensure optimal comfort, making them suitable for daily wear and outdoor adventures. Two pushers adjacent to two and four o’clock control the chronograph counters at three, six and nine o’clock.The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal is treated with an anti-reflective coating, which reduces the glare and forms a contributing factor to the watch’s overall water resistance up to 100m. Further, the Super-LumiNova® coated hands enhance legibility in poor light. These watches are powered by a reliable Swiss quartz chronograph movement, complete with an End-of-Life (EOL) indicator, a testament to their precision and longevity.
Each T-Race chronograph has its own character and distinctive vibrancy. The all-black edition exudes understated elegance with a dark grey dial, a black PVD-coated case, and a matching silicone strap. The olive green watch offers a stylish, rugged appearance with green accents and PVD-coated stainless-steel case. The bold red version stands out for its dynamic design, combining a dark grey dial in vertical brushed finish with contrasting red baton indices, and hands. A matching red silicone strap completes the look. These diverse colourways make the watches versatile companions, complementing both casual and formal attire.
The design remains deeply inspired by the spirit of motorcycling, evident in the fine details that evoke elements of high-performance bikes. Bezels shaped like brake discs, pushers inspired by handlebars, engine-cooling fin accents on the case and other moto-themed accents anchor the collection firmly in its racing heritage. Despite their sport-inspired aesthetic, these watches also offer the sophistication required for more formal occasions.
With the new T-Race quartz chronograph trio, Tissot has once again demonstrated its capability to blend tradition with modernity, straddling both worlds, of adventure and of refinement.
