Product Description

Don't be afraid to push the red line with the Tissot Men's T-Race Moto GP Watch, which looks like it's going 100 mph while it's sitting on your wrist. Speedometer-like sub-dials coupled with a black and stainless steel color scheme and the checkered flag at the top of the bezel really drive home the racing theme. The face of this watch kicks off with a carbon composite and 316l stainless steel case and a bidirectional stainless steel bezel. It features a black index dial with silver-toned, luminous hands and stick hour markers, which are all protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The watch is powered by reliable quartz movement. The dial also boasts a tachymeter around the outer rim and a date display window at the 4 o'clock position. There are three sub-dials displaying 1/10th second, 30 minutes and 60 seconds. The watch's black rubber bracelet gives it a sporty feel as it circle the wrist until it comes to the fold-over clasp with double safety release, which secures the watch. Finally, this timepiece offers water resistance up to 100 meters/330 feet. 

The Tissot Story

For more than 150 years, Tissot has embodied the innovation and tradition of Swiss watch-making. Based in the Neuchâtel area of the Jura Mountains, in Le Locle, Switzerland, Charles-Félicien Tissot and his son Charles-Emile created the watch making company Tissot in 1853. Whether in the technology of its movements, in the research for special materials or in the very functions of the watch itself, Tissot's engineers and watchmakers have developed pioneering timepieces over the years.
Some of Tissot's triumphs over the years include the the Idea 2001 (the world's first plastic watch) released in 1971, the Rock watch (which set the timepiece's movement in a stone case made from Swiss Alps granite) in 1985, and the Wood watch from 1988 (with a completely wooden case). Tissot uses the best movements (from ETA SA Manufacture Horlogère Suisse), the highest quality materials (316L steel, 18K gold, titanium) and scratch-proof glasses (sapphire crystal--at least 2500 Vickers).
The company has been involved with high profile sports events since 1974 when they sponsored a racing car in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, France. Since then Tissot's timepieces have been chosen as official timekeepers for world championships in cycling, motorcycling, fencing and ice hockey. And Tissot is currently the the official watch and timekeeper of NASCAR.
Tissot timepieces have been worn by a bevy of celebrities over the years--including Grace Kelly, Elvis Presley and Nelson Mandela--and James Stewart's character L.B. Jefferies wore a Tissot timepiece in Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window." Today the company is represented in a variety of sporting fields by English soccer star Michael Owen, IndyCar driver Danica Patrick, and MotoGP world champion Nicky Hayden. Today, Tissot is a member of the Swatch Group, the world's largest watch producer and distributor.
