Created in honour of the elite riders who inspire cyclists across the globe, the new generation of Tissot T Race Cycling comes in two special editions: Tour de France and Vuelta a Espana. Tissot is a partner of these two legendary races as Official Timekeeper.
The 2023 edition blends a classic look and design while still inspired by the sport. Pushers reflect brake levers while the hands represent spokes.
The lugs are leviated to reference the lightness of racing bike frames, the crown and caseback are reminiscent of the cassette, while the middle ring of the watch’ s case is made of carbon.
The race logos are engraved on the casebacks and the colours of each event (yellow for Tour de France and red for La Vuelta) are represented on the second hands, crowns, and strap.
This year and for the first time, 2 different straps will accompany each watch from this collection. A silicone strap, bearing the colour of the races in which Tissot is partner, but also a perforated leather strap that reflects the handlebar grips of Tour bikes. Both are equipped with quick release technology and allow the wearer to change his or her style quickly.
To further personalise the experience of its customers, Tissot has created a special sleeve for the T Race Cycling watch box. Each sleeve is in the colour of its respective event and further highlights the special edition aspect of this series.
Suggested retail price: $575 USD.
