Tissot T-Race MotoGP Limited Edition 45mm, Swiss Automatic
Product Overview
The Tissot T-Race MotoGP Limited Edition is a Swiss-made automatic chronograph watch crafted for those who live for speed, precision, and mechanical artistry. Released in 2026 to commemorate over 20 years of Tissot’s official partnership with MotoGP™, this timepiece is more than a watch—it’s a tribute to the relentless pursuit of performance that defines the world’s premier motorcycle racing series. With its skeleton dial revealing the intricate Valjoux A05 movement, every glance at the dial is a reminder of the exposed engineering found in MotoGP™ bikes. Limited to just 2,026 units worldwide, each watch is individually numbered, making it a rare collectible for motorsport fans and horology enthusiasts alike. The presentation is as bold as the design: the watch arrives in a distinctive helmet-shaped box, echoing the protective gear worn by riders and adding a layer of authenticity to the entire experience.
Key Features
- Swiss Automatic Chronograph Movement: At its heart lies the Valjoux A05 caliber, a respected automatic movement known for its reliability and precision. This movement powers the chronograph function—perfect for timing laps or simply appreciating mechanical complexity—and offers an impressive 68-hour power reserve. That means the watch continues running for nearly three days without being worn, ideal for weekend adventures or midweek breaks.
- Skeleton Dial Design: The open-heart dial doesn’t just look striking—it serves as a window into the watch’s mechanical soul. You can see the balance wheel oscillating and gears turning in real time, mirroring the transparent efficiency of MotoGP™ machinery where every component is visible and optimized for performance.
- Brake-Disc Inspired Bezel: The bezel draws direct inspiration from the high-performance brake discs used on MotoGP™ motorcycles. Its ridged, functional design not only enhances grip for adjustment but also reinforces the watch’s racing DNA, blending form and function seamlessly.
- Rubber Strap with Engine Part Inspiration: The strap is made from durable, flexible rubber and features a texture and pattern reminiscent of components found inside a motorcycle engine. It’s designed to withstand daily wear while maintaining comfort, whether you’re at the track, in the office, or out on the town.
- Limited Edition Exclusivity: With only 2,026 pieces produced—one for each year since Tissot’s partnership began in 2001—this watch carries inherent rarity. Each unit is part of a numbered series, adding long-term collectible value and personal significance for the owner.
- Signature Helmet-Shaped Packaging: The presentation box is modeled after a MotoGP™ racing helmet, complete with realistic contours and finishes. This unique packaging isn’t just protective—it’s a display-worthy keepsake that enhances the unboxing experience and makes the watch ideal for gifting on special occasions.
