Tissot timekeeper of the Tour de France

Since 2015, Tissot has chosen to dedicate its professionalism and expertise to the world’s premier cycling event, the Tour de France. It has thus become the Official Timekeeper of this competition and annually markets the Official Watch of the Grande boucle. For this 107^th edition, held from August 29^th to September 20^th, Tissot unveiled the Supersport Tour, a 45.5mm quartz chronograph clothed in the sports event’s official black and yellow colours.

Its ergonomic and aerodynamic design of this timepiece is here accentuated by four large hands making it easy to tell the time... even when riding a bike. The very dynamic dial is balanced with three auxiliary dials that also provide an allusion to bike wheels. Better still, a bright yellow bicycle is engraved on the counterweight of the large second hand of the chronograph which gives a clear reading of the time while the tachymetric scale on the bezel can be used to calculate a cyclist’s speed over a given distance. The case back is engraved with the race logo.
