For a while it looked like it would not happen, but fortunately the Tour de France will start on August 29. Tissot has been the official timekeeper and sponsor of this major cycling event for years. This fact is being celebrated this year with a special edition chronograph full of surprising details.
Tissot chronographs: precise and sporty
Swiss watch manufacturer Tissot has a long history of producing highly accurate sports chronographs. This focus on precision is a shared value with all sports organizations where a fraction of a second counts. In addition to motorsports, cycling is one of the sports in which Tissot is most involved. The brand was already the official timekeeper of the Tour de France in 1988. And in 1995 Tissot entered into a partnership with the Union Cycliste Internationale. Since then, Tissot has been the official timekeeper of the Road, Track, Mountain Bike and BMX World Cycling Championships and the Tissot UCI Track Cycling World Cup.
Special edition Tour de France 2020 chronograph
In 2020, Tissot brings us a very special edition chronograph. The T1256171705100 Super Sport Tour de France exudes the atmosphere of Le Tour in everything. The characteristic color of the maillot jaune is reflected in various details: in the flexible silicone rubber strap, in the tachymeter scale, in the chrono dials and in the special seconds hand that is shaped like a racing bicycle.
The watch also comes in a storage box with a yellow Tour de France sleeve.
The official Tour de France logo is engraved on the back of the case.
Are you wearing the watch with a suit and do you think the rubber strap does not suit it? You can then easily exchange this strap with the extra leather strap that comes with this watch. Here again a striking detail: the shape of a racing bicycle is printed in the tire.
