This newcomer boasts sharp design and no detail on the watch is neglected. Compared with the last year’s model, this novelty boasts a fresh new look. The design of its case is especially cool with flexible horns and indices coated with Superluminova. The screws that fix the brake disc to the wheel are reminiscences of the small parts of the motorbikes themselves, while pushers are shaped like bike foot rests. The bracelet’s attachment took inspiration from back suspension rods, whereas the dynamic GT stripes add to the sporty look of the watch.

The new Tissot T-Race Watch is domed with anti-reflective sapphire crystals and constructed to resist water pressure of up to 100 meters (approximately 330 feet). Underneath the front glass lies a gray dial with a checkered-flag pattern and “starting grid” indices. Traditionally, at the 3 o’clock position there is a magnified date window. The hands are coated with superluminova for better visibility in low light conditions. The dial is surrounded by a tachymeter scale.
