This year, the Swiss watchmaker, Tissot, launched a limited edition watch in honor of a Canadian professional ice hockey centre and alternate captain for the Tampa Bay Lightning of the National Hockey League, Steven Christopher Stamkos.
Like the explosive and goal-scoring Tissot ambassador, this wristwatch exudes with utmost precision, robustness and sportiness.
