Tissot T-Race Thomas Lüthi Limited Edition Watch T048.417.27.032.00
This year’s novelty from the T-Sport collection is produced in only 999 pieces which will be highly desired by collectors. The heart of the watch is the Swiss made ETA G10.211 Quartz movement which provides amazing functions in the most accurate and precise manner.
This striking watch is housed in a round stainless steel case with a black PVD coating. Its masculine case measures 45.3 x 50.26 mm and it is 12.67 mm thick. The case incorporates a black rotating GMT bezel, inscribed with Arabic numerals and a guarded crown with an embossed ‘T’ on the upper surface. This new men’s Tissot is accompanied by a black sporty rubber strap, with a folding clasp with push-buttons.
The model T0484172703200 is very resistant to scratching, since it is protected with a sapphire crystal. Also, it has a solid case back, decorated with the lucky number of Lüthi’s bike – 12, as well as with his name below it. This sports watch from the T-Race family provides decent water resistance up to 100 meters (330 feet).
An Extremely Useful Timekeeping Instrument in a Race with an Outstanding Appearance
The most eye-catching is its silver dial which comprises luminous hour and minute hands, a thin yellow second hand, as well as Arabic numerals, three sub-dials and a date window.
Two black chronograph counters are set symmetrically at two and ten o’clock positions, and they track 1/10th of a second and 30 minutes, while a little bit larger white sub-dial at the six o’clock position is the standard 60 seconds counter. The date aperture is positioned at the 4 o’clock. A yellow tachymeter scale, with indices and Arabic numerals, is nicely set on the outer rim of the dial.
If you are intrigued in buying this limited edition watch, you will have to pay $795.

Typical sports watch with a touch of sophistication inside it.
I really like this watch. It looks perfect and I`ll be glad to see it on my wrist for my birthday.
I realized one of my dreams, I bought this watch and I can tell you that you will not regret if you buy it .
It has a good price and you`ll get high quality for that money.
Tom Luthi is my favorite bike driver. I`m his big fan. That is quite enough for me to buy this Tissot watch. Anybody can tell me that I`m crazy or stupid, but like I said, Tom is one of my heroes and I like his work and deeds.
