Tissot has launched the Supersport Chrono Basketball Edition to its Supersport Chrono Quartz collection.
The new timepiece adds to its offerings of modern, masculine, almost futuristic sports chronograph watches that bring together quality Swiss watchmaking and design with the high-energy dynamics inspired by Tissot’s long association with global basketball culture and its modern, urban style.
Tissot has been directly involved in global basketball culture for 15 years.
The Swiss timekeeper first partnered with FIBA in 2008 and then came together with the NBA in 2015. Today, Tissot is a familiar presence at NBA games as the Official Watch and Official Timekeeper of the NBA, the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) and the NBA G League. As well as precision timing every second of every game, Tissot also counts 18-season NBA veteran Tony Parker, Klay Thompson, Damian Lillard and Clint Capela as ambassadors
The new special edition Supersport is a high-performance sports watch, boasting 100 metres of water-resistance and a 1/10 of a second chronograph with add and split function. Its black strap is crafted from black leather and finished with orange corner stitching, a nod to the NBA’s famous black and orange game ball.
With Tissot’s interchangeable strap system, owners can choose from a range of Tissot straps in colours and materials such as leather, silicon or textile. Basketball fans can also tune up their watch with one of the 22 straps that make up the Tissot NBA Strap Collection, pairing their watch to their team, whether that’s the New York Knicks, the Los Angeles Lakers or the Denver Nuggets.
The line also includes the Wilson strap, "crafted from the same leather used to make NBA basketballs."
