Tissot will be introducing this new racing watch at Baselworld next week. The smallest chronograph disc is equipped with a three-armed indicator that looks like a steering wheel. It has a chronograph and tachometer function. The case is made of brushed and polished stainless steel. The watch is water-resistant to 100m, it comes with 3 dial options and 3 strap options. No word on price or availability, but it does have a quartz movement, so it should not be too expensive.

Tissot had so much success with their quartz version of the Quadrato, that they had to make an automatic version. It is definitely unique looking, especially the dial. It comes with either a leather strap (pictured) or a stainless steel bracelet, and both come with push-button release. It comes with a domed scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and an exhibition caseback. I do not know the price yet, but the quartz versions cost $500-$600, so expect to pay close to a grand for the auto version. As far as availability I would expect it to be sometime after Baselworld.

Check out this video of the Limited Edition Moto GP wristwatch by Tissot. It comes with a replica MotoGP helmet that is actually the watch case. Inside you will find a medallion for each of the 2007 Moto GP tracks. The medallions can actually be swapped out as the caseback for the MotoGP watch.

I found these images of the new Tissot Quadrato Collection at Europastar. These watches look very cool with their squared shape. The article says the cases are a little over 29mm, but I think this must be a misprint. They look more like 40mm to me, but maybe I am wrong. I could not find them anywhere on the web, so I will contact Tissot for some high-res images.

I am sure this is a very expensive and very nice watch, however it really does not seem like the right type of watch for a racing champion. You would think that Tissot would present a more professional or sporty watch. Swiss watch brand Tissot has been chosen as the sole watch provider for the Driver of the Year Award, a prestigious and highly anticipated award in motor sports. Tissot will award this year’s recipient, 2006 Nascar Nextel Cup Series™ Champion Jimmie Johnson, with a unique 18 carat gold Tissot Sculpture mechanical power reserve timepiece at the annual banquet held at the Motor sports Hall of Fame in Talladega, AL, USA, in April.

MotoGP World Champion 2006 Nicky Hayden with his Tissot MotoGP limited edition watch. He was rookie of the year in 2003 and now at age 25 the Tissot brand ambassador is the champion. Nice job!

Check out this new Tissot T-Touch Trekking model. It has the usual T-Touch functions like thermometer, compass, stop watch, barometer and altimeter. It also features a glare proof scratch resistant T-Touch crystal. The choice of titanium for the case and band was probably best as it makes it lighter and stronger steel and therefore very functional like the rest of the watch.

Check out this new T-Race MotoGP inspired wristwatch collection from Tissot.

Designed around different elements of the mountain bike and the high speed motorcycle, this new watch from Tissot is itself a feat of performance in its ingenious use of the latest technologies in materials and design.

Every element of the watch recalls these two-wheeled sports, from the crown protection and bezel with its slanting ventilation shafts, inspired by the braking discs, to the rubber tire-track bracelet, the speedometer-like counters on the dial and the very material of the case itself in a new synthetic mix high in carbon fiber, the whole held in place by screws reminiscent of those used on the bicycle and motorcycle frame.

A perfect timepiece for biking enthusiasts tuned into these two highly popular sports for which Tissot is Official Timekeeper for all the world championships.

Here is a wacky looking Tissot. I bet it costs at least $500 and I personally think it looks wierd. I would not even pay a hundred bucks for this ugly timepiece.
