Tissot is headed to Austin, Texas to partake in the weekend-long festivities of the Red Bull Circuit of the Americas Grand Prix where it will be showcasing two new limited edition watches it created in collaboration with MotoGP and 2006 world champion Nicky Hayden.
The Swiss watchmaker has had a long-standing relationship with both Hayden and MotoGP. These partnerships have given birth to some pretty incredible watches in the past and from what the two watches look like, Tissot has done it again.
The Tissot T-Race Nicky Hayden 2015 and the Tissot T-Race MotoGP Limited Edition 2015 timepieces will be showcased at the company’s sponsored event, which will be held at the Grand Plaza in the afternoon of April 11, 2015. In addition to launching the pair of limited edition watches, Tissot will also give fans and attendees the chance to meet Nicky Hayden himself!
As far as the watches are concerned, Tissot created two knockout limited editions as per usual. The T-Race Nicky Hayden gets the predictable green treatment, an ode to the team colors of Hayden’s Aspar racing team. The black-and-green combination has a coolness to it, matched only by the striking detail of the T-Race watch that it’s based on. You’ll also notice that Hayden’s famous star emblem is present in the counter at 6 o’clock, around the indices, and on the second hand, further creating that personalized touch that has been a trademark of the 10-year partnership between Tissot and Nicky Hayden. It’s unclear how many pieces of the T-Race Nicky Hayden 2015 Tissot plans on releasing, but at a price of $925, this particular limited edition timepiece will cost you more than a pretty penny.
I don’t normally advocate making impulse purchases of items with hefty price tags, but I would make an exception for the T-Race Nicky Hayden 2015, or you know, the other limited edition timepiece Tissot will present this weekend.
