Even more impressive than the company’s role itself is the measures which Tissot takes to uphold its responsibility as the official timekeeper for this sporting event.

The Tissot T-Race Cycling Tour de France 2022 Special Edition watch is powered by a reliable quartz movement and features a clean crisp dial that is in keeping with some of this equipment. The watch also features a battery life indicator, a date window and clear chronograph counters to record elapsed time effectively.
The Tissot T-Race Cycling Tour de France 2022 Special Edition watch is a chronograph model with ADD and SPLIT functions, whilst its black PVD-coated stainless steel bodywork donates a very futuristic and sporty aesthetic to the wrist. With a three-time Vuelta winner and an Olympic champion as its ambassador (Primož Roglič), Tissot manages to shine the spotlight on all the chronograph’s most impressive features. In doing so it ticks so many boxes for sports watch enthusiasts.
