Tissot, the National Basketball Association (NBA), Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) and NBA G League have announced a 10-year extension of their global partnerships that began in 2015.
The renewed relationship sees the introduction of a redesigned, state-of-the-art shot clock and timing system, celebrated with a new NBA Supersport 2025 Special Edition watch.
This bold and sporty timepiece celebrates the energy and precision of basketball, offering a unique fusion of Swiss craftsmanship and basketball-inspired design.
With a diameter of 45mm, the Supersport NBA Special Edition features a robust black PVD-coated stainless steel case.
The bezel is a standout feature, incorporating elements from the NBA’s iconic 24-second shot clock rule, with vibrant color accents representing the league.
The dial, crafted to evoke the shape and texture of a basketball, showcases a unique dot pattern with a gradient fade from dark grey to black. This creates depth, mirroring the curvature of a basketball and adding an immersive visual effect.
Numeral indexes, inspired by players’ jersey numbers, further link the timepiece to the game, while the NBA logo on the second hand serves as a nod to the sport’s prestigious heritage.
The watch’s bi-material bracelet combines rubber, synthetic materials, and leather, designed to echo the feel of a basketball. The textured strap, finished with red and blue threads, offers comfort and durability, making it ideal for everyday wear and physical activities.
Powered by a reliable quartz chronograph movement, the Tissot Supersport NBA Special Edition allows for precise timekeeping with features such as hours, minutes, seconds, and date functions.
The chronograph’s subdials enable accurate interval timing, perfect for workouts, drills, or timed activities, while the anti-reflective glass ensures maximum clarity even in bright light conditions.
The caseback is also noteworthy, with intricate engravings of the NBA logo, surrounded by the names of cities and states from both the Western and Eastern Conferences, arranged by latitude. This attention to detail celebrates the global reach of the NBA.
The Tissot Supersport NBA Special Edition is available now in Tissot boutiques and online in France and the USA, with a global release scheduled for March.
