Additional photos of this Nicky Hayden Tissot Limited Edition watch are available here for your perusal.
Nicky Hayden was a Tissot ambassador, and the Swiss luxury watchmaker celebrated that fact with annual releases of Limited Edition watches inspired by Nicky and his MotoGP career – they had similar arrangements at the time with Danica Patrick and Michael Owen. 2007 was a special year, as the watch came out right after Nicky’s 2006 MotoGP World Championship.
Here’s what Tissot had to say in their Certificate of Authenticity: “In a world where precision and timing are key, Nicky Hayden, the 2006 MotoGP World Champion, certainly knows the importance of counting every second. no surprise therefore that, as Tissot’s ambassador, a dedicated World Champion signature watch should be created for him, with a carbon-fibre dial and bearing his new 2007 race number “ONE” engraved on the case-back with his signature. This watch is presented in a special helmet box in the same matching orange as Nicky’s characteristic team colour.”
This example is #10,241 out of 11,111.
The sale includes the original box, “helmet” case, International Warranty Service Centers list, carrying bag, User’s Manual, a story of Tissot’s history, and the Certificate of Authenticity. “All labels and protective plastics are still attached. The documentation is complete.”
The seller purchased it from a jewelry store in 2007 and notes that it has never been worn.
Currently located in Tiel, Gelderland, Netherlands, this watch is offered on a Bill of Sale only. The seller estimates that shipping to the continental US will be roughly $60. Have any Nicky stories or questions about this listing? Let us know in the comments!
