The Swiss watchmaker Tissot has been the Official Timekeeper of MotoGP since 2001, monitoring riders with 1/1000th of a second precision. They’ve made annual Limited Edition watches to celebrate that fact, and today we have an example from the 2006 run. Here’s what Tissot had to say in their Certificate of Authenticity: “The constant search for innovation is particularly noticeable this year, with a bright yellow structured rubber bracelet and stylized brake-disk bezel with carbon-fiber dial, makes this year’s MotoGP limited edition a timepiece to look out for. The case-back is engraved with a motorbike counter and the official MotoGP logo as well as the limited edition number (out of a total of 6,002 pieces).”
“The watch is then presented in a special helmet box in the same matching yellow with the 17 different MotoGP circuits displayed around the watch. New this year too, the 17 engraved medallions can be interchanged on the case-back of the watch, using a specially designed tool, provided with each watch purchased, which allows the watch to remain perfectly water resistant.”
This example is #1,932 out of 6,002.
The sale includes the original box and helmet case.
