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 2014 run. Here’s what Tissot had to say in their Certificate of Authenticity: “The Tissot T-Race MotoGP Limited Edition 2014 shows all the signs of the great synergy between Tissot and MotoGP. Black and red, it bears the colors of MotoGP and of Tissot, showing their dynamism and the fiery passion that they both carry. Furthermore, it has the precision that the Official Timekeeper provides during the exhilarating races, as motorbikes are separated by only thousandths of a second at the finish line, and the one that the racers themselves demonstrate on the track. The TISSOT T-RACE MotoGP LIMITED EDITION 2014 comes in a helmet presentation box, worthy of the collector’s item that it is. There are only 8’888 of these watches. So you better get a head start if you are hoping to get a grip on one of them.”

The stainless steel case measures 45mm in diameter and will fit wrists up to 8.5 inches. It features a carbon fibre dial, a second time zone GMT hand, and a quartz movement with sapphire glass.

This example is #3,991 out of 8,888. The seller (FJ Watches) has worked with Iconic multiple times. He states that the watch is in “very good, unworn condition, with small hair lines on the watch here and there, like on the case and buckle.”

The sale includes the watch, the original helmet box, authenticity certificate, and paperwork, as well as the original drawstring bag.
