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 example is #1,594/11,111. It was originally sold in the Netherlands in 2007. The seller (FJ watches) acquired it from the first owner. He’s worked with Iconic on a number of watch sales and states that this example “has practically lived its life in the box and has been worn only a handful of times.”
Please note: The strap has been cut so that it will fit a 7.3-inch wrist. Per the seller, a new aftermarket orange strap is available should you need a bigger size.
The sale includes the original helmet box, original outer box, the drawstring bag, all of the original booklets, as well as the certificate of authenticity.
Cosmetic Blemishes: please see the album up top for all known cosmetic blemishes. Here is a selection:
“The condition is excellent, almost as good as new with a few very minor wear signs. But overall a 95/100. The battery is brand new and the watch is ready to go.”
