Tissot Supersport watches

The Tissot Supersport is a large sports watch from the Le Locle brand, made as a 45.5 mm chronograph, the Supersport Chrono, and as a 44 mm Supersport without the Chrono name. Tissot, founded in 1853 and part of the Swatch Group, is official timekeeper for the cycling world championships and has kept time for the UCI, and two of the Chronos are named for the Tour de France and the Giro d'Italia.

Tissot describes the Supersport Chrono as an imposing sports chronograph. The steel case is 45.5 mm across and 11.9 mm thick, with an aluminium bezel ring, a fixed tachymeter bezel and a sapphire crystal. Inside is a quartz chronograph with a central 60-second hand, 30-minute and 1/10-second counters, add and split timing, a date and an end-of-life indicator that warns when the battery needs replacing. It is water resistant to 100 m, has Super-LumiNova on the hands and indexes, and takes a 22 mm strap or bracelet through a quick-release system.

The steel Chronos come with black, blue or silver dials. The T125.617.37.051.01 has a PVD-coated case and a black dial, and the Chrono Rose (T125.617.36.051.00) also has a black dial. The event pieces carry the race in the name: the Supersport Chrono Tour de France 2020 (T125.617.17.051.00) and the Supersport Chrono Giro d'Italia (T125.617.37.051.00), both with black dials.

The Supersport is the slimmer watch, 44 mm and 10 mm thick, with a sapphire crystal and black, blue or grey dials. The black-dial version comes as the T125.610.16.051.00, as the T125.610.11.051.00 on a steel bracelet and as the T125.610.17.051.00 on rubber.
