Basel 2011: Tissot Racing-Touch
This is the new Tissot Racing-Touch which will be unveiled next week at Baselworld 2011. Like all "T-Touch" watches, the Racing-Touch allows the wearer to control multiple functions via the tactile scratch-resistant sapphire crystal touchscreen. Just press the "T" button at 3 o'clock to activate the touch mode and then press the crystal above the corresponding function that you would like to utilize (11 functions available). Some of the functions include: a chronograph, lap timer, compass, tide indicator, timer and alarm.
The Racing-Touch comes in a number of variations, including the orange and steel version and black and steel version (shown) above, as well as a white themed model for women.
The case is anti-magnetic 316L stainless steel with a rotating bezel. The straps are black rubber, 316L steel, or orange and white silicone. Water-resistance is 100 meters/ 330 ft.
