Originally introduced in 2009 with a quartz movement, the Tissot Veloci-T Chronograph is also available in an automatic mechanical version.
The Veloci-T comes in a stainless steel case measuring 42 mm in diameter by 14.89 mm in height. The case is brushed, with polished accents on the crown, pushers and lug edges. The pushers are rectangular shaped with black textured inserts, which add to the overall race inspired design.

For the 10th consecutive year, Tissot is "The Official Timekeeper of MotoGP," the fastest and most prestigious motorcycle racing circuit in the world. In MotoGP, the world's most elite motorcycle riders race insanely fast superbikes around the track in excess of 200 mph. Needless to say, timing motorcycles with this kind of speed and acceleration requires a highly accurate timekeeping system.

At the 2011 Laguna Seca MotoGP race this past weekend, I had a chance to briefly review the new Tissot PRS516 Black Carbon Automatic sport watch. Plus, the lovely Tissot MotoGP girls were kind enough to model the new timepiece for PW readers.

Tissot just released this preview of a new special edition of the Tissot Couturier GMT Michael Owen. Its design integrates black, white and red, the home and away colours of Michael Owen's soccer team (the Manchester United Football Club) and will be made in a quantity of 4,999 pieces worldwide. It also features Michael Owens lucky number seven, framing his signature on the case back. Aesthetically, this version of the Tissot Couturier GMT is different from the original Couturier GMT collection, however, the dimensions and quartz movement are the same as on previous versions. That's not a bad thing, though. This means you not only get a second time zone display, but also a chronograph. And on top of that, the second time zone display is set by pushers, as opposed to a crown, which means all you have to do is tap the either of the pushers to move the second time zone hour hand forward or backward. Controlling the second time zone with pushers makes it much easier to change time zones on the fly, a definite convenience for a frequent international traveler.

Like all "T-Touch" watches, the Racing-Touch allows the wearer to control multiple functions via the tactile scratch-resistant sapphire crystal touchscreen.
