Tissot Releases New NBA Supersport Chronograph

Tissot has launched a new special edition Supersport NBA 2026 chronograph, extending its ongoing partnership with the National Basketball Association (NBA). This latest timepiece, which serves as a continuation of Tissot's role as the NBA's Official Timekeeper since 2015, departs from previous models that often featured overt team colors. Instead, the Supersport NBA 2026 adopts a sophisticated monochromatic grey palette, drawing inspiration from contemporary sportswear trends. The watch's 42mm case, bezel, and pushers are constructed from sandblasted stainless steel, providing a matte, industrial aesthetic that is echoed across the grey dial and the accompanying rubber strap. This design choice contributes to a more streamlined and modern character compared to earlier basketball-themed iterations of the Supersport line.

Subtle yet distinct references to basketball are woven into the watch's design. The dial features white dashed markings that evoke the lines of a basketball court, and the date aperture is shaped to resemble the painted key area found beneath the basket. A prominent NBA Logoman is integrated onto the central chronograph seconds hand, adding a direct nod to the league. The bezel eschews a traditional timing scale in favor of a 24-second display, a direct reference to the NBA's shot clock rules. The thematic elements extend to the caseback, which is engraved with an NBA emblem that references both the Eastern and Western Conferences. The watch is equipped with a scratch-resistant, anti-reflective sapphire crystal and features Super-LumiNova on its hands and hour markers for enhanced legibility in low light conditions. It also comes with an interchangeable quick-release grey rubber strap, offering versatility for the wearer.

Internally, the Tissot Supersport NBA 2026 is powered by the Swiss-made G10 quartz chronograph movement. This movement is chosen to maintain a focus on straightforward precision and reliable everyday functionality, aligning with Tissot's reputation for accessible and dependable timekeeping. The new Supersport NBA 2026 is being offered as a special edition and is available for purchase through Tissot's official boutiques and its online store. The retail price for this special edition chronograph is set at $525 USD. This release underscores Tissot's commitment to its long-standing relationship with the sport of basketball, offering fans a stylish and functional timepiece that subtly celebrates the game.
