MANILA, Philippines - The iconic motorracing-inspired collection secures additional pole positions on the style circuit.
New models in the unique Tissot V8 collection fuel nostalgia with high-tech looks and performance. Three bold chronographs confidently take their positions on the Tissot product “grid” with their dashboard-inspired counters and tachymeter bezels. Large-sized stainless steel cases protect dials in black, blue or white, with subtle dial detail in either red or yellow in speedometer style. Tissot has a long-standing relationship with the world of motor sport and the Tissot V8 watches are the perfect expression of performance that lasts.
Revving up in style
The new Tissot V8 watches will appeal to the wearer looking for a timeless chronograph with contemporary attitude. Classically positioned counters are punctuated by clearly marked digits at 12, 4 and 8 o’clock in a modern typeface. The bezel of each variation has the same color as the background of its dial. The black and white dials have touches of red for key markings. Yellow contrasts with the blue background color. A stainless steel bracelet complements the blue and black dials, while the white face is finished off with a matching stitched leather strap.
Precision timekeeping
A precision Swiss-made movement forms the faithful signature of the Tissot V8 family. The chronograph functionality integrates 30 minute, 60 second and 10th second counters, as well as add and split functions. It also has a date display window at the 3 o’clock position. Contrasting with the smoothly finished push buttons is a crown with an easy-grip, grooved surface and a subtle “T” on its top. The new Tissot V8 models will appeal to wearers with a good dose of adrenalin in their lifestyles and zero tolerance of missing out on the action.
The watch has Swiss-made quartz chronograph movement; water resistance to 100 meters / 330 feet (10 ATM); scratch-resistant sapphire crystal; 316L stainless steel case (42.5 mm diameter); 316L stainless steel bracelet with safety clasp; and leather strap with standard buckle.
