Supersport NBA 2025 Watch T1256173706700

The Watch

On the occasion of 2 NBA games held in Paris in January 2025, Tissot introduces this new Supersport NBA 2025 watch. It immerses us in the dynamic, accessible world of modern watchmaking. Built around a round case measuring 45.50 mm in diameter, it makes a bold statement on the wrist. Crafted in 316L steel - a material prized for its strength and corrosion resistance - the case weighs 120 g, ensuring optimal stability and comfort when worn. Its brushed steel finish adds a touch of sophistication while retaining a sporty character. The watch's sapphire crystal, renowned for its hardness and scratch resistance, benefits from an anti-reflective coating for perfect dial visibility in any lighting. The controls include a crown for time setting and two pushers to activate the chronograph functions, combining practicality with aesthetic appeal.

The Dial

The dial of this timepiece is truly exceptional. Its guilloché finish in black draws inspiration from the texture of a basketball, capturing the watch's sporting spirit. Luminescent indices and a detailed minute track run along the dial's circumference for quick, easy readability at any moment. The hands, coated in SuperLuminova, emit a harmonious glow in the dark for flawless time reading day or night. A total of three sub-dials adorn the dial: a 1/10th-second counter, a 30-minute counter, and a small seconds counter, complemented by a date window for a complete and practical feature set. The dial is well protected by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, ensuring both elegance and durability. Additional tributes to this iconic sport are found throughout the watch. For example, the seconds hand of this analog display bears the NBA logo at its base, the numerical indices mirror those on players' jerseys, and the bezel integrates the 24-second rule inspired by the NBA shot clock while also displaying the league's colors. Finally, the case back is decorated with engravings featuring the NBA logo as well as, around its perimeter, the names of the cities and states after which the league's teams are named - representing both the Eastern and Western Conferences.

The Movement

At the heart of this watch beats a Swiss quartz movement, a true benchmark for precision and reliability. Made by ETA, it uses the caliber G10.212 - a movement that has proven its worth in terms of robustness and longevity. This caliber, powered by a battery, features an end-of-life indicator so your watch will never leave you in the dark. It delivers the essential functions of a chronograph for precise elapsed time tracking, plus date display.

The Strap

The strap of this watch is a true statement of style and functionality. Crafted in black grained leather, it perfectly complements the texture of a basketball, reinforcing the overall sporting theme. Its lug width is 22 mm - a generous dimension that ensures a comfortable, confident fit on the wrist. The red and blue stitching visible on the leather adds an aesthetic element while reinforcing the strap's overall durability. The watch fastens with a black pin buckle, combining ease of use with security.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance rated at 10 ATM, this sports watch is more than just a style statement - it's built to handle the rigors of water. This means the watch can accompany its wearer through various aquatic activities, such as swimming and light water sports, without compromising performance. This is achieved through a solidly constructed case and an effective gasket system that prevents water infiltration even under pressure.
