The New Tissot Pinarello Special Edition Channels The Spirit Of The Road
Tissot continues to strengthen its long-standing relationship with professional cycling with the launch of the new Tissot Pinarello Special Edition, a timepiece developed in collaboration with the renowned Italian bicycle manufacturer Pinarello.

As one of the most recognized names in competitive cycling, Pinarello brings a rich motorsport-inspired design language to this special release, which translates directly into the watch’s architecture, materials, and visual identity.
A Case Inspired by High-Performance Bike Frames
The standout feature of the Tissot Pinarello Special Edition is its 42 mm forged carbon case, a material choice directly linked to the world of professional road bikes. Widely used in high-end bicycle frames for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, forged carbon gives the watch a modern technical appearance while keeping the overall weight low.

Its case design also adopts an asymmetrical profile, adding a dynamic and aerodynamic look that reflects the engineering philosophy found in Pinarello’s racing bicycles. One of the most distinctive elements is the crown positioned at 10 o’clock, an unconventional placement that immediately sets this model apart from more traditional sports watches.
This design cue references the aerodynamic forms used in Pinarello’s advanced bike forks, further reinforcing the connection between the two brands.
Protecting the dial is a box-shaped sapphire crystal, which enhances depth and improves scratch resistance. The watch is also built for active use, offering 100 meters of water resistance.
Dial Design with Motorsport and Road Inspiration
The dial continues the cycling-inspired theme with a grey textured surface that evokes the appearance of asphalt, creating a direct visual link to the road.
Applied black-nickel baton hour markers are paired with Super-LumiNova, ensuring strong legibility in low-light conditions. The hands follow the same sporty design language, delivering a clean and functional display.

Branding remains discreet, with Tissot choosing a more refined approach for this collaboration. Rather than placing prominent co-branding on the dial, Pinarello’s presence is integrated through subtle details, including a counterweight on the seconds hand shaped like the letter “P”, along with engravings on the case flank and caseback.
COSC-Certified Powermatic 80 Movement
Inside, the watch is powered by Tissot’s well-known Powermatic 80 automatic movement, visible through the transparent sapphire caseback.
This caliber operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour (3Hz) and delivers an impressive 80-hour power reserve, making it highly practical for daily wear.

The movement also benefits from a Nivachron hairspring, which improves resistance to magnetic fields and helps maintain long-term precision. Additionally, it features a hacking seconds function, allowing for precise time-setting.
A major highlight is its COSC chronometer certification, confirming that the movement meets the strict accuracy standards established by the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute.
Versatile Strap Options
Tissot pairs the watch with an integrated rubber strap, perfectly matching its sporty personality and performance-driven aesthetic.
For added versatility, the watch includes an additional leather strap, allowing owners to quickly switch to a more refined look. Thanks to the quick-release system, changing straps can be done in seconds without tools.
Price and Availability
The Tissot Pinarello Special Edition is priced at CHF 1,355, positioning it as an attractive proposition for enthusiasts of both Swiss watchmaking and professional cycling.

This launch is further complemented by a matching special-edition Pinarello bicycle, offered as part of an exclusive package, underlining the depth of this collaboration.
