“I am really happy and it’s a pleasure to be part of Tissot’s family.” explained Mr Marquez. “I am proud to join this important brand with a large history in the MotoGP Championship.”
“I hope to win more watches hereinafter. I am sure Tissot and I will continue improving and experience many successes together. ”
The brand’s watch to mark the occasion is the Tissot T-Race Limited Edition. The piece sports a fibreglass ring, pushers engraved with start and go and tyre tread marks. The 4999 piece instrument also comes in a helmet presentation box.
