Tissot, the renowned Swiss watchmaker and Official Timekeeper of the National Basketball Association (NBA), has unveiled its latest masterpiece: the Tissot Supersport NBA Special Edition 2025. This timepiece not only celebrates Tissot’s enduring partnership with the NBA but also embodies the brand’s commitment to precision, innovation, and the spirit of basketball.
Since 2015, Tissot has been the Official Timekeeper for the NBA, WNBA, and NBA G League. This partnership has seen the introduction of state-of-the-art shot clocks, exclusive timepieces, and collaborative events that bridge the worlds of horology and basketball. In January 2025, Tissot announced a multiyear extension of this global partnership, reinforcing its dedication to the sport and its fans.
The Tissot Supersport NBA Special Edition 2025 is a testament to Tissot’s craftsmanship and its passion for basketball. Every detail of this watch has been meticulously designed to reflect elements of the game, making it a must-have for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
The watch features a bold 45mm black PVD-coated stainless steel case, exuding strength and durability. The bezel incorporates design cues from the NBA’s 24-second shot clock, with color accents that pay homage to the league’s iconic branding. The dial boasts a basketball dot pattern, creating an illusion of depth and texture reminiscent of a basketball’s surface. Large numerals, inspired by player jerseys, enhance readability and add a sporty flair.
The black bi-material bracelet combines rubber, synthetic materials, and leather, echoing the texture of a basketball. Red and blue stitching accents the strap, further tying the design to the NBA’s signature colors.
A standout feature is the case back, which showcases the NBA logo surrounded by the cities and states of all NBA teams, arranged by conference and latitude. This intricate engraving celebrates the league’s expansive reach and the diverse locales of its teams.
At the heart of the Tissot Supersport NBA Special Edition 2025 is a quartz chronograph movement, ensuring accurate timekeeping with minimal maintenance. The chronograph’s subdials are perfect for timing sprints, drills, or shot attempts, making it a functional tool for athletes and fans. The anti-reflective sapphire crystal ensures optimal visibility, even in bright conditions, and the watch is water-resistant up to 100 meters, making it suitable for various activities.
In conjunction with the watch’s release, Tissot introduced a redesigned, state-of-the-art shot clock. This new shot clock features a distinctive round design inspired by Tissot’s watchmaking heritage. Equipped with full RGB LED light strips, it can illuminate in any color, enhancing game presentation and operations. The advanced technology includes an integrated green signal for coaches’ challenges and an improved user interface for streamlined operation. The new shot clocks will debut in NBA arenas for the 2025-26 season and in the WNBA in 2026.
The Tissot Supersport NBA Special Edition 2025 will be available for purchase exclusively in Tissot Boutiques in France and the U.S., as well as online at Tissot’s official website, starting January 23, 2025. A worldwide rollout is planned for March 2025.

With its thoughtful design, precision engineering, and homage to basketball, this timepiece is a must-have for fans and collectors who appreciate the fusion of sport and horology.
