April 15, 2024 - Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) News Release
SWITZERLAND - In celebration of the exponential growth of the women's game, Tissot, Wilson and the WNBA announced today their collaboration on two new limited-edition watches, marking the first official watch in league history. The creation of the two new 40mm Tissot Seastar Wilson® WNBA watches highlight the Swiss watchmaking and timekeeping expertise of Tissot, Wilson's innovative and official WNBA basketball, as well as the cultural influence of the WNBA.
A New Watch Collection Created for WNBA Fans and Basketball Fanatics
The first-of-its-kind Tissot Seastar Wilson® WNBA Powermatic 80 and Tissot Seastar Wilson® WNBA Quartz encompasses special features tailored to the most enthusiastic fans in basketball, including:
Distinct white and orange details, recognized globally as the brand identity of the WNBA
The watches come with interchangeable orange and white straps, produced from Wilson's Official Basketball of the WNBA, Evo-NXT Premium Composite Material
The straps can be swapped out by simply clipping out and clipping in - no visits to the jeweller or tool required. This flexible, high-comfort approach to watch design is a key element in delivering versatility and usability
In connection with Tissot's ownership as the official timekeeper of the NBA and WNBA shot clocks - the rotating bezels incorporates the 24-second basketball shot clock time
Tissot, Wilson, and the WNBA are all featured on the case back, which features a WNBA Wilson® basketball
The Next Edition of the World Renowned Tissot Seastar
One of Tissot's most notable collections gets a special treatment. The collaboration proudly complements the Seastar range, introducing a specially designed edition within the existing 40mm models. This new edition features two exclusive models: one powered by the Powermatic 80 movement, offering the allure and esteemed mechanics associated with automatic watches, and the other by a high-quality Swiss Made quartz movement, known for its precision and reliability.
The Powermatic version is distinguished by its black circular brushed dial and mineral bezel, in contrast to the quartz model, which features these elements in white.
The watches are ideal for those seeking a sporty yet assertive accessory that ensures technical superiority. The Seastar name reflects their water resistance up to 30 bar (300 meters/1,000 feet), with enhanced visibility in low-light conditions provided by Super-LumiNova® on the hands and hour markers.
