TISSOT, the Swiss watch brand founded in 1853 and the official timekeeper of the NBA, has announced the new "TISSOT Supersport NBA," a model inspired by technical sportswear and by the influence basketball has had on fashion and culture.
The watch features details that subtly reflect the world of the NBA, including a sandblasted steel case and a monochrome gray color scheme. With a modern, refined look that carries a deep connection to basketball, it expresses the partnership between TISSOT and the NBA in a new form.
A New Visual Expression
Wrapped in a sleek, streamlined design that symbolizes today's sports scene, the "TISSOT Supersport NBA" is powered by the Swiss-made quartz chronograph "G10" movement and offers precise chronograph functions.
Everything from the dial to the strap is unified in monochrome gray, giving the watch a design that balances strength and calm. The matte, sandblasted steel case, bezel, and pushers emphasize its modern look, while the gray rubber strap completes a sporty and refined style.
With the world of the NBA subtly built into the design, the timepiece is made to stand out both on and off the court.
Design That Reflects the World of Basketball
Details inspired by basketball appear throughout the design. The dial has white lines reminiscent of the markings on a basketball court, and the date window takes its shape from the key area under the basket.
The NBA logo on the seconds hand stands out at the center of the dial. It is a detail unique to this edition and symbolizes the partnership with the NBA. The bezel framing the dial is marked up to 24 seconds, a tribute to the "24-second rule," one of the defining rules of basketball.
The connection to the NBA also extends to the back of the watch. The special case back is engraved with markings referencing the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference. With the essence of basketball incorporated down to the finest detail, the design reflects the deep ties with the NBA.

TISSOT and the NBA Partnership
TISSOT and the NBA have shared a passion for precision, performance, and innovation for more than 10 years.
Since the partnership was signed in 2015, TISSOT has served as the official timekeeper of the NBA, WNBA, and NBA G League, supporting accurate timekeeping in a sport where tiny differences in time can decide a possession, a game, or even the outcome of an entire season.
Over time, the partnership has grown beyond simple timekeeping into something that supports the basketball experience itself. Through shot clock technology, dedicated timepieces, and collaborations with top athletes in the basketball world, TISSOT has extended its presence not only to the play on the court but also to the culture surrounding basketball.
Global Partnership
The partnership between TISSOT and the NBA connects with fans around the world through a variety of initiatives. TISSOT is the presenting partner of the NBA Paris Game, a co-partner of the NBA China Games, and a partner of BUDX NBA House in India, taking part in major NBA events held outside North America.
Through these initiatives, TISSOT creates opportunities for fans to engage with the NBA in new ways and brings the appeal of basketball closer to them. The activities spreading around the world, from Paris to Shanghai to Mumbai, symbolize basketball's global influence and the shared passion that connects fans across countries and regions.
Precision in Action
Time is marked in every moment of basketball. From the tip-off that starts a game to the buzzer that ends it, accurate timekeeping creates the rhythm of the game and is a key element supporting every split-second decision made on the court.
The latest-generation NBA timekeeping system and TISSOT's new shot clock feature a distinctive circular design, an integrated display for coach's challenges, and a full RGB LED light strip. Combining high functionality with visual impact, the system allows flexible operation in arenas while giving players, referees, and fans alike a higher-quality viewing experience.
A new user interface also enables faster, more intuitive operation, supporting the speed and precision demanded by modern basketball and continuing to keep accurate time for every moment on the court.
Basketball Ambassadors
The partnership is embodied by athletes who have shown, through their careers, the "dedication," "discipline," and "consistency that endures over time" shared by basketball and watchmaking.
TISSOT's NBA ambassadors include Tony Parker, Damian Lillard, Yang Hansen, and the brothers Moritz and Franz Wagner. Yuki Kawamura, who is taking on the challenge of the NBA, serves as the Japan Ambassador.
Each brings new value to the partnership between TISSOT and the NBA through their own story.
From NBA legends and top stars to players who will lead the next generation, they embody the diverse appeal of basketball, continuing to pursue their goals through their own paths, ambitions, and experiences.
