Tissot Ambassador Nicky Hayden

2009 sees the start of a new chapter for Nicky Hayden. After 9 years racing with Honda, Nicky will be joining the Ducati MotoGP racing team. It remains to be seen whether that will help Nicky to be at the front in 2009, but we wish Nicky all the best in his new adventure!

Marking Nicky Hayden’s fourth year as a Tissot ambassador, his 2009 watch reflects the unique mix of precision and adrenalin that makes up the world of MotoGP. Red, the colour symbolizing energy, sets the pace for this dynamic new timepiece, which is teamed with racetrack inspired elements in carbon and stainless steel, drawing parallels between precision engineering and precision timekeeping. The Tissot 2009 T-Race Nicky Hayden promises to win a proud following, but only the first 4,999 fans will be able to get their hands on this limited edition.

Official MotoGP Timekeeper Tissot brings motor racing icons together for the first time.

For more than half a century, Tissot has formed a strong link to the world of motor racing events by being involved in sports such as Formula 1, IndyCar Series, MotoGP and NASCAR. The parallel that both the watch brand and motor sports share is a mutual passion for precision, performance and leading technology. Two of the most recognizable names in the world of motorsports are the IndyCar Series Star Danica Patrick and superstar MotoGP Racer Nicky Hayden. Besides being fierce competitors on either four wheels or two, these two athletes also share another common bond. They are both brand ambassadors for the leading watch brand Tissot. To celebrate the historic return to IMS (Indianapolis Motor Speedway), Tissot arranged for a fitting opportunity for its two ambassadors to meet each other for the first time at the track that means much to both of them.
