Tissot Pinarello Special Edition 43 mm COSC Automatic Carbon Composite [T162.408.97.061.00]
TissotThe Tissot Pinarello Special Edition [T162.408.97.061.00] represents one of the most technically distinctive sports watches in the modern Tissot lineup — merging Swiss horological engineering with the aerodynamic performance DNA of legendary Italian cycling manufacturer Pinarello.
Created as the first official collaboration between the two brands, the watch embodies a shared commitment to precision, innovation, lightweight performance, and purposeful design. The result is a highly modern Swiss automatic sports watch that feels equally at home on the wrist of a cycling enthusiast, motorsport-inspired collector, or contemporary luxury sports watch wearer.
The forged carbon composite case immediately sets the watch apart. Inspired directly by the ultra-lightweight materials used in elite Pinarello racing bicycles, the asymmetrical case architecture features a unique silhouette with the crown positioned at 10 o’clock — a direct reference to the aerodynamic shaping found on Pinarello fork structures. The watch measures 43.14 mm across from 3 to 9 o’clock while maintaining a more wearable 40 mm vertical profile, giving the piece a highly distinctive and performance-oriented stance on the wrist.
The textured grey dial takes inspiration from asphalt and modern racing materials, delivering a technical monochromatic appearance enhanced by black-nickel indexes filled with Super-LumiNova®. Facetted groove-finished hands create subtle light play, while the striking blue “P”-shaped seconds hand references Pinarello’s signature Borealis colour expression and adds a subtle burst of energy to the otherwise stealth-inspired aesthetic.
Powering the watch is the COSC-certified Powermatic 80 automatic movement featuring a Nivachron™ balance spring for enhanced resistance to magnetic fields and temperature variation. Delivering up to 80 hours of power reserve, the movement combines Swiss chronometer-grade accuracy with robust everyday reliability and modern anti-magnetic performance. The movement remains visible through the exhibition case back, reinforcing the enthusiast-oriented character of the watch.
The Tissot Pinarello Special Edition is presented with an interchangeable quick-release strap system and exclusive collector presentation box, allowing the watch to transition seamlessly between active performance use and refined everyday wear.
For collectors seeking a modern Swiss luxury sports watch with genuine technical innovation, motorsport-inspired architecture, and highly distinctive design language, the Tissot Pinarello Special Edition stands among the most compelling collaborative releases in the current Tissot lineup.
