Swiss watch brand TISSOT [Tissot], founded in 1853, has built a deep relationship with cycling, a sport that demands constant challenge and split-second precision, for decades. Tissot began building relationships with the cycling world even before establishing official partnerships in the sport, offering prizes to outstanding athletes in events such as the 'Melaha Circuit' in Tripoli and the 'Six Days Race' in Madrid in the 1960s.
In the late 1980s, Tissot entered into a partnership with A.S.O.*, serving as the official timekeeper for the 'Tour de France' and 'Grand Prix des Nations' organized by the company from 1988 to 1992. This partnership was strengthened again in 2016 and continues to this day.
Furthermore, in 1995, Tissot initiated a partnership with the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI). By serving as the official timekeeper for multiple World Championships across disciplines such as road, track, mountain bike, and BMX, Tissot has further expanded its commitment to cycling.
Against this backdrop of a long-standing journey with the cycling world and the deep connection fostered through watchmaking, Tissot has now announced the 'PR100 Tour de France 2026 Special Edition' and the 'PR100 Cycling Edition'.

Showcasing Performance – PR100 Tour de France 2026 Special Edition
The 'PR100 Tour de France 2026 Special Edition' is a special timepiece for fans watching the excitement of the race, reflecting the elements required for cycling: high legibility, excellent durability, and precise timekeeping performance.
The 40mm black PVD sandblasted case delivers a powerful and sophisticated impression on the wrist. The case, with its sandblasted finish highlighting high technical skill, is subtly linked to the world's premier race with the 'Tour de France' logo engraved on the case back. Additionally, the sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating ensures excellent legibility in all lighting conditions.
The dial features an asphalt-like texture, inspired by the roads that serve as the stage for the race. Furthermore, a pulsometer scale is arranged around the outer edge, emphasizing its identity as a sports watch. The seconds hand, with its gradient transitioning from yellow to black, symbolizing the Tour de France, adds a dynamic accent.
An interchangeable strap is included, allowing you to enjoy it with various styles, from active scenes to daily life. The textile strap combining black and yellow enhances its sporty appeal, while the all-black rubber strap offers a more subdued impression. The quick-change system allows for easy strap replacement without tools.
In addition to the iconic coloring of the event, it is housed in a special 'Tour de France' themed box, adorned with motifs of legendary mountain passes that have graced the history of cycling.

Bringing the dynamism of the race into everyday life – PR100 Cycling Edition 34mm & 40mm
The 'PR100 Cycling Edition' expresses the charm of cycling from a different perspective than the tension and exhilaration of racing, reinterpreting the functional beauty of cycling and incorporating its dynamism into everyday life.
Available in two sizes, 34mm and 40mm, the 'PR100 Cycling Edition' fuses sporty inspiration with a clean and refreshing style under a unified design concept. The dial is engraved with a motif of a bicycle chainring, and the flange features a bicycle silhouette, expressing the mechanics and constant motion of cycling.
Additionally, a pulsometer scale is located on the outer edge of the dial, allowing for easy measurement of heart rate by counting pulses using the seconds hand. This is a practical function not only for sports but also for daily life.
While both models share common design codes, they each express a distinct personality. The 34mm model incorporates yellow gold PVD as an accent on the hands and indices, creating an elegant contrast and a glamorous presence. In contrast, the 40mm model is unified in silver-tone, giving it a sporty and robust appearance. Furthermore, light gray and white fabric straps add a light and modern impression, completing the sophisticated design.
