tissot pr50 moonphase review

A Tissot watch was collected as a prize alongside the International Motorsports Hall of Fame Driver of the Year Trophy by drag racer Tony Schumacher last week.Schumacher, who races for the US Army National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) Top Fuel team, won the 2008 Driver of the Year in Talladega Alabama.He is the third NHRA driver to win the award, after John Force captured the award in 1996.Schumacher said: "While we've already turned the page to the 2009 season, it's nice to be able to reflect on what was truly a historic season."When I look back to last year, I feel blessed I was part of such a great team. I'm not sure we'll ever see that kind of dominance again in drag racing."Tissot watches were recently mentioned alongside another award, when Ryan Newman picked up the NASCAR Sprint Cup Tissot Pit Road Precision award earlier this month.

Tissot T-Navigator Automatic ChronographJust like the «ordinary» Tissot T-Navigator that we have already briefly reviewed today, the new Tissot T-Navigator automatic chronograph watch might have become a gorgeous aviator’s watch if not that PVD-treated bezel.On the other hand the new chronograph looks somewhat better than the simple three-hander.Thanks to so much white elements on its busy dial, the black and white bezel doesn’t seem so overcrowded and even makes the watch look more like an instrument from a real cockpit.Like the new Tissot Seastar 1000 automatic diving watch, the new T-Navigator chrono is powered by the new ETA caliber C01.211 self-winding movement.Although the caliber has some plastic parts in its structure, I didn’t hear about any problems with reliability. In fact, some pretty popular movements, like the now-discontinued Lemania 5100 caliber and earlier versions of ETA 7750 movement, had plastic parts in them and were considered robust and reliable.Well, time will tell.According to the Swiss watchmaker, the new timekeeper will be sold either on an impressive-looking, massive stainless steel bracelet or on a rubber strap and will retail at a pretty much affordable price of $1095 to $1150 USD.
