Blue is the color that makes the T-Race feel at home both in the paddock and at the dinner table. Reference T141.417.11.041.00 pairs Tissot’s motorcycle-inspired chronograph case with a blue dial that reads sportier than silver and warmer than black, a sweet spot for anyone who wants one watch to cover most of the week.

Tissot calls the T-Race the gentleman biker’s watch, and the details back that up. Look at the bezel and you’ll see the outline of a brake disc gripped by a caliper; the pushers are shaped like handlebar ends, and fins run down the case sides like an engine’s cooling ribs. The redesign gave the dial a calmer layout, so the motorsport cues stay on the case where they belong.

The quartz chronograph is genuinely useful: it measures to a tenth of a second, totals up to 30 minutes, and its ADD and SPLIT functions let you add several intervals together or freeze an intermediate time, handy for lap times, workouts or the commute.
