Tissot unveils a commemorative Baku 2015 watch

The Swiss watchmaker, official timekeeper of the first European Games, taking place in Baku, Azerbaijan from June 12 to June 18, has created a sports timepiece in the spirit of the event: the Tissot Quickster Baku Special Edition.

Tissot has chosen to celebrate its partnership with the 2015 European Games by creating a casual sports watch that reflects the colors and symbols of the multi-sport event in which some 6,000 athletes from 50 European countries will participate.

With this special edition timepiece, the Swiss watchmaker is also paying tribute to sports in general, so it's no surprise that the watch includes certain "sporty" touches such as a monochrome dial that resembles an athletic stopwatch.

The watch, built in Switzerland, comes equipped with a quartz movement in a 42mm stainless steel casing silk-printed with the esteemed Baku 2015 logo.

This special edition is available with one of two synthetic bracelets: the first is a cloth strap striped in the colors of the 2015 Games, and the second, a sleek black for a more traditional look.

The "Tissot Quickster Baku Special Edition" is available for purchase starting at €415.

€1 = $1.11/£0.73
