Tissot trims the Supersport NBA chronograph for 2026, giving NBA fans a watch that feels easier to wear day to day. It now measures 42 mm instead of 45.5 mm, and the all-grey finish replaces the older blacked-out look.
The 24-second shot-clock bezel keeps the league tie-in visible at a glance, while quick-release bars on the rubber strap make the monochrome setup easier to swap. Those details keep the piece sporty without locking it into a full game-day outfit. It still reads clearly as a basketball watch.
At AUD $775, it undercuts last year's edition while replacing the larger 2025 model. That lower price, along with the drop from 120 g to 96 g, gives Tissot a less bulky NBA watch for buyers who liked the theme more than the old heft.
