PR516 Chronograph Watch T1494171105100

The Watch

Tissot is a watchmaking brand that has built its reputation on originality and performance. Each model blends craftsmanship, design, and outstanding quality - staying true to the brand's core values. Sporty in spirit yet precise in execution, these watches deliver flawless timekeeping. This stunning PRS 516 Chronograph T149.417.11.051.00 is no exception, bringing a sleek, elegant edge to any look. A contemporary take on a beloved 1970s design, it features a round case measuring 40 mm in diameter, 12.20 mm thick, and weighing 145 g. Crafted from 316L stainless steel with brushed and polished finishes, it's perfectly suited for men's wrists. A tachymeter bezel in mineral glass in white and black lets you measure the speed of a moving object or person. It frames the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, which shields the dial from impact. The anti-reflective coating ensures optimal legibility. Functions are controlled by a crown at 3 o'clock, flanked by two pushers for chronograph operation. A screw-down caseback delivers a water resistance of 10 ATM.

The Dial

This watch features a stunning dial that perfectly highlights its sporty character. Against a black background, white indicators create a bold contrast. A fine minute track runs along the perimeter for added precision. Applied baton indices mark the hours, pointed by two baton hands indicating hours and minutes. The three sub-dials at 2, 6, and 10 o'clock bring the chronograph function to life, measuring 1/10th of a second, 60 seconds, and 30 minutes respectively. Both hands and indices are treated with Superluminova for legibility in low-light conditions. The brand signs its name at 12 o'clock, with the "Swiss Made" mention at 6 o'clock.

The Movement

Powering this model is a Swiss-made quartz movement - the caliber G10.212 Powerdrive, fitted with 4 jewels and measuring 29.80 mm in diameter. Equipped with a battery end-of-life indicator, it ensures the hands and counters keep running reliably. It features a stop-seconds/stop-motor device and incorporates split-time (ADD) and intermediate time (SPLIT) functions. Powered by a Renata 394 battery, it delivers an autonomy of 38 hours.

The Bracelet

Tissot fitted this model with a beautiful 316L stainless steel bracelet in grey, harmonizing perfectly with the case. Made up of three rows of brushed and polished links, it wraps the wrist with a precise, comfortable fit. Interchangeable and easy to open, it features a deployant clasp with safety lock and pushers for a secure hold. The lug width is 20 mm.

Water Resistance

This model offers a water resistance of 10 atmospheres, or 100 meters - making it a genuinely water-resistant watch. Its sporty character means it's ready to follow you into any aquatic adventure. From puddles to the pool, this timepiece handles swimming without complaint. Shower, bath, and casual swim? No problem. That said, the Ocarat watchmaking experts note that while this model is water-resistant, it is not designed for diving (recreational or professional) and should be kept away from high-pressure cleaning equipment. We also recommend not operating the crown or pushers while the watch is submerged.
