Chronograph Watch PR516

The Watch

Tissot is a prestigious Swiss watchmaker renowned for producing high-quality, customizable timepieces at scale. The brand crafts sophisticated watches powered by meticulously engineered movements, spanning both automatic and quartz models - earning it a place among the world's top watchmakers. The PR516 collection is a treasure trove of exceptional pieces, including this stunning Chronograph watch T149.417.22.051.00. It features a round case crafted from 316L stainless steel with a refined brushed finish - a perfect complement for any man who wants to stand out. The case measures 40 mm in diameter, 12.20 mm thick, and weighs 145 g. The case is fitted with a 316L stainless steel bezel with a yellow gold PVD treatment that elevates the watch's appeal. It features a graduated mineral glass insert with a tachymeter scale for calculating travel speeds. A flat sapphire crystal sits above the dial, protecting it from scratches and shocks, while an anti-reflective coating ensures clear legibility at all times. Hours, minutes, and the chronograph are adjusted via the knurled crown and two pushers at 2, 3, and 4 o'clock. Finally, the model is secured with a snap-back case back for a water resistance of 10 ATM.

The Dial

This round dial is finished in black, lending the watch a refined, elegant edge. Its perimeter is framed by a minute track, followed by luminescent baton indices marking the hours. The indices and the two baton hands above them are treated with Super-LumiNova for excellent readability in the dark. The two main hands display the hours and minutes, while the slim chronograph seconds hand sweeps the elapsed seconds. Three sub-dials positioned at 2, 6, and 9 o'clock display 1/10th of a second, small seconds, and 30-minute counters respectively. The brand name is printed at 12 o'clock alongside its founding year.

The Movement

Powering this timepiece is a Swiss-made quartz movement - specifically the ETA G10.212 caliber - which drives the hands and chronograph with precision. The mechanism is supported by 4 jewels and a battery with an impressive 38-month life. High-performing, it features HeavyDrive, PreciDrive, and stop-seconds technologies, along with a low-battery indicator (EOL).

The Bracelet

This stunning bracelet is crafted in 316L stainless steel with a brushed finish on the ends and a polished finish toward the center. For added sophistication, its central links are coated with a 1N14 yellow gold PVD treatment that pairs beautifully with the watch's overall look. The bracelet features a 20 mm lug width and fastens with a deployment clasp. As a bonus, you can personalize your bracelet thanks to its easy-open interchangeable strap system.

Water Resistance

With 100-meter water resistance - or 10 ATM in watchmaking terms - this bold timepiece is equally at home at a black-tie gala and in the water. Wear it in the shower, the bath, or during a swim (even a vigorous one). That said, our watchmaking experts want to be clear: this model is not designed for scuba diving, freediving, or high-pressure water jets. Remember: shower, bath, and swimming only - and never operate the pushers or crown underwater.
