PR516 Powermatic 80 37 mm Watch T1494071605100

The Watch

Founded in 1853 in Switzerland, Tissot is renowned for elegant timepieces that blend functionality and beauty. Robust, precise, and eye-catching, their watches are made for every occasion. Combining traditional craftsmanship with contemporary technology, they are built to stand the test of time - and to suit future generations. Today, Tissot presents this PR516 watch T1494071605100 from the Tissot T-Sport collection. It features a grey 316L stainless steel case with a striking look. Round in shape, it measures 38 mm in diameter, 37 mm in length, and 11.20 mm thick. Designed for both men and women, it weighs just 74 g and is encircled by a mineral glass bezel with a black insert graduated from 0 to 60. It surrounds a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating that shields the dial and ensures optimal legibility. A grey fluted crown at 3 o'clock makes central adjustments effortless. The screwed case back with a transparent view of the movement ensures a water resistance of 10 ATM.

The Dial

The black dial on this watch was carefully chosen for clear, easy timekeeping in any setting. Around its edge, a white minute track is complemented by grey baton indexes marking the hours. Two grey hands sweep the dial to indicate hours and minutes, while a yellow seconds hand ensures precise tracking. All indexes and the two main hands - except the slim seconds hand - feature a luminescent treatment for optimal visibility in low-light environments. At 3 o'clock, a date window provides a daily reference. The brand signs at 12 o'clock and notes the movement type at 6 o'clock.

The Movement

This timepiece houses a Swiss automatic movement - one of the most respected calibers in the watchmaking industry: the Powermatic 80, based on ETA C07.111. It delivers outstanding precision for both the analog display and the date window. With a diameter of 25.60 mm, it beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour and features 23 jewels to minimize friction. This movement offers a power reserve of 80 hours.

The Bracelet

This model is complemented by a calfskin leather strap that adds a stylish finishing touch day and night. Known and loved for its comfort, it features a beautiful light brown shade with white contrast stitching, creating a striking wrist effect sure to turn heads. Interchangeable, its surface is adorned with carefully crafted perforations for an even more elegant touch. With a lug width of 20 mm, it fastens securely with a silver ardillon buckle.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 10 atmospheres - or 100 meters - this watch is ready for anything. From rain puddles to the pool, it handles every aquatic adventure without missing a beat. Shower, bath, and active swimming? Absolutely fine. That said, our Ocarat watchmaking experts note that this water-resistant model is not suited for diving (professional or otherwise) and should be kept away from high-pressure cleaning devices. We also recommend keeping the crown and pushers clear while submerged.
