The Watch

The Tissot PR516 Automatic Chronograph is a Swiss timepiece that masterfully blends sophistication and performance. Featuring a barrel-shaped case in 316L stainless steel with a 41 mm diameter, it commands attention with its robust presence and 171-gram weight. The brushed steel finish gives the case a decidedly contemporary edge. This model is fitted with a flat sapphire crystal, renowned for its exceptional scratch resistance, enhanced by an anti-reflective coating for improved dial clarity from every angle. The watch's screwed, transparent caseback reveals the inner movement - a feat of both aesthetics and engineering that captivates any watch enthusiast.

The Dial

The dial of this watch is a design masterpiece, blending white and blue tones for a visually striking effect. The matte finish creates a bold contrast with the luminescent hands and indexes, ensuring easy readability even in low-light conditions. Three sub-dials support the chronograph function with counters for 12 hours, 30 minutes, and a small seconds. The minute track around the dial's edge adds precision to minute reading, while the tachymeter scale lets you measure speed with finesse.

The Movement

At the heart of this watch beats the Swiss automatic ETA Valjoux A05.231 movement, a symbol of watchmaking reliability and precision. This high-performance caliber delivers an impressive 68-hour power reserve, keeping the watch running for days without intervention. Equipped with a rotor, it is powered by the natural motion of the wrist. The movement includes complications such as a chronograph, along with classic functions like hours, minutes, and small seconds display.

The Strap

The 316L stainless steel bracelet embodies durability and comfort in equal measure. In a chic grey tone, it elegantly combines a brushed and polished finish, creating a play of textures that harmonizes beautifully with the watch case. The deployant clasp ensures a secure fit on the wrist while making it easy to put on and take off. With a 20 mm lug width, it offers the versatility to complement a range of styles and occasions, reinforcing this model's universal appeal.

Water Resistance

With 10 ATM water resistance, this watch is perfectly suited for a variety of aquatic environments - from daily showers and casual swims to freediving. Premium materials and a screwed caseback provide maximum protection against water infiltration.
