PR516 Watch T1494071104100

The Watch

The Tissot PR516 watch is a symphony of sporting elegance, capturing the very essence of Swiss design. Swiss-made, this men's watch impresses with its 316L stainless steel construction - a material prized for its strength and corrosion resistance. The 38 mm round case delivers a balanced profile that sits perfectly on medium-sized wrists. At 146 g, it has a commanding presence without feeling bulky. Its sapphire crystal, treated for scratch resistance and anti-reflective properties, protects the dial while ensuring exceptional visual clarity. The caseback is a transparent screw-down, offering a stunning view of the sophisticated movement within - a true masterpiece of jewelry watchmaking.

The Dial

The dial of the Tissot PR516, featuring a deep blue tone, captures light in a way that's impossible to ignore. Applied indices coated in a luminescent material ensure perfect legibility even in low-light conditions. The sword-shaped hands, also luminescent, add a dynamic energy to the overall design. A minute track rings the dial for added precision and clarity when reading the time. At 3 o'clock, a discreetly integrated date window maintains the dial's aesthetic symmetry. The whole is protected by a sapphire crystal built to endure daily wear while delivering crystal-clear, glare-free visibility.

The Movement

Powering the Tissot PR516 is the outstanding ETA Powermatic 80 caliber - an automatic movement that stands as a hallmark of Swiss watchmaking. This mechanism is derived from the renowned ETA C07.111, celebrated for its efficiency and durability. Beating at a frequency of 21,600 A/h, it delivers remarkable timekeeping precision with a stable, reliable oscillation. The movement features a rotor that keeps the watch wound simply by the natural motion of the wrist. With an impressive 80-hour power reserve, it outlasts most standard watches, keeping perfect time even after several days without wear.

The Strap

The bracelet of the Tissot PR516 watch is a study in durability and refined design. Crafted in 316L stainless steel, it pairs robustness with a polished-bright finish, creating a harmonious contrast with the watch case. The 20 mm lug width ensures perfect proportions, making the watch comfortable to wear while providing optimal wrist support. The bracelet links feature a subtle alternating brushed and polished finish, adding visual depth that catches the light and accentuates every movement. The watch fastens with a highly secure butterfly deployant clasp, offering effortless closure and unmatched wearing comfort.

Water Resistance

The Tissot PR516 offers reliable protection against the elements with a water resistance of 10 ATM. This rating, equivalent to 100 meters of underwater pressure, allows the watch to handle most regular water activities - swimming or snorkeling - without any risk of water infiltration. The case achieves this protection through its screw-down caseback and meticulously sealed crown, preserving the integrity of the internal movement against the corrosive effects of water.
