The Tissot PR516 collection is a modern reinterpretation of one of the brand’s most iconic sport watches, drawing inspiration from its original racing models of the 1960s and 1970s.
The name “PR” stands for “Particularly Robust,” reflecting the collection’s focus on durability and performance — qualities that made it a standout in Tissot’s early sport watch lineup.
Today’s PR516 range includes a variety of configurations:
-
Quartz chronographs for precise, low-maintenance timekeeping
-
Automatic models with Powermatic 80 movements, offering up to 80 hours of power reserve
-
Mechanical chronographs powered by advanced Swiss calibres, delivering authentic motorsport functionality
Crafted with 316L stainless steel cases, scratch-resistant sapphire crystals, and 100 m water resistance, the PR516 is built to handle everyday wear while maintaining a distinctly sporty aesthetic.
Signature design elements include:
-
Tachymeter or pulsometer bezels for timing speed or events
-
Chronograph sub-dials with high legibility
-
Super-LumiNova hands and indices for visibility
-
Quick-release bracelets and racing-style straps
Available in sizes such as 38 mm, 40 mm, and 41 mm, the collection caters to a wide range of wrist profiles and style preferences.
With its combination of heritage design, modern engineering, and strong value positioning, the PR516 stands out as one of the most compelling Swiss sport chronograph collections in its class.
