Tissot T-Sport PR 516 quartz chronograph white dial steel bracelet 40 mm

The PR516: Tissot’s Racing DNA

Since the 1960s, the Tissot PR516 has embodied the sporting spirit of the Swiss manufacture. Inspired by the world of motor racing, this collection quickly established itself as one of the brand’s most dynamic lines, combining robustness, legibility and precision.

Its name derives from the expression “Particularly Robust”, a promise of reliability designed to withstand demanding environments. From the very beginning, the PR516 stood out with an aesthetic inspired by motorsport, featuring details reminiscent of dashboard instruments and perforated steering wheels from racing cars of the era.

Over the decades, the collection has become a true sporting icon for Tissot, even appearing in popular culture on the wrist of Roger Moore in cinema.

With the PR516 Chronograph Quartz, Tissot continues this heritage by offering a contemporary interpretation of the sporting chronograph: a design inspired by historical models combined with modern precision and functions designed to measure time with accuracy.

A Sporty Case Inspired by Racing Chronographs

The PR516 Chronograph Quartz features a 40 mm stainless steel case whose dynamic design is directly inspired by chronographs used in the world of motorsport.

Its balanced proportions provide a strong presence on the wrist while maintaining excellent everyday comfort. Predominantly satin-brushed surfaces are subtly enhanced by polished details, adding depth and refinement to the overall design.

The watch is equipped with a fixed bezel featuring a tachymeter scale, an iconic element of racing chronographs. This scale allows the wearer to measure average speed over a given distance, echoing the instrumental purpose of watches designed for environments where every second counts.

The dial is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, ensuring both clarity and durability in everyday use.

Designed for versatile wear, the PR516 Chronograph Quartz is also water-resistant to 100 meters, allowing it to be worn confidently in most everyday situations.

A Precise and Functional Quartz Chronograph Movement

The PR516 Chronograph Quartz is powered by a Swiss quartz chronograph movement, recognized for its precision and everyday reliability.

This calibre drives the essential functions of a sporting chronograph, allowing accurate measurement of elapsed time. The display includes:

• hours and minutes
• small seconds
• date
• chronograph function with dedicated counters

Thanks to quartz technology, the watch offers excellent timekeeping accuracy and particularly simple use, without the need for winding.

Designed as a true time-measuring instrument, the PR516 Chronograph Quartz continues the tradition of chronographs inspired by the world of motor racing, where the mastery of time and speed is essential.

A Steel Bracelet with Sporty Versatility

The Tissot PR516 Chronograph Quartz is fitted with a stainless steel bracelet designed to complement the sporty character of the watch while ensuring excellent comfort on the wrist.

Its robust construction combines brushed finishes with polished accents, creating an elegant contrast that highlights the dynamic design of the watch. This combination allows the PR516 to maintain a sporty aesthetic while remaining refined enough for everyday wear.

With a 20 mm lug width, the bracelet integrates perfectly with the case and contributes to the overall visual balance of the watch.

It features a secure folding clasp that ensures reliable fastening and easy daily use. The quick-release system also allows the bracelet to be easily changed without tools, offering the possibility to adapt the watch’s style according to personal preference.

A White Dial with Distinct Racing Contrast

This version of the PR516 Chronograph Quartz stands out with its bright white dial, whose aesthetic evokes the dashboard instruments of racing cars.

The chronograph counters add depth and dynamism to the display while facilitating clear reading of measured times. The applied indexes and hands ensure optimal legibility, further enhanced by a Super-LumiNova coating that allows the time to be read even in low-light conditions.

A date window positioned at 4 o’clock completes the display discreetly, while the various chronograph indications provide clear and functional reading of elapsed time.

Combined with the tachymeter bezel and stainless steel case, this white dial gives the PR516 a look that is sporty, technical and unmistakably inspired by the world of racing.
