Whether on the race track or on the screen, the Tissot PR516 has long been a timepiece for those who love life in the fast lane. The PR516 was relaunched at the beginning of 2024. Now Tissot is continuing this legacy with the introduction of new models. These include the Powermatic version with an 80-hour power reserve, the Valjoux chronograph and the returning quartz version, now available in new colors. A special highlight is the three-hand model, which gives the collection a new dimension. Every clockwork underlines this iconic design of the PR516, which stands for thrill and freedom of life.
Introduced in the 1960s, the PR516 was inspired by racing – a high-speed world where precision and durability are crucial. The chronograph version with its tachymeter scale and robust construction made the timepiece an indispensable instrument for professionals who depended on the highest quality standards even under pressure. Over the years, the PR516 has remained a symbol of strength and style and was even seen on Roger Moore’s wrist in one of his legendary films.
With the expansion of the PR516 line, Tissot continues to inspire the spirit of those who seek a timepiece as uncompromising as the goals they set for themselves – a watch that drives them to heroically face their own challenges.
The PR516 is already one of the classics in the Tissot range. The watch now continues its development with the latest version, which is equipped with the Powermatic 80 three-hand movement. Offering an updated look that builds on the model’s heritage, it features a more refined design that underlines everything essential and ensures you never lose sight of your goals.
