What to know
Where the PR516 chronographs put elapsed-time counters on display, this 38 mm three-hand reference strips the design back to the essentials. The black dial uses bright white markers and a red seconds hand, while the bezel preserves the collection's sporting theme.
A Powermatic 80 automatic movement powers the central seconds and date function. Tissot encloses it in a stainless-steel case with a display back and pairs the watch with a multi-link steel bracelet.
The absence of registers changes the personality of the PR516 substantially. This model reads as a daily sports watch first and a motor-racing tribute second, making the 1960s-inspired case language accessible in a simpler format.
