What to know
The PR516 design revisits Tissot's motorsport vocabulary with an unusually legible white dial, blue chronograph accents and compact subdials arranged across its lower half. A tachymeter and pulsometer appear along the bezel, lending the 41 mm case an instrument-like quality.
Tissot fits a Swiss automatic Valjoux chronograph with a stated 68-hour power reserve. The steel case includes an exhibition back, sapphire crystal and 100-metre water resistance, while the steel bracelet balances its substantial chronograph profile.
It is the dial hierarchy that makes this reference interesting. The blue outer scale concentrates the technical information at the edge, leaving the applied hour markers and hands to remain easy to read.
