Tissot PR516 Automatic Chronograph 41mm White Dial (Ref. T149.462.11.011.00)

The Tissot PR516 Automatic Chronograph is a modern interpretation of one of Tissot’s most recognizable motorsport-inspired collections, combining vintage racing character with contemporary Swiss mechanical engineering. This pre-owned example is presented in great condition and features the striking white dial with blue accents, stainless steel case, and matching quick-release stainless steel bracelet. Originally introduced during the 1960s, the PR516 collection has long been associated with the world of motorsport. This modern automatic chronograph carries that heritage forward with a sporty dial layout, integrated tachymeter and pulsometer scales, and a powerful Swiss automatic chronograph movement. The white dial provides a crisp backdrop for the contrasting blue details and chronograph indications. Its three-register layout provides dedicated timing functions while maintaining excellent readability, and Super-LumiNova® on the hands improves visibility in low-light conditions. The watch is housed in a substantial 41mm 316L stainless steel case measuring 14.19mm thick. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment protects the dial, while the transparent exhibition caseback provides a view of the mechanical chronograph movement. At the heart of the PR516 is a Swiss automatic Valjoux chronograph movement equipped with Tissot’s patented Nivachron™ balance spring. The movement provides an impressive 68-hour power reserve and supports 12-hour, 30-minute, and 60-second chronograph timing functions. With 100 meters of water resistance, a robust stainless steel case, sapphire crystal, and quick-release steel bracelet, the PR516 combines the mechanical appeal of a traditional Swiss chronograph with the durability required for regular everyday wear.
