Tissot PR516 Chronograph 40mm Mens Watch Blue

Ref. T1494171104100

The original PR516 came out of Tissot's 1970 catalogue alongside a generation of sport watches shaped by motorsport culture, and the 2024 revival keeps that reference honest: the bezel carries both a pulsometer and a tachymeter scale, which places it firmly in the tradition of the driver's chronograph that could also serve a clinician or a coach. That dual scale is unusual even now, and it gives the watch a specific character that a plain tachymeter cannot. At 40mm and 12.2mm deep, the proportions are tidier than most chronographs at this rating — thick enough to carry three sub-dials without crowding, flat enough to sit cleanly under a cuff. The blue dial reads well across light conditions, the applied stick indices holding legibility where printed alternatives tend to fade, and the Super-LumiNova coverage extends to both hands and markers. The ETA G10.212 AB runs to a stated maximum variation of ±0.1 seconds per day, which for a quartz movement is precise, and the 1/10th-of-a-second sub-dial makes that accuracy usable rather than merely advertised. The bracelet's quick-release system means changing to a strap takes seconds without tools — a detail that matters more over months of ownership than it sounds on paper.
