Tissot PR516 Chronograph 40mm Mens Watch Black

Ref. T1494172205100

The PR516 name traces back to a 1970 Tissot sports watch, and this chronograph is a direct reinterpretation of that design — the tachymeter bezel, the sub-dial layout, the proportions all carry the original's motor-racing intent into a contemporary case. What separates this reference from its all-steel sibling is the yellow gold PVD treatment on the bracelet and case details, which gives the dial's gold-tone hands and indices something to answer. The G10.212 movement goes beyond a basic quartz chronograph: the SPLIT function allows intermediate timing without stopping the main counter, the ADD function accumulates separate intervals, and the 1/10-second resolution is genuinely useful for the tachymeter's purpose rather than decorative. An end-of-life indicator flags the battery before it affects accuracy, which is the kind of quiet practicality that earns trust over years rather than impressing at first handling. The engraved caseback and the quick-change bracelet system are the details that emerge with ownership — the latter making a strap swap a matter of seconds without tools, which suits a watch that is already dressed to move between contexts.
