✨ At the heart of this Tissot PR 516 is a high-performance mechanical Valjoux chronograph movement, renowned for its reliability and precision in timing. This ensures accurate measurement for various applications, controlled by the classic pushers. The watch offers a robust water resistance of up to 10 bar (100 meters / 330 feet), making it suitable for swimming and recreational water sports, providing versatility for the active wearer.
The PR 516 showcases a compelling design, starting with its 41mm diameter 316L stainless steel case, exquisitely finished with a sophisticated black PVD coating. This striking contrast is complemented by an anti-reflective coated, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, ensuring optimal readability and durability. With a thickness of 13.7mm and a lug width of 20mm, the watch presents a balanced and commanding presence on the wrist. The integrated stainless steel bracelet provides a cohesive and comfortable fit, exuding a timeless sporty elegance.
Crafted from premium 316L stainless steel for both the case (with its resilient black PVD coating) and the band, this timepiece guarantees exceptional durability and corrosion resistance. The watch is further protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment, a hallmark of luxury watchmaking. To maintain its pristine condition, avoid exposure to harsh chemicals and extreme temperatures. While water-resistant to 100m, it's advisable to have mechanical watches serviced regularly to ensure optimal performance and longevity, especially after water exposure.
