Tissot PR 516 Powermatic 80

This variant of the PR 516 Powermatic 80 is executed in all stainless steel with a classic black dial, emphasising the watch’s sporty and tool-like nature.

The 38mm case is stainless steel with a mix of brushed and polished finishes, and it’s paired with a matching steel bracelet.

The black dial features silver-tone and hands, with design cues harking back to the 1970s Tissot PR 516 (such as the style of indices or use of red details).

A date window sits at 3 o’clock for convenience. The watch is driven by Tissot’s Powermatic 80 automatic movement, known for its long 80-hour power reserve and reliable performance.

Enthusiasts will appreciate the see through caseback that reveals the movement – a reminder of the mechanical heritage of this piece.

In terms of durability, expect a sapphire crystal and decent water resistance.

All in all, the PR516 Powermatic 80 Black Dial is a vintage motorsports look with a modern engine, offering a blend of nostalgic design and present-day watchmaking prowess.
