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.

The Tissot PR516 Automatic Chronograph combines classic motorsport inspiration with modern Swiss mechanical performance. The white dial and blue detailing give this configuration a particularly distinctive appearance, while the three-register chronograph layout, tachymeter, and pulsometer reinforce the racing heritage behind the PR516 name.
The Swiss automatic Valjoux chronograph movement is one of the major highlights of this model. With a substantial 68-hour power reserve and Tissot’s Nivachron™ balance spring, it provides both the mechanical character expected from a traditional automatic chronograph and modern resistance to the magnetic fields encountered in everyday life.
Its 41mm stainless steel case gives the watch strong wrist presence, while the sapphire crystal, exhibition caseback, 100-meter water resistance, and quick-release stainless steel bracelet make it practical enough for regular use.
For collectors looking for a Swiss automatic chronograph with genuine motorsport character, substantial mechanical specifications, and a less conventional color combination, the white-and-blue PR516 offers an attractive balance of heritage, functionality, and contemporary design.
