Tissot PRS 516 Automatic, A Cool Black Design

The Story of a Watch Company published in 2002, as Tissot entered its 150th year. Tissot’s PRS516 range takes design cues from 1960s motorsports. Rather than claiming an association with a specific race or car as others do - with varying credibility - Tissot have reinterpreted the design of their PR516 of 1965, the one with the distinctive, perforated steel bracelet. The ”PR” signifies “Particularly Robust” - a fair description - and the “S” adds “Sport” to today’s versions. Clearly tough watches, then, but also stylishly designed and well-finished.

This carbon version has a black PVD-coated steel case, with brushed surfaces and polished edges. The face and bezel feature fine-weave carbon fibre, which displays a kind of intrinsic guillochage. While the shapes of the case, hands, and other details are distinctly vintage, the predominantly black aesthetic and hi-tech materials speak of more recent times. A pleasing mid-blue accent appears in three places: the seconds hand, the “516” identification, and a thin ring under the bezel. Other colours - including red, often associated with speed - appear elsewhere in the PRS516 range. The fixed carbon-fibre bezel has numerals at five-minute intervals and is narrow, giving the watch a wide face that is clearly legible under a sapphire crystal. Tissot’s official images of this watch, understandably, show the carbon fibre at its most dramatic - but most of the time, in gentler light, the effect is more subtle. In slanting sunlight, though, it lights up with prominent reflections.
