Tissot’s new manual-winding PR 516 Chronograph

Interesting new chrono from Tissot: timeandtidewatches.com /










Not that bad of a Re-Issue,

but for the price you can get a mint condition vintage example and have enough change for a complete overhaul AND change for a nice dinner afterwards.

Not so sure...

My bad, I thought the prices were USD

instead of AUD. wink But very nice examples of the vintage version can be had for 1k - 1,5k € if you look around a bit and are patient, add 500€ for a service and you are around the 1.975€ this Re-issue costs according to the German tissot homepage. And a nice dinner for the remaining 25€ is absolutely possible in rural northeastern Austria! smile

Ok, thanks!

It's $1,850.00 US

So, around 1600 Euros. Not badly priced for what it is.

In the EU it's actuwlly a bit more

1975€ including 19% VAT for Germany. But I have to agree with you, compared to the competition the price seems reasonable.

Ah ,ok. So even a bit more in France since our VAT is 20%. ;)

My initial reaction

- Who need a manual wind "entry level" chrono

- it's has a Daytona look with red splash..

No, the subdials are well centered on the Tissot, and honestly, here, I have hard time imagining a Daytona when I see this Tissot.

It's the bezel that trick my eyes

The field inside is not to be mistaken of course.

It was not the only one. Several had this feature...

I quite like it! I would have preferred a more classic round case, but hey, not bad at all!

Has a crispness that I like

Great❣️ probably the best re-issue of the PR516! 🤩

 
 By: MCG (Markus) : February 23rd, 2024-06:59
I will have a look at it.
Only minor things: hour hand could have been the same style as minute hand.
The size - I would have preferred a 39-40mm case (because of my small wrists) - however it looks very harmonic also in 41mm… 👍🏻

Tissot are making accessible watches with great looks

these few years! If only most watch companies are like Tissot making good watch and not overhype on their heritage and fine art… Mechanical watches going through the smart crisis like the quartz crisis prior as younger consume rather buy watch for functionality than for aesthetic purposes… 

Agreed on Tissot, but I don't know on younger consumers...
