WWR #26: Tissot PR516 Automatic Chronograph

I was never fan of the Tissot brand especially their T-Touch series of watches.  Though Tissot carries with it a lot of history way back, it never came to my subjective taste of owning one with the styles they offer, from sport to dress to divers, something's always a bit off.

But it has now changed now with their vintage inspired lines in the sports category.  And particular that took my eye's attention is the PRS 516 Automatic Chronograph.  There are different variations as to color combinations, all of them classic beauties, but I'd like the white dial version.  It matches well with the black tachymeter bezel.  And of course its an automatic with the legendary Valjoux 7750 movement in it.  This series has some quartz models too. Everybody is reviving vintages nowadays and Tissot's execution wasn't too far or too weird.  It revived the old model back but still differentiates it numerously from the past which is the right way to do it.




  


The rotor which is designed in a vintage style sports steering wheel is quite a treat at the back.
