Superb Tissot PR516, an emblematic watch which takes us directly back to the world of motorsport of the 60s and 70s. The word PR516 simply means "Particularly Durable".
This Tissot is equipped with caliber 782-1, a hand-wound movement. With a diameter of 33.5 mm, it offers an elegant and sporty presence on the wrist. This model was first introduced by Tissot in 1965 as a sports watch. Subsequently, for commercial reasons, it was repositioned to connect more with the world of motor sports.
An interesting fact about the Tissot PR516 is that it appeared in a James Bond film even before Rolex and Omega entered the franchise. Actor Roger Moore actually wore a Tissot PR516 Date in the film “Live and Let Die”. We wonder how many specialists could have missed this iconic watch, but this adds to its charm and exclusivity.
The Tissot PR516 is a piece particularly appreciated by collectors and fans of vintage watches. Don't miss this unique opportunity to acquire a watch that combines history, style and performance.
