Introduction The Tissot PRS 516 Automatic is a distinctive sports timepiece inspired by the racing heritage of the 1960s and 1970s. Tissot, founded in 1853 in Le Locle, Switzerland, is one of the oldest and most respected Swiss watchmakers, and the PRS 516 line pays tribute to their motorsport legacy with design cues drawn from vintage steering wheels and racing dashboards. This particular reference offers a clean, sporty aesthetic with a silver dial and contrasting black bezel that appeals to both everyday wearers and collectors of Swiss automatic watches. Historical & Collector Value The PRS 516 name originates from the legendary Tissot PR 516 introduced in 1965, a watch closely associated with racing culture. Modern PRS 516 automatic models like this one preserve those design elements while incorporating contemporary mechanical reliability. As Tissot continues to update the PRS 516 range, earlier automatic versions such as this one are becoming increasingly sought after by collectors who appreciate the fusion of racing-inspired heritage design with genuine Swiss mechanical movements. The day-date complication and 50m water resistance make it both collectible and highly wearable.
