AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

EU-based professional seller — no import taxes for EU buyers.

Get your hands on this vintage Tissot Seastar PR516 automatic, serviced and guaranteed. Swiss-made classic with new crystal and strap. Reliable, elegant, and ready to wear.

Model History:
The Tissot Seastar PR516 line debuted in the mid-1960s as a sporty yet refined collection inspired by motorsport design cues. The “PR” stood for Particularly Robust, signalling durability and shock resistance, while the 516 series became known for its clean dials, ergonomic cases, and reliable Swiss automatic calibres.
Your reference 43516, powered by the cal. 783-2, belongs to the earlier Seastar PR516 family with minimalist dials and compact tonneau-style cases - a style most commonly seen between 1967 and 1970.

Specifications:
• Brand / Model: Tissot Seastar PR 516
• Reference: 43516
• Serial number: 10605807
• Movement: Tissot cal. 783-2 automatic + hand-winding
• Case: Stainless steel, lightly polished
• Diameter: approx. 34.5 mm without crown, 37 mm with crown

Condition:
This vintage PR516 is in beautiful, well-preserved condition for its age. The silvery white sunburst dial retains a clean look with only minimal patina, adding tasteful vintage character. The stainless-steel case shows light signs of wear and has been gently polished, keeping sharp proportions while presenting attractively on the wrist. The new crystal is flawless, offering a clear and bright view of the dial. The movement has been fully serviced, runs reliably, and all functions operate correctly. Fitted with a new leather strap, the watch is ready to wear.
A charming late-60s Swiss automatic from a respected heritage brand - elegant, compact, and mechanically refreshed.
