The Tissot PRS 516 Extreme is a modern take on the famous Tissot PR 516 timekeeping legend of the 1960s. At that time already, the PR 516 was a tribute to motorsport and Tissot’s related deep-rooted passion for those fast machines. The original model was famous for its bracelet that integrated cut-out circles illustrating steering wheels of pioneering race cars. Today, you may find a model with that option, reminiscent of those times. However, it is today’s cars that take the lead in the Tissot PRS 516 Extreme. Its straight case line takes from the smooth and somewhat futuristic bodywork of the ultimate modern car, while the details on the dial and bezel illustrate its sophisticated dashboard.
Extreme
The Tissot PRS 516 Extreme definitely takes it to the limit. There is no stopping such dynamism. Its honeycomb bracelet that illustrates the sophisticated ventilation system of a modern car keeps the engine cool while it fires up with its dynamic stripe around the bracelet hands down, leaving a smoky trace on the date display, which, with its screws, reflect its mechanical nature with the fast wheel on the caseback to show for it.
