    Hi all,

    I was considering to enlarge my collection even further with this watch.
    Does anybody know/own it? any feedback?

    I already own a Tissot Seastar from the 70s, I like the brand and I think this is a perfect everyday watch.

    Wish you a good WE

    Whatever you do, don't buy a Tissot with the System 51 plastic movement!

    But the PRS 516, doesn't have a plastic movement, right? ;)

    The PR 516 model line creation dates back to 1956. At that time the "PR" stood for "Particularly Robust." The PR collection was well advertised and apparently successful product line for Tissot throughout the 1960s and early 1970s. You'll sometimes find models with both the "PR516" and "Seastar" on the same dial. This example features the minute hand floating underneath the hour marker:

    Amazing Watch! The dial design is exactly similar to my seamaster! Thanks for the review @Vitezi
