Tissot PR 516 – Swiss Vintage Mechanical Watch (Fully Serviced, ca. 1970)

A beautifully preserved Tissot PR 516 from the early 1970s — now fully serviced and running perfectly.
Powered by the reliable Tissot Calibre 782-1 (manual wind, 17 jewels), this watch embodies the spirit of Tissot’s racing heritage, with its brushed steel case and the distinctive red “PR 516” marking on the dial.

The movement has been professionally cleaned, lubricated, and regulated. The original acrylic crystal was polished to clarity, and a new brown rally-style leather strap completes the look.
