Design & Craftsmanship
Motorsport Heritage: Born on the Track in 1970
The PR516 series holds a distinguished position in racing horology, originally created to celebrate high-performance driving with its trademark steering-wheel-inspired bracelet design and rugged case geometry. In this modern reinterpretation, the 40.00 mm diameter and 12.2 mm thickness deliver vintage proportions that transition effortlessly between casual, sports, and formal executive settings.
Dual-Scale Trackside Timing Bezel
Paying homage to the golden era of rallies and speed tracks, the bezel integrates both a tachymeter scale for calculating speeds up to 400 km/h and a pulsometer graduation. Protected beneath a mineral crystal ring, the markings remain impervious to scuffs and UV discolouration.
ETA Powerdrive Chronograph Accuracy
Powering the watch is the Swiss-made ETA G10.212 quartz calibre with Powerdrive technology. This intelligent motor system increases the hand-stepping speed to provide dynamic 1/10th-second resolution at the 2 o'clock counter, a 30-minute accumulator at 10 o'clock, and central chronograph seconds with instantaneous flyback capabilities.
