Design & Craftsmanship
Motorsport Heritage in a Versatile 38mm Silhouette
First launched in 1970, the PR516 collection quickly established itself as a benchmark for automotive-inspired sports watches. Sized at a universally proportioned 38.00 mm with an 11.18 mm profile, this automatic edition sits flat and balanced on the wrist, moving effortlessly from high-octane casual outings to refined business settings.
Gradient Dial Artistry & Racing Accents
The blue gradient dial creates an engaging sense of depth, capturing ambient light to reveal varying shades of cyan and deep midnight blue. Symmetrically placed applied baton indices and Dauphine hands filled with Super-LumiNova® ensure crisp readability, while the vibrant red second hand provides a sharp motorsport contrast.
Powermatic 80 Engine with Nivachron™ Resilience
Beneath the dial beats the Swiss-made ETA Powermatic 80 calibre. With its 80-hour power autonomy, you can remove the watch on Friday evening and pick it up on Monday morning without needing to reset the time. Equipped with an anti-magnetic Nivachron™ hairspring, the movement remains unperturbed by electromagnetic fields from smartphones, laptops, and travel gear.
