Design & Craftsmanship

Motorsport Heritage in a Versatile 38mm Silhouette

First unveiled in 1970, the PR516 series earned acclaim across Europe for its driving-inspired ergonomics and rugged durability. In this 38.00 mm edition, the sculpted case combines an 11.18 mm profile with balanced lug contours, sitting comfortably flush against the wrist under casual attire or formal shirt cuffs.

High-Contrast Dial & Racing Details

The white dial creates an eye-catching contrast against the black bezel ring and polished steel surfaces. Applied baton markers and hands treated with Super-LumiNova® ensure instantaneous legibility in low-light environments, while the signature red second hand adds dynamic trackside character.

Powermatic 80 Engine with Nivachron™ Resilience

Beneath the dial beats the Swiss-made Powermatic 80 automatic calibre. With its 80-hour power autonomy, you can take the watch off for the weekend and put it back on Monday morning without resetting the time. The titanium-based Nivachron™ balance spring shields the escapement from electromagnetic fields generated by smartphones, laptops, and travel gear.
