Tissot PRS 516 Triple Seconds Review

Sometimes a watch is defined as much by what it doesn’t have as what it does. Omission, simplification, or replacement of features can make or break a timepiece, and rarely have I seen a better example of this than the Tissot PRS 516 Triple Seconds. If you had told me that there was a modern, automatic sport watch with a ceramic bezel and obvious automotive inspiration, I would have told you it had to be a chronograph. Make no mistake, however, a chronograph complication would have messed with everything that makes this watch special. As it is, the Triple Seconds is a fun, handsome weekender with an unusual twist and impressive features for $1,050. Let’s take a closer look.
