About Tissot
For more than 150 years, Tissot has embodied the innovation and tradition of Swiss watch-making. Based in the Neuchâtel area of the Jura Mountains, in Le Locle, Switzerland, Charles-Félicien Tissot and his son Charles-Emile created the watch making company Tissot in 1853. Whether in the technology of its movements, in the research for special materials or in the very functions of the watch itself, Tissot's engineers and watchmakers have developed pioneering timepieces over the years.

Some of Tissot's triumphs over the years include the the Idea 2001 (the world's first plastic watch) released in 1971, the Rock watch (which set the timepiece's movement in a stone case made from Swiss Alps granite) in 1985, and the Wood watch from 1988 (with a completely wooden case). Tissot uses the best movements (from ETA SA Manufacture Horlogère Suisse), the highest quality materials (316L steel, 18K gold, titanium) and scratch-proof glasses (sapphire crystal--at least 2500 Vickers).

The company has been involved with high profile sports events since 1974 when they sponsored a racing car in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, France. Since then Tissot's timepieces have been chosen as official timekeepers for world championships in cycling, motorcycling, fencing and ice hockey. And Tissot is currently the the official watch and timekeeper of NASCAR.

Tissot timepieces have been worn by a bevy of celebrities over the years--including Grace Kelly, Elvis Presley and Nelson Mandela--and James Stewart's character L.B. Jefferies wore a Tissot timepiece in Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window." Today the company is represented in a variety of sporting fields by English soccer star Michael Owen, IndyCar driver Danica Patrick, and MotoGP world champion Nicky Hayden. Today, Tissot is a member of the Swatch Group, the world's largest watch producer and distributor.

Customer Reviews

Fantastic Watch!!!
Very Aesthetic and very durable. Has taken many hard hits and has not shown a dent or scratch (have had it more than a year). This includes hits on the glass face itself. Fortunately the fact that the face is made of Saphire crystal has proven a real blessing. Movement is excellent. Watchband excellent and very durable also. Only slight weakness is the strange and not very practical clasp for the watchband but once you get used to this it is not a problem.

Good Watch, Horrible Strap!
The Tissot PRS516 Retrograde is a pretty good watch for the money. I paid $277 on shopathometv. The watch keeps excellent time and the 40mm case fit perfect on my 8 inch wrist. The white hour/minute hands and the yellow sub-dials stand out clearly against the black face. The chronograph and date functions are very easy to learn and use.

The only problem is with the leather strap. It's 20mm, dual-deployment, black with yellow contrast stiching. The padding is the problem. The padding is substantial from the lugs to about 1-1/2 inches. Then, there is almost no padding. This gives the strap an awkward feeling. The clasp is also quite cheaply made. Luckily, I had a spare Hadley Roma alligator strap from a previous watch and that makes the watch perfect.

I say get the watch and replace the band. You don't need an alligator strap. Hadley Roma sells a very nice black, calfskin leather strap with yellow contrast stitching for less than $50.

Great product and price
Great product and price. Exactly the model with all the options I was seeking. Gave it as a present.
