Tissot teases for Basel 2012

Tissot, the world's largest watch producer, currently own by the Swatch conglomerate is giving us a short tease on probably Tissot's finest. Not just finest for Baselworld 2012, but also one of the most sought after Tissot watches in the vintage scene. Tissot teases us with a piece from its vast heritage of watches. A few weeks to go before Basel and we got ourselves the Tissot Heritage PR516. A tribute and homage to the original PR516. The entire piece looks exceptionally good retaining the original markings, sized at 40mm and with a sapphire case back to showcase the automatic movement of the watch. The piece will be available in steel or PVD gold with the option to choose from a racing leather strap or a steel big hole bracelet. Stay tune for more until the official unveiling in Basel.   (via Hodinkee)
