Tsuno Chrono Racer is crafted in Super Titanium, 40% lighter and 5x more durable than stainless steel. Inspired by Citizen's original 1972 introduction of the Challenge Timer collection, it features 1/5th of a second flyback chronograph, tachymeter, alarm, complete with luminous hands and markers a domed sapphire crystal over a sharp green dial. "Horned" in Japanese, the "Tsuno" bull head construction has the crown and chronograph pushers located at the top of the case. This is the ultimate timepiece for a racing enthusiast and collector.
The box the Tsuno comes in is the typical Citizen black box nothing dramatic like the 50th anniversary edition; that being said, this watch does not need to rely on the looks of the box to give a dramatic first impression. The time piece speaks for itself. This watch wears big in my opinion; It does not look odd (or small) on my 8" wrist. The time piece itself reflects light well. The watch dial is well made. Lines in the detail of the watch is very sporty and elegant at the same time. I have worn this in both casual and formal occaisons. The piece at this price point does not disappoint. I highly recommend that you add one of these into your collection. Only1973 world wide. I think it may be one of those watches that will appreciate over time. It truly competes with the other options out there that are more expensive in this category.
