My new favorite

Really am enjoying this watch. I have one other Citizens that’s more formal with a metal van, but I’ve always liked leather bands, but the thing I’ve never liked about is having to put the metal piece through the hole and you don’t have to do that even though it looks like you have that it’s a typical Citizens where you snap it on, nothing beats not having change batteries absolute must. I will never buy a watch that needs batteries changed in the future. They’re just too much of a pain and nobody knows how to do them anymore so I’m down to two watches and they both citizen drives.

Classic style, a truly hidden gem!

I was keen to find a watch with that classic, classy appeal, which had the day-date function. After doing some (okay, a lot) of research, I was about to buy a Tissot, when I discovered this gem. The pictures on the website don't do it any kind of justice! It is beautifully finished, with the day and date windows each having upward and downward slanting frames, which catch the light and add extra eye appeal. The crystal is domed, which gives it a beautiful distortion when seen at an angle, something I wasn't expecting - an added delight. The leather strap it comes on is beautiful as well, in faux alligator. It takes no time to break it in, and is super comfortable - you'll forget you're wearing the watch. Eco-Drive means you'll get at the very least 10 years without maintenance, although I've heard it can go to 20 years or more, and with the movement being rated at +/- 15 seconds a month, but mine running at -3, I will never buy another mechanical watch! The only down-side is that it's not a perpetual calendar, but you won't find that at this price point. Gorgeous and hassle-free; if you're undecided about this piece, I highly recommend just going for it. It'll get lots of compliments, too... beautiful things will do that.

Returned the watch

It is a beautiful watch, but returned because I did not like the latching mechanism required on the leather strap....Prefer the old style leather holes in the strap method....

Great watch, terrible strap

I love how this watch looks. It's beautiful. However the strap is terrible. I dont know why they have such a terrible strap with this watch.

My gorgeous watch

This watch is beautiful, gorgeous. I love the case/strap color combination. I do think a reference should have been included that showed a video on how to use a deployment clasp. I struggled with the clasp once or twice until I found a how-to-video.

Beautiful and good quality

The watch is beautifully vintage in its gold color. The gold looks much better in person than from the pictures online. The sapphire crystal at this price point is a game changer. Excellent watch for the value and fast shipping.

Great watch

I purchased two of these watches and so far they have been an excellent choice, they look professional and are good quality. I did read a prior review about not liking the clasp vs the standard strap style buckle and was pleasantly surprised how easy the clasp worked – it also has the benefit of the clasp taking the stress off the strap and onto the clasp which should help the leather strap last longer. It took about thirty seconds to learn how operate but I do like the option!

Love this watch

Bought the watch for eco drive and good looks. But it is a beauty and way better looking than the online pictures.
