Purchased about a year ago from a retailer in Europe. Fantastic looks solid feel very light titanium. Great time keeping. This watch feels like it could cost thousands. I have been collecting watches for about 40 years now and own some prestigious brands. Nothing missing from this one well priced and tremendous value.
It's wide: 46mm. It's light, but because it's tall -- 21mm from caseback to bezel -- it had a high center of gravity. It feels tall and it may take some getting used to from people who have never worn big watches. This is definitely a t-shirt and jeans watch. The dial is deep, maybe 10 to 12 mm from bezel to dial -- and a good 7 or 8 mm from crystal to dial -- the bezel isn't loomed or painted, and the minute hashes are on a sloped down, so it isn't as easy to time and read small increments as it is on many other dive watches. In short, it's isn't as practical as many traditionally designed, ISO complaint divers. So why does it get five stars? Because it's a well-designed, forward looking, fun and attractive watch with a rock solid and accurate movement. It has a cool degrade, hobnail grey dial that looks great. Add that to the distortion free crystal and the deep dial looks even better. I really enjoy looking at the dial, it a cool effect. The bezel turns easily with firm clicks and everything aligns. The case is nicely finished. Bracelet with micro adjust. The 9051 movement is rock solid. It's running at about -1.5 s/d, which is fantastic, and it has similar anti-magnetic properites to METAS movements, so I don't to worry about my watch becoming magnetized, which, unfortunately, is a common hazard today. It doesn't look like anything else out there, and it's super fun to wear. It's not a GADA watch, it's definitely a weekend warrior, but I look forward to when I do wear it.
One of the best Citizen watches I ever bought,,!!! Excellent in every way,,!!!! Even for the size its really not heavy at all. Whenever I wear it people always ask me about it and they admire it. Keep up the great work over there !!!
Great build quality and aggressive appearance. Yes, it is a large watch but the weight is very comfortable. The Titanium looks amazing and really helps with the weight. I was a little unsure about the size but it looks incredible and seems to keep very accurate time. I’ll know better after I’ve had it a while. Definitely glad I purchased this watch!
