Not the greatest pic, but you get the idea:



I've had my eye on these for a LONG time & they're getting harder to find.
I sent off to Amazon.co.uk for this one.

I LOVE IT.
Solid bracelet, 200m, great lume.... it's built like a tank. You can get 'em with the cloth strap, but I was for bracelet all the way.

Suddenly Citizen has overtaken the Orient & Sako count in my box.
Hmmmmm, gonna have to do something about that.

Cheers,

My Citizen box has been growing steadily over the last couple of years, I've overlooked the brand because they don't have as much to offer in automatic's but I've found I'm not as prejudiced against quartz watches as I thought I was, having several of the eco-drives now that I really like and finaly a few of the citizen auto's too I can safely say If you don't own a few citizens  you are missing out!

All of my name-brand Citizens are eco drives.
I enjoy the forever-reliability of them--to say nothing of the styling of the particular models that have grabbed my interest.
As to the automatics...
I'm a fan of the Miyota movement, primarily cuz I enjoy the hand-wind method over the Seiko/Orient "shake & bake."
The problem for me has been finding examples of styling I *like combined with the Miyota movement in an affordable package.
Hence, so far, my Zeno Explorer is currently my only example of the above-mentioned movement.
As I've already posted, I'm excited about the new Seiko hand-wind movement. I hope they continue to introduce more models.
I'll post my next potential Citizen interest in a separate thread.

cheers,
