Introducing the Citizen Series 8 watch, reference NB6050-51W. This watch is equipped with the mechanical caliber 9051, which features anti-magnetic properties. The movement's accuracy is quite high, with a deviation of approximately 5 seconds per day when the watch is lying flat on its case back.

The power reserve is 42 hours, which is standard for many modern automatic watches. The model also has water resistance up to 100 meters, making it practical for everyday use, although the crown is not a screw-down type.

Unique Dial and Striking Design

One of the most notable features of this watch is its dial. It comes in a dark green color, described as not flashy or overly bright. This allows the watch to be worn even with formal attire and business suits.

The dial has an interesting texture composed of shimmering squares and rectangles. Thanks to this pattern, it plays beautifully with light, changing its shade from a rich green to almost black. The crystal is sapphire with an anti-reflective coating, which improves readability.

Overall, the watch's design is described as striking and dressy. It catches the eye but remains within the bounds of an elegant style.

Case and Bracelet Finishing

The watch case has a rather complex shape with multiple facets, indicating a high level of finishing. The finish combines different techniques, giving the watch a premium look.

  • Predominantly satin-finished (brushed finish).
  • The bezel and some side facets of the case are polished to a mirror shine.
  • The bracelet is also mostly satin-finished.

The bracelet clasp is solid, but its execution is described as 'simplistic,' with a standard laser engraving. The case diameter is 40 mm, which is a versatile size for most wrists.

Who Is This Watch For?

This model is positioned as a watch from Citizen's more expensive segment, marking a 'foray into premium.' This is evidenced not only by the quality of the finishing but also by the packaging box with a transparent lid, which is uncharacteristic for the brand.

This watch is well-suited for an office style or for individuals whose work involves communication. For example, a client-facing manager or a car dealership salesperson who values a presentable appearance and a match with a business suit.

The anti-magnetic protection makes it particularly relevant in the modern urban environment, which is full of magnetic field sources: subway gates, gadgets, and electronic devices. The watch looks harmonious on an average wrist with a circumference of about 18.5 cm.
