The Citizen Automatic Series: A Mission of Accessibility
For over a century, Citizen has been on a mission to provide watches for every taste and budget. And they've certainly delivered! With a range of premium to affordable options, Citizen ensures quality, reliability, and precision for all. But here's where it gets controversial...
Citizen's latest offerings, the NJ0210 Dress Series and the NJ022 Diver-Style Series, are priced well below €250, making them incredibly accessible. But are they truly 'dress' and 'diver' watches? Let's find out!
The NJ0210 Dress Series: Classic with a Twist
The NJ0210 series offers a classic, casual look that's perfect for everyday wear. With a 40mm stainless steel case and a thickness of 13.02mm, these watches feature stepped lugs and a polished bezel, giving them a sleek and modern appeal.
Available in black, blue, or silvery-white, the dials are detailed with an angled flange and a railroad track design. The faceted hands, although lacking lume, add a touch of elegance. A date window at 3 o'clock completes the look.
Powered by the reliable Calibre 8210 movement, these timepieces offer a 3Hz frequency and a 40-hour power reserve. The NJ0210 series is priced at €239 on a leather strap and €249 on a steel bracelet, making them an excellent value proposition.
The NJ022 Diver-Style Series: Sporty and Affordable
If you're seeking a sporty look without breaking the bank, the NJ022 series is a perfect choice. While not true dive watches, these compact steel timepieces offer a more restrained thickness of 11.5mm and a 100m water resistance, ideal for summer adventures.
With fixed bezels and metallic inserts, these watches feature tone-on-tone designs in black, green, and a subtle grey/silver. The green and black versions come with a stainless steel bracelet, while the grey/silver model sports a light pink urethane strap, adding a unique touch.
Priced identically to the NJ0210 series, the NJ022 Diver-Style watches offer excellent value for those seeking a sporty look.
The Bottom Line
Citizen's latest releases prove that accessibility doesn't have to compromise on style or quality. With these ultra-affordable automatic watches, Citizen continues its mission to provide timepieces for every budget.
And this is the part most people miss... Citizen's in-house production capabilities mean these watches offer some of the best quality-price ratios on the market.
So, what do you think? Are these Citizen watches a step towards democratizing luxury, or are they simply entry-level timepieces? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
