Citizen is building on its successful shift into automatics with the addition of a GMT to its new Series 8 collection.
The Series 8 880 Mechanical arrives 100 years since Citizen made its first ever timekeeper in the form of a pocket watch.
Eye-catching colours have been productive for Citizen, and the Japanese brand is building on its growing family of punchy dials with a Series 8 designed with a mother-of-pearl face with light grey to sky blue gradation that looks like the surface of a summer sea.
The limited edition of 2,200 pieces worldwide houses a magnetic-resistant automatic Miyota Cal. 9054 movement powering hours, minutes, seconds, date and a second timezone GMT hand pointing to a dark blue and black day/night 24-hour bi-directional bezel.
The movement, which has a 50 hour power reserve and accuracy of around -10/+20 per day, is visible through an exhibition case back of a 41mm steel case with grey and blue colouring extending to an integrated bracelet.
The watch is on sale now for $1,995.
