Citizen World Perpetual

[MLC166]

I was given this watch as a fathers day gift, chuffed to bits. I'm a big Seiko fan so don't often look at Citizen. I have to be honest I'm really impressed with the quality and overall look of the watch. The first thing that struck me was the weight, its really light, far lighter that any other watch I own. The titanium looks like smokey stainless steel.

The watch has a sapphire crystal which has anti reflective coating. Its fairly large at 43mm but not too thick so will sit under a shirt without issue. The accuracy is without question and the watch synced with the signal overnight. Its worth pointing out that the seconds hand hits the markers as it ticks away without fail, which is rare on any watch.

My Eco Drive was bought back in 2003 and is Still Going strong. Just make sure you have it in the Sun on a Morning to properly charge it.

Very nice. I get my Citizen Eco Drive Red Arrows World Time in a week. They look and feel a lot more expensive than they are. Can't wait to take mine travelling.

They're a hugely under-rated brand that just make good watches without shouting about it.

Their spares and service backup is first rate as well - recently ordered in a stainless steel, screw-down, 200m rated crown for a non-uk model (that they had to get in from Japan). It arrived within 2 weeks, at well under 1/2 the price of an equivalent generic crown, and about 1/5 that of most Swiss branded ones!
