Meanwhile, the rose gold variation is presented with a silver-hued dial and bezel, alongside a beige-pink strap.Īll three models will be available to shop via Citizen’s website starting June 5. Each version is paired with a complementing rubber strap, this includes a tonal one for the black colorway, and an electric blue strap for the reference with a deep blue dial and bezel. On land, the timepieces function just as well for everyday wear, complete with three colorways to choose from. Operating the pieces are Citizen’s own Eco-Drive E168 movement, a calibre that can be powered via any ambient light source, with a running time of up to 6 months once fully charged. From the stainless steel case, lume-filled indices and hands, and 200m of water resistance, to its underwater-friendly 4 o’clock screw-down crown, the watch is geared with all the necessary functions fit for enthusiasts and certified divers. Hell, it's a pretty damned compelling offering as it is – the combination of Eco-Drive tech with a mechanical stop/start/reset system for the chronograph makes this one of the most interesting and enjoyable watches I've had on in a while, and at the asking price, I don't know that there's a more enjoyable '70s-style chronograph out there right now: easy to buy, simple to use, and flat out fun.Arriving in a 37mm case size, the new rendition caters to all genders who want to sport a smaller watch, or have smaller wrists. A version of this watch with drilled standard lugs would be a very compelling offering.
The only downside I can see to the four models is not so much a downside as a design decision – the use of integrated bracelets/straps means it will be difficult to swap out the OEM straps and bracelets for something else. The case is a solidly made, very nicely finished ode to the straightforward visual pleasures of precision-machined steel and if you don't care for the integrated bracelet (which is also very solidly made) there are a couple of other models that come on very substantial-looking leather straps.
I'd never had a chance to spend any real wrist-time with the Caliber 2100 before it was discontinued, but the new Tsuno chronographs are pretty sweet.
