![[Citizen] Japanese gem](https://alien.top/pictrs/image/7eefcbe4-6706-4ff4-ab77-9cf20885cff7.webp){kind=link}
The dial is definitely the main event here. Every dial is hand made and unique, produced by applying multiple layers of lacquer over silver leaf followed by oven firing (similar to enamel), then carefully hand polished to an incredible sheen. Size is quintessential modern dress watch (38x46.5mm), and sapphire is beautifully domed, almost perfectly integrated with the bezel.
For me, this is one of the very few watches from a mainstream brand that offers more bang for buck than most micros.
What an interesting dial!
Got mine on the bracelet today
I’ve wanted it since first I saw it, unfortunately for me it’s damn too expensive for a watch that just tells the time and date.
For a normal person it’s a lot of money, but for watch nuts this represents some of the best value on the market for <$1k. Even crazier that it comes from a big brand like citizen.
Beautiful dial!
The disrespect to not lick that watch clean and post a macro. But yes, citizen and Seiko have some JDM only models that are incredibly intricate and hand done dial.
What’s the model
NB1060-12L
The limited edition green dial variant (NB1062) is arguably even nicer. 🍵
I love this watch. However, with my 8 inch wrist it would look like I was wearing a dime. 42mm; different story.
I personally think it would look great on your tree trunk
I’ve got an 8 inch, very flat wrist and wear a 36mm King Seiko all the time. You can definitely pull off 38!
Incredible dial. Mesmerizing.
Beautiful, for a moment I thought it was seiko presage
Reasonable! I have my share of seikos but I think this one beats out just about anything from Seiko <$1k
It really does 💪💪
I have this and a Seiko Presage Sharp Edged (sub 1k). Finishing, bracelet, clasp, is better on the Seiko. Dial is equally mesmerizing on both, movement is superior on the Citizen.
Is it the Ti or steel version? I have the titanium SARX055, tough to compare Ti vs steel finishing but bracelet is definitely considerably better on the SARX than the standard NB1050.
But the NB1060 doesn’t come on bracelet so that’s also not really comparable
Strap?
Cheap canvas strap from AliExpress. Quality is really great, very supple (feels like several layers of quality leather) and well finished edges. Minimal creasing so far.
