In this new timepiece, Citizen reveals its Caliber 9051, a new automatic movement using anti-magnetic materials to strengthen the magnetic resistance of the watch. The surprisingly lightweight watch is ultra large which should make it appealing to divers and it has a massive bezel and a domed sapphire crystal. its handsome black dial is finished with an attractive hobnail pattern known as clou de Paris which literally means nails of Paris while the crucial minute and seconds hands are in orange with a luminescent coating for high visibility underwater. The professional diver’s watch is outfitted with a long rubber strap that can be lengthened with an extension for it to be worn over a wet suit.

Founded in 1918, the house philosophy has always been « Better Starts Now ». And the house has created patented technologies like its Eco-Drive which runs on light and its Satellite Wave, synchronized by satellite.
