Remarkable Citizen Series 8 Automatic Watches

Most people know Citizen mainly from their Eco-Drive solar watches. But did you know that Citizen also produces high quality automatic watches? With the Series 8 automatics, Citizen has presented a series of beautiful, modern watches with neverending value.

In 2008 Citizen first launched the Series 8 in the Japanese market. The 8 stands for the year of introduction and for the never-ending bond between the watch and the wearer. The number 8 on its side is the symbol for infinity (∞). After all, an automatic watch will last you a lifetime if you maintain it properly. Now the Series 8 watches are available worldwide.

Modern design, thin movement and anti-magnetic

The Series 8 watches have a contemporary case design with clean, straight lines and an uncluttered layout. The combination of the angular, sober style and the matte hairline finish of the case and strap creates a modern, sporty look. The movements used in the Series 8 watches - Cal. 0950 and Cal. 9051 - were newly developed in house in 2021. 

The movement is only 4.1 mm thick, which allows for a thinner case and a comfortable fit.

In addition to these new movements, the watches have a high magnetic resistance which is essential in our modern digital society. It provides protection against magnetic fields generated by smartphones, tablets and other devices that can negatively affect the accuracy of the movement.

The magnetic resistance of these new models means that any magnetic fields they encounter have a negligible impact on their performance, even when placed 1 cm from a device that generates such a field.

The standard model Series 8

The standard model Series 8 (NB6010-81E) watch has a simple dial in 1 color. The hands taper towards the outer edge of the dial and the detailed index markers provide a dynamic look. Visibility is guaranteed by the scratch-resistant, anti-reflective sapphire crystal.

The watch is powered by a Cal.9051 automatic movement with a 42-hour power reserve.

Three-layer dial with mother-of-pearl and metal

The dial of the (NA1010-84X and NA1015-81Z) watches has three layers - a metal dial on the bottom, a mother-of-pearl layer in the middle and a metal grid with index marks on the top. The grid creates a delicate pattern, under which a rainbow-like sparkle adds a new layer and depth to the watch. Understated with a luxurious and exciting extra dimension.

The Cal. 0950 movement has a maximum run time of 50 hours and an accuracy of -5 to +10 seconds per day.

All Series 8 watches have a 40 mm octagonal steel case, are 10-11 mm thick, 10 ATM water resistant and feature a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating.

In 2022 the series 8 is extended with more colour variants.
