Citizen Military Automatics - big, solid, and colorful!

citizenmillitary

These military automatic watches use the Miyota 8200 mentioned in my previous blog entry. The case has a nice 40mm diameter. It looks much more prominent and cheerful when compared to similar military design from Seiko. The crown is not of screw-down type and it is unsigned. The rated water resistance is 100 meter. The feel of the casing is heavy and solid. The crystal is slightly domed. It is mineral. All hands and the numeral on the dial have blue lume. Yes, that includes the second hand. The lume is on the small rectangular shape on the second hand. This reminds me of certain Ball model.

As you can see from the picture, there are many colors to choose from. I’m particularly fond of the camouflage one (NH7350-03YT). In real life, the strap appears a little bit silky and shiny (as oppose from matt that is typically expected of canvas). The shine is quite subtle.

There is also a bracelet version. I personally think the colored straps are more cheerful and fun. It is perfect as a traveling or outdoor watch.

Note: For more information about the Miyota 8200 movement. Please read my previous entry.
