Citizen’s latest watches combine 1970s style with a modern solar-powered movement that offers 1 year of power on a full charge, effectively doubling their standard Eco-Drive battery life. The movement is also accurate to +/- 15 seconds per month for tremendously good timekeeping. The angular 42.5mm cases look like nothing else offered today, and the special dials show off starry night skies that have stunning visual depth. The three colorways include steel with gold accentuated with four lab-grown ruby markers, a black ion-plated version, and one that combines a steel case with a black bezel. The steel and gold is a limited edition, and the other two are regular production models. For the price, they offer unparalleled retro style and a totally no-nonsense movement that will never let you down.
