Citizen Speedmaster Watch Review
The Citizen watch features a large chronograph display with a classic design that at first glance is made to resemble the Omega Speedmaster watch. There are 3 sub-dials on display which are used for constant seconds, 12 hour chronograph and 60 minute chronograph. There’s also a useful date display at the 3 o’clock position.
They’ve gone for white time keeping hands that stand out nicely against the satin black dial. The white baton hour markers are also very easy to see. The hands and dots by the hour markers have a coating of lume for better visibility in dim lit conditions.
The casing is made of stainless steel and has a diameter of 39mm with a thickness of 10mm. The lug width is 20mm. The bezel is in a fixed position with a tachymeter feature. Note that the crown on this Citizen Speedmaster does not screw down.
Type Of Crystal
Protecting the front of this timepiece is a mineral crystal glass that’s been specially hardened to offer a good level of scratch and shatter resistance.
Watch Movement
Powering the Speedmaster Citizen is a quartz 0510 chronograph movement that’s both accurate and reliable.
Strap
The strap of this watch is also made of stainless steel with brushed outer links and polished centre links. They’ve used a double folding clasp with a saftey catch.
