Citizen C7 Series Automatic 40mm NH8390-20L
4 interest free payments of $94.25
The Citizen NH8390-20L is a men's automatic watch that puts a mechanical movement on display without asking a mechanical price. The 40.2mm stainless steel case sits at a comfortable 13.1mm height and frames a deep blue dial with applied stroke indices and a day-date window at three o'clock, all protected by crystal glass.
Turn it over and the exhibition caseback reveals the rotor and gear train at work. A black leather strap on a 20mm lug width keeps the whole piece light at 67 grams and gives it a clean, dress-leaning look that still holds up in a pair of jeans.
Inside is Citizen's calibre 8200, a 21-jewel Japanese automatic movement that winds itself from the motion of your wrist and runs for around 40 hours when fully wound, with an accuracy of roughly ±20 seconds a day. It's the same self-winding calibre Citizen has refined for decades, which is exactly why it's a sensible first automatic watch or a low-fuss daily wearer for anyone who wants a mechanical movement without the maintenance anxiety.
Water resistant to 5 bar (50 metres), it handles rain, hand-washing and the occasional splash. Wear it to the office, to dinner, and on the weekend without changing it — a men's blue dial automatic watch this versatile rarely needs a second thought.
What we love about this watch: The NH8390-20L is the automatic that proves you don't need to spend big to own something genuinely mechanical. The blue dial has real depth in daylight, the day-date is practical rather than decorative, and that see-through caseback turns every glance at the wrist into a small reminder of why automatics are worth having. Add Citizen's Japanese reliability and a 5-year warranty from Citizen Watches Australia, and it's one of the smartest entry points into mechanical watches we sell.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Citizen NH8390-20L need a battery?
No. The NH8390-20L is a self-winding automatic watch powered by Citizen's calibre 8200, which winds from the movement of your wrist. If you take it off for a couple of days it will stop, as the power reserve is around 40 hours; simply wind the crown a few turns or wear it again and it restarts. It carries a 5-year warranty from Citizen Watches Australia.
Can I swim or shower with this watch?
It's water resistant to 5 bar (50 metres), which covers rain, hand-washing and splashes with confidence. We'd avoid swimming, showering or hot water, both because 5 bar is not a dive rating and because the leather strap will deteriorate if regularly soaked.
Is 40.2mm a good size for a men's dress watch?
Yes — 40.2mm is the sweet spot for most men's wrists, large enough to read easily and show off the blue dial, but slim enough at 13.1mm to sit under a shirt cuff. At 67 grams on a leather strap, it wears lighter than a steel-bracelet automatic, so it's comfortable for all-day wear. The strap fits a 20mm lug, making it easy to swap if you want a different look.
