Citizen Mechanical Automatic 40mm NH9138-82A

The Citizen NH9138-82A is a men’s open heart automatic watch that puts traditional watchmaking on show. A cut-out at the lower left of the silver dial reveals the balance wheel beating at 21,600 vibrations per hour. Silver Roman numerals frame the dial, giving it a formal, classic face. The 40mm stainless steel case is just 10.7mm thick and is finished with scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. It sits on a matching stainless steel bracelet, so the whole watch is one clean, bright piece of steel.

Turn it over and a see-through caseback shows Citizen’s in-house calibre 8229, a 21-jewel Japanese automatic movement with its winding rotor. It winds itself as you wear it, can also be wound by hand at the crown, and holds about 42 hours of power reserve with no battery.

It is water resistant to 100 metres, which is more than most dress watches offer, so you don’t need to take it off at the beach or the pool. For anyone after a silver-dial automatic dress watch with sapphire crystal that suits boardroom and weekend alike, this delivers real mechanical character without the luxury price.

What we love about this watch: The NH9138-82A gives you the open heart’s view of the movement without any of the fuss. The silver dial and Roman numerals make it feel like a proper gentleman’s dress watch, while the 100m water resistance and steel bracelet mean you’ll actually wear it every day instead of saving it for weddings.
