Citizen Series 8 Limited Edition Automatic 40mm NB6052-56W

The Citizen Series 8 831 NB6052-56W is a men’s automatic watch, made as a limited edition of 650 watches released globally, that brings warmth to Citizen’s most design-led mechanical collection. The 40mm gold-tone stainless steel case is 10.5mm thick and frames a brown to burgundy dial with a quilted texture, baton markers and a date window. A sapphire crystal sits over the dial, and a matching gold-tone steel bracelet closes with a deployment clasp. Turn it over and a transparent caseback shows the movement at work.

That movement is Citizen’s in-house calibre 9051. It runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour with a power reserve of approximately 42 hours, and its hacking seconds let you set the time precisely. Magnetic resistance up to 16,000 A/m protects its accuracy from phones, laptops and magnetic clasps, which matters on a watch made to be worn every day.

Series 8 debuted in Japan in 2008, and Citizen later relaunched it for a global audience. It’s now one of the strongest arguments for Japanese mechanical watchmaking at this price. With 100m water resistance, this gold-tone automatic with sapphire crystal is as comfortable at the pool as it is at dinner. 

What we love about this watch:
The NB6052-56W takes a risk most gold-tone watches avoid. Instead of the usual black or champagne dial, Citizen paired the warm case and bracelet with a brown to burgundy quilted dial, and the combination is richer than either colour on its own. At 10.5mm thick, it also slips under a shirt cuff more easily than most automatics of its size.
