Another quartz classic, I might add ?

Well done, Zac !

 

Thanks, Russ! Indeed, another quartz classic.

 

Very nice. Ti?

 

Stainless steel, though Citizen has done Super Titanium variants, which I’d imagine feel like less than a feather on the wrist. This is already very light.

 

Whoa, that's very cool!

 

Excellent; congrats and enjoy!!

 

Under my stereo microscope, it’s a glitter party. Interesting to note the alternating thickness of each line - thin, thick.

 

If you wanna see something cool, reflect the dial on a surface to see the photovoltaic cells and the electrodes, though I don't know if that would work with yours.

 

That's looker.👍

 

Very cool.

I think it would feel kinda wired having something THAT thin against your wrist.

The Stilettos were pushing that concept at 5mm but that is next-level.

Makes me wonder how thick the battery is?

Doubtful there is anything particularly special about the battery thickness. Titan has been making quartz watches that are 2mm thick, cased (so 1mm thinner than this, though not solar powered) for over 2 decades now that use easily available button cells.

 

Wow. Very cool. The dial is really neat. And the watch is incredibly thin... holy crap.

I honestly don't know I would feel wearing a watch that thin. I have grown to appreciate the bulk and heft of my watch, and it feels reassuring to me feeling it on my wrist.

Something else I noticed is that you appear to wear your watch way tighter than I wear mine. I allow for a little bit of play, and wear my bracelet relatively loose. I can tighted up the quick adjust to remove all the extra room so the watch doesn't move, but I rarely wear it like that.

 

A very nice watch. I have one and I just compared the thickness to my Finisimo.

Great watch there!

 

As much as I like Seiko, there’s a lot more to like about Citizen. It just seems as if they are very much underrated for what you get for the price.

 

I'd tend to agree. I forget who exactly, but one person said something along the lines of "Citizen is a company ran by engineers, while Seiko is ran by marketers". Not to say I don't love my GS!

 

Very nice!

 

That’s what I was going to say!

 

Congratulations! Very nice addition to your fleet! I was at a Citizen store a few weeks ago and saw one. They are not inexpensive, so I know you are a serious watch person when you got this. I couldn't justify the price at the time, since I was only weeks away from retirement and had other higher priority things on my bucket list.

 

 

Yeah, the Eco Drive Ones are amazing. Got one of the first models released. Hadn't seen this one; I quite like it, the dial is lively.

With these, actually, titanium can make it too light. Mine has a cermet bezel...not something they do any more. it's on leather, and it's soooo light I regularly forget I have a watch on.

I'd go with the small seconds version now...it's a tad thicker, but heck, 4.5 mm total is still super-thin. It's not critical; 2-handers don't really encourage going all OCD about precisely setting them, and that is actually liberating.

 

What’s up with the crown?

 

It's hexagonal in shape (probably to aid in helping your fingernail find a corner to pop it out to the setting position). Funnily enough, it's about as thick as the watch.

 

Impressed.

 

That is a lot of watch in a small amount of space!!! It looks amazing too. Congrats!!!

 

Very cool watch but that crown looks diabolical.

 

I always take a look at them when I visit the big boutiques, and they really have to be seen in person to be appreciated; you'd think they're some kind of concept or art display rather than a real watch. Incredible engineering, and they make for a very striking presence, thinness nonwithstanding.

 

Definitely on my list as a replacement for my dress watch. Citizen is killing it.

 

Cool watch. I'd love to see one in person, although Citizen doesn't sell them here.

I've seen the Bulgari and the photo one member posted comparing it to ther Octo Finissimo is mind blowing considering how thin the Bulgari is!

 

A fine example of Japanese horological prowess. Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

 

Well done sir. 👏

 

Very nice , in my opinion, quartz or not.

 

Remarkable design, props to Citizen on their technical prowess in the Eco Drive One. I own a Stiletto tank, when I handle it I smile, finding it's elegant design and slimness very satisfying. I too agree Citizen continues to up it's game w/ novel technology and enjoyable designs.
