In fact, my first thoughts were of ‘70s automatic chronographs from the brand with their slightly angular case designs. When we move on to the “The Citizen” Caliber 0200 watch itself, I’d say that it looks very much like a Citizen indeed. The movement has 60 hours of power reserve and can be seen via a display case back. This certificate is only achieved after 17 days of testing at in various positions and temperatures. Citizen provides a certificate of compliance stating that the movements achieve better than COSC performance with daily accuracy of -3 to +5 seconds per day. It uses a free-sprung balance wheel to aid in shock resistance all while running at 28,800vph. The Citizen Caliber 0200 and its automatic movement boast some interesting specifications. The first new mechanical movement since 2010 Regarding the movement, it is made in Japan, but La Joux-Perret provided know-how related to finishing.

I suppose it’s worth repeating that Citizen owns several brands that might surprise you. All that changes now with The Citizen Caliber 0200. However, us mechanical geeks have largely been left wanting.

Gerard went diving with one not too long ago and I truly enjoy my Promaster Tough. Regarding modern Citizen watches, color us intrigued. Vintage Citizen is my current passion and I’m doing my utmost to pile them up like cordwood. If you’re accustomed to reading Fratello, you know that we’re fans of Citizen. Let’s take a look at The Citizen Caliber 0200. As we’ll see, it will come at a price, but it’s a step in the right direction. Today is a reason to celebrate because Citizen is finally bringing us a high-end mechanical movement.
