The Citizen Series 8 is the Japanese brand's premium automatic series: men's models, all water resistant to 10 ATM, with a refined case and an integrated bracelet. We are an official Citizen dealer, we deliver to your door with the manufacturer warranty, and if it ever needs servicing, our own watch service handles the whole process.
How is the Series 8 different from other Citizen automatics?
The Series 8 gets a more refined case, more careful finishing and a stronger movement than the basic Automatic or the Tsuyosa. It has modern, more angular shapes, an integrated bracelet, and in many places an alternation of polished and satin-brushed surfaces. Citizen also protects the movement against magnetic influences, which is useful if you sit next to a laptop and phone all day.
Which Series 8 models are available?
- The classic Series 8 line, mostly with a sporty look.
- The Automatic Series models, with a more elegant dial.
- All are water resistant to 10 ATM (100 m), so swimming is fine.
Is the Series 8 worth it compared with the Tsuyosa?
Honestly: if you are drawn to a colourful dial and a friendlier price, the Tsuyosa is the better choice. But if you want an automatic that feels noticeably finer in the hand, is 10 ATM and will stay your watch for decades, the Series 8 is the next step up. You can see all Citizen automatics together on the Citizen brand page.
It is worth viewing the two side by side on the product pages: the case thickness, the finish of the bracelet and the movement specifications show the difference well.
