Citizen 'The Citizen' Chronomaster Tosa Washi Dial AQ4030-51E
Citizen 'The Citizen' Chronomaster Tosa Washi Dial AQ4030-51E
Is this the best accessibly priced quartz watch in the world? We can't think of another that combines functionality, beauty, construction and execution to the same level that this does for anywhere near the same money. Special thing.
Featuring a brushed and polished 40mm case in titanium, that is 46.5mm lug-to-lug and 12.5mm and coated with Citizens Duratect Alpha hard coating for scratch resistance. Within this case lies a deep black Tosa Washi dial, which is a process of laying down Washi papers beneath the dial which makes for a textured effect, which is subtle and changeable depending on lighting condition. It's topped with applied lumed markers which sit inboard of a steeply sloped rehaut with minute track, and is topped with lumed hands for maximum functionality.
The movement is a high accuracy quartz, which is solar powered and features a perpetual calendar accurate until the year 2100. It also features a quick set hour hand, and a sleep-mode to extend battery life when left out of sunlight. Once it is exposed again it starts up, and moves clockwise until it reaches the current time. Very cool, and practical.
Finishing it off is a wonderful titanium bracelet, allowing the watch to be super-light, and further enhancing it's ability to be the perfect grab-and-go watch.
This particular example was first purchased in April 2022 and presents in TZ 'Near Mint' condition, with only the lightest signs of any use on the case in the form of some swirlies and some very light surface marks. Please see images for full condition details.
The bracelet includes all links, with some very light desk dive marks.
No service history, much too new for that. All functions operating as they should.
Comes with outer box, inner box, owners club booklet, warranty paperwork dated April 2022 and spare links to complete the bracelet.
