Reliable and lightweight modern chronograph

I'd like to introduce you to my latest acquisition: a Citizen Zenshin Chrono (reference CA4610-85Z). Realizing that I wear my quartz watches very often for their practicality, and not yet owning an Eco-Drive model, this watch is perfectly timed. Moreover, it's a chronograph, a complication I particularly appreciate. Regarding the dial color, I opted for salmon (or coppery orange) for the contrast. Indeed, the silver hour markers and hands stand out beautifully against this background, offering optimal legibility. I also appreciate the sunburst finish, which plays with the light, shifting from a soft coppery rose to a more intense orange depending on the angle. In terms of complications, this chronograph features three subdials (60 minutes, 24 hours, and small seconds) as well as a date window at 4:30. The Eco-Drive technology is renowned for its reliability; The peace of mind that comes with a long-lasting movement that doesn't require a battery change is a real plus. Finally, the case and bracelet are made of titanium (Super Titanium), which is very pleasant due to its light weight while still offering a robust look. Its design is versatile, ideal for both the office and the weekend. In my opinion, the integrated bracelet gives this watch a vintage "sport-chic" look. With a diameter of 42 mm, it has a strong presence on my 18.5 cm wrist while remaining comfortable. I'm delighted with my purchase, which, barring any mishaps, will last a long time.
