rediscovery of a Japanese legend

4.7

This is my very first Citizen. Until recently, I admit that this brand seemed a little obscure to me. In my mind, it was a distant name, without much resonance. And then, while reading an article, I discovered something I hadn't suspected: Citizen is an incredibly rich Japanese brand, with a fascinating past and an almost infinite range of watches. That's when I rediscovered a model that had crossed my mind without ever really staying there: the Aqualand JP2000. A cult watch, worn by Jean Reno in The Big Blue. A true love at first sight. The design of this watch immediately captivated me. It's a true tool watch: robust, functional, with no frills. Its diving strap, the almost soft feel of the case, and especially the integrated onboard computer with a depth gauge located on the left side... All of this gives the watch a unique, technical, and masculine style. It's not just a beautiful object: it's a watch designed for diving, for adventure, for real-life conditions. And it's a real veteran—no pun intended. Produced continuously since the 1980s, the Aqualand JP2000 is a true living legend. It quickly found its place in my collection. It's not a watch like any other. It exudes real personality, while remaining perfectly wearable for everyday use. Sure, it's a little chunky, but its diameter is contained, and the overall proportions are very balanced. It achieves that rare balance between wrist presence and comfort. It's a watch that asserts itself, but doesn't try to overdo it. Citizen has always been renowned for the quality of its watches, and this Aqualand is no exception. The luminiva is simply exceptional. The hands are also well-designed: a cathedral hour hand, an orange minute hand, and a second hand shaped like a speargun arrow. Yes, just that. And it's superb. Even the caseback is worth a closer look: the technical markings, the brushed metal, the pin buckle... Everything exudes quality and attention to detail. This Aqualand was a real revelation. Not only did it give me a new perspective on Citizen, but it also made me want to discover other models in the Promaster range. It combines heritage, technical prowess, and originality. I wear it with its original strap as well as with a NATO strap or an aged leather strap. It's an endearing, effective, and decidedly different watch. Quite simply, a gem.

Officine Citizen

3.8

This Citizen Grand Touring from The Signature collection is a unique piece that I fell in love with a few years ago and was able to acquire after a fitting at Occarat. Its size is substantial and its weight is significant, especially in steel, so a preliminary fitting is essential. In my opinion, it's a unique piece in the Citizen range, positioned just above the brand's most prestigious line: The Citizen. This model introduced me to the history of Citizen, which I then perceived as a Japanese quartz-oriented, entry-level watch brand. I discovered the facets of a manufacturer with impressive expertise, even boasting master watchmakers capable of performing zaratsu polishing, similar to that offered by Grand Seiko. Its blue sandwich dial takes on deep reflections, and its indexes alternate between folded and brushed, creating a truly striking play of light. The anti-reflective coating is simply the best of any watch I own, which accentuates the beauty of the dial. I've been told several times that I've broken the crystal of my watch and that the dial seemed to be exposed. Under the hood, its 9015 manufacture movement is a reminder that Citizen, under the Miyota banner, is one of the world's largest movement manufacturers, again with a very extensive range. We can't finish without mentioning its crown guard, which inevitably brings to mind Panerai. It's clearly not my favorite part of the watch, but it manages to be forgotten when your eyes get lost in the reflections of the dial.
