Citizen Watches Men's Chandler BM6838-09X

Product Information

And it’s during the 2000s and 2010s that Citizen did much of its acquisition work, turning itself into the global powerhouse we know today. Citizen Eco-Drive Chandler Overview

For one, Citizen invented the quartz movement. Most watches in the world use this technology now, and at the time, it was completely revolutionary. Quartz movements are much more precise than mechanical movements, and the invention flung Citizen to the forefront of the horological world. In contrast, the Seiko Propsex features a calendar, alarm, dual-time, and chronograph function. That’s less than half of what Citizen offers.Next up, we have another outstanding entry from the always game and fantastic Hamilton brand. Hamilton built their reputation on its robust, refined, and bold timepieces with an exceedingly American charm. The Chandler’s rugged design is another pro for this little watch. The pronounced crown guards, mineral crystal glass, and brushed stainless polish give this piece that tool watch designation it’s so clearly after. If you’re a watch fan like us, you’ll know that Citizen has been a leading watch manufacturer for solar tech since 1995. It all comes down to personal aesthetic preference. Field watches are daily beaters meant to be worn day in and day out while being able to tell time accurately.

Citizen specializes in making a lot of small electronic components like calculators, LCD components, and mini printers. They’re very innovative and a well-regarded watchmaker. The CITIZEN Garrison Military watch, polished and comfortable, is the perfect addition to your watch collection. Featured here in a stainless steel case, dark brown strap with evergreen dial and date. Featuring our Eco-Drive technology – powered by light, any light. Never needs a battery. Caliber number E111. Field watches take inspiration from the military watches of the 1940s and 1950s. Other than timepieces meant for aviation, these military watches were small, often in the 35-millimeter range. The lug width is a standard 18mm size, which is a proportional width to the case size, and is one of the most common widths. Keep this in mind in case you want to put it on a leather strap to take the BM8180-03E to the next level.The GMT/dual-time function and dial make it a head-turner timepiece. It’s also worth noting the Nighthawk stainless steel bracelet is one of the best we’ve ever seen and used. However, it’s much easier to reach the slide rule bezel of the Flightmaster than the Nighthawk. Verdict

The crown on this timepiece has a pleasing shape and has the stainless guards that dive watches are known for. I love the look of the case: plenty of chamfers around the dial and crown to give it a technical, but not too complicated style. The silver-tone 42mm case helps give this watch a proper balance regarding its aesthetics, while the Hardlex crystal further enhances the durability with its scratch-resistant construction. The build of the case also shows the Seiko 5 Sports a solid 100-meter water resistance. Citizen watches are some of the most popular in the world. But that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re any good.Victorinox is a Swiss brand, which means you get that impeccable Swiss level of quality. Besides the sturdy build, the Fieldforcealso offers excellent functionality. This modern field watch comes with a date/date display, aluminum bezel, and stamped dial design. There aren’t many complaints to levy against the Citizen Chandler, but there are a few design cues that could use some improvement. The high price tag, though, means that this field watch might be too steep for most. For enthusiasts, though, the IWC Spitfire offers something that can be well worth the price of admission. Tudor Heritage Ranger Automatic Watch (79910) Since these watches were initially designed for battle, it makes sense that a quality field watch should be durable. The cases are made of titanium or stainless steel and the straps are either nato-style nylon or genuine leather.

Needless to say, large credit is due to Seiko since they invented the quartz movements in itself, which is powered by the solar cell. Seiko Vs. Citizen: Which Is the Better Brand?

On that note, Citizen wins this match, not by a landslide, but by a single determining factor. Curious? Read on! To give you a better idea of what we mean, let us go over the detailed specifications of the Citizen Chandler. In particular, we will be taking a look at the Citizen Chandler Ref. BM8471-01E. If you prefer a smaller case diameter or prefer a cleaner dial with minimal text, Citizen is a good option. Each watch brand puts a lot of effort into manufacturing its pieces. Seiko and Citizen also have an extensive line of watches with various styles, series, and sub-brands. Orient’s Defender watch was a surprising entry from the manufacturer into the field watch market. Well, the jury is in, and Orient indeed passed the test with flying colors. So well that we included the upgraded model, Orient Defender 2, in this list.
