The average price of a Citizen is considerably below this model so at first I hesitated, but I am happy that I went ahead with the purchase.

It is an elegant and attractive beauty! I have four Citizen Eco-Drives, and this one is reserved for traveling, nights out and exec meeting days. The band is also very nice, marked "Genuine Crocodile" and feels it. The limited edition claim is evidently quite real - the back identifies which number among the issue of 2500.

Although it is rated to be water-resistant enough for swimming I do not believe anyone would want to do that with this one - does not seem like it would be that good for the band - but nice to know that if one gets pushed into a swimming pool or goes overboard a pleasure boat that the watch would probably not be harmed at all.

The features are useful and the design is very well thought out. It has a number of intelligent features for saving power, should one accidentally leave the chrono running for example, that suspend certain hand movements yet it keeps perfect time in the background constantly.

Absolutely a top recommendation!
