Citizen NH8353-00H – Men – Hardlex Crystal – Automatic – 40mm Dial, 5ATM Water Resistance, 40-Hour Power Reserve

1. Elegant PVD Gold Plating Technology Citizen watches with PVD gold plating have a strong appeal, especially for men who strive for a sophisticated look. The shimmering gold on the wrist not only exudes the aura of a successful person but also represents a higher social class.

The Citizen NH8353-00H features PVD gold plating technology for an eye-catching and durable finish. The watch’s elegance is enhanced by the crocodile-patterned faux leather strap, offering a high-end appearance.

A small note for those with PVD gold-plated watches: avoid direct contact with chemicals and perfumes. While Citizen’s gold plating is highly durable, it may still experience wear over time.

2. Reliable and Durable Caliber 8200 Automatic Movement Citizen’s dedication to in-house production and using proprietary materials has garnered admiration. They maintain control over producing high-quality mechanical watches for their customers.

The Citizen Automatic NH8353-00H is equipped with the Miyota 8200 (in-house) automatic movement, which has a 45-hour power reserve.

Details of the Miyota 8200 Movement:

• Manufacturer: Miyota
• Power Reserve: 45 hours
• Jewels: 21
• Oscillation Frequency: 21,600 vph
• Accuracy: -20 to +40 seconds/day
• Hacking Second: Yes (stops the second hand when the crown is pulled out)

The Citizen caliber 8200 is a prominent movement made by Citizen’s subsidiary Miyota. Although it has been in production for a long time, it is well-regarded for its stable and long-lasting performance.

3. Sophisticated Brown Crocodile-Patterned Faux Leather Strap A PVD gold-plated watch paired with a brown crocodile-patterned leather strap is a timeless classic. Citizen’s automatic watches with leather straps are accessories that almost every man can wear, providing a comfortable and light feel.

The genuine leather is embossed with a crocodile pattern, enhancing the watch’s elegance, and the traditional pin buckle ensures a masculine touch. However, leather straps should avoid water contact to ensure longevity.

4. Masculine Black Guilloché Pattern Dial For a price of around 6 million VND, it’s remarkable to own a watch with a beautifully finished dial. The repetitive and precise pattern called Guilloché adds a touch of refinement.

While it may not match the craftsmanship of high-end brands, it offers good value for money. The Citizen Automatic NH8353-00H features a black dial with elongated Roman numerals and straight markers. The Leaf-shaped hands are coated with luminescent material for visibility in the dark.

5. Day-Date Function and 5ATM Water Resistance The Citizen Automatic NH8353-00H provides a convenient day-date function at 3 o’clock. It displays 31 days of the month and 7 days of the week. Manual adjustment is required for months with fewer than 31 days (e.g., February, April, June, September, and November). The crown has two positions: one for adjusting the day of the week and the other for the current time.

With 5ATM water resistance, the Citizen Automatic NH8353-00H can withstand rain, showers, and hand washing. However, due to its leather strap, it’s advisable to minimize water exposure to preserve the strap’s quality.
