Since its foundation in 1930, CITIZEN has promoted a multi-cultural mindset that fosters excellence and creativity. The very name of the brand conveys a deep respect toward craftsmanship and considered as familiar by citizens the world-over. So as a “citizen” of the world, we bear the responsibility to help cultivate a culture of positive change and on-going evolution through our craft. We take that mission seriously and steadfastly welcome what the future may bring. As a true manufacture d’horlogerie, CITIZEN integrates a comprehensive manufacturing process from creating individual components to a watch’s final assembly. It’s an artisan’s approach to watch making based on pushing forward the boundaries of technology and leveraging our experience toward exploring new possibilities. One pivotal technological breakthrough was the development of a light-driven watch. CITIZEN pioneered this engineering innovation well ahead of other watch manufacturers as early as 1976, which led to the launch of the highly acclaimed Eco-Drive in 1995. Utilizing electrical power converted from virtually any light source, this extraordinary innovation changed forever the way watches could be powered. Eco-Drive eliminated the need to ever replace batteries, which made it especially beneficial to areas where such specialist batteries were not obtainable. This leveled the field for citizens of virtually every country to be able to experience unrestricted joy of wearing and using a CITIZEN watch. The product development policy, “The Fusion of Technology and Beauty,” remains a constant motivation for us to merge cutting-edge technology with perfection of design beauty, which as a consequence inspires people to strive to be their best at any time. CITIZEN launches a new campaign in collaboration with Wieden+Kennedy, Better Starts Now. This is the simple belief that no matter who you are or what you do, it is always possible to make something better — and now is the time to start doing it. We believe that better and now are both infinite, and that there is always a next ‘better’ and a new ‘now’ in which you can start pursuing it. It was clear from the onset of this project that we are dedicated to this ideal…not to the past but to the present, and all the way we can improve it. To help communicate this belief to the world we have created a new global CITIZEN brand movie, brand identity and brand website that represents out Better Starts Now philosophy. An illustrious design with exquisite detail are just some of the highlights of this Signature Automatic Calibre 9151. The newest addition to the Citizen Signature Collection featuring an exclusively designed and decorated rotor with 26 jewels viewed through an exhibition case back. Case design has a coin edge finishing along the bezel. This timepiece in two-tone rose gold-tone stainless steel with charcoal gray dial and rose gold-tone accents features a 40-hour power reserve, analogue month-day-date, 12/24-hour time, power reserve indicator and dual-coated anti-reflective sapphire crystal.

Amazon has thewatch images reversed for the two models
Although I thought I'd ordered the NB5006-59H (the charcoal gray model), I received the NB5000-55A instead. Amazon has the watch images reversed for the two models. I anticipated this, however, and am COMPLETELY satisfied with the white faced version! My thoughts of returning have long since vanished after wearing it for a couple days. It really pops and shines and is just jaw-dropping gorgeous. The self-winding 'Automatic' feature is very cool - and fast! It can recover a full charge in just hours while wearing it from half way down. And the exposed back? AWESOME. This is a refined, graceful statement of engineering excellence and expertise. This watch has suddenly moved in to my top three (or two) of the several that I own - all Citizens. BEWARE when buying though - go by the image rather than the description! I've notified Amazon, they've acknowledged my complaint, but nothing has changed yet.
