Casual Wear: Close-Up with the Citizen “Tsuyosa” Collection
The Citizen “Tsuyosa” collection has gained significant attention since its introduction, particularly in the U.S. market, where its stylish design and affordability have resonated with watch enthusiasts. Featuring an integrated bracelet and a variety of dial colors, including popular options like yellow and blue, the collection showcases a 40-mm case with a unique design reminiscent of the '70s. The movement, the Caliber 8210, is a reliable entry-level mechanical movement from Miyota, known for its widespread use and solid performance, providing a power reserve of at least 40 hours. Citizen aims to cater to both seasoned collectors and newcomers alike by offering high-quality watches at accessible prices, exemplified by the NJ015 series, priced at $450. The watch combines functionality with aesthetic appeal, featuring a water resistance of 50 meters, a date magnifying lens, and a robust metal bracelet. While some features, like the crown's operation, could be improved, the overall value and design make the Tsuyosa a compelling choice for anyone looking to enter the world of mechanical watches without breaking the bank.
