Citizen Series 8 880 GMT 100th Anniversary Limited Edition

The new Citizen Series 8 880 GMT 100th Anniversary NB6036-52N has been created to mark 100 years since the first Citizen-branded watch. Price €1,290

Citizen is launching the Series 8 880 GMT 100th Anniversary, a mechanical timepiece in the Series 8 Collection created to mark 100 years since the first Citizen-branded watch.

This limited edition features a two-part stainless steel case with alternating grey and blue surfaces, a design contrast mirrored in the integrated H-link bracelet that connects seamlessly with the case for a streamlined, lug-free appearance.

Measuring 41 mm x 13.5 mm and water resistant to 100 metres / 330 feet, the new Series 8 880 GMT 100th Anniversary is equipped with a bi-directional bezel featuring a two-tone, 24-hour graduated insert in black and blue.

The refined mother-of-pearl dial, protected by a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, showcases a striking blue gradient and includes applied indices and lume-filled hands for enhanced legibility in low-light conditions.

The GMT function allows the display of up to three time zones thanks to the arrow-tipped 24-hour hand and the rotating bezel. 

The hour hand can be adjusted independently from the minute, second, and GMT hands, moving forward or backward in one-hour increments to display local time.

A date aperture at 3 o'clock completes the indications.

Operating at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour), the Calibre 9054 movement is visible through the transparent case back. It offers a magnetic resistance up to 16,000 A/m, an average daily accuracy of -10 to +20 seconds, and a power reserve of approximately 50 hours.

The new Citizen Series 8 880 GMT 100th Anniversary, ref. NB6036-52N, is a limited edition of 2,200 pieces with a suggested retail price of €1,290. citizenwatch.com
