Series 8 NB6012-18L Watch

The Watch

Japanese brand The Citizen has been championing the spirit of craftsmanship since 1918. Their mastery shines through a meticulous manufacturing process - from developing and producing individual components to final assembly. Here is the Series 8 model, reference NB6012-18L. It boasts an octagonal case in a dazzling rose gold tone, weighing 82 grams. Its brilliance and design lend this timepiece a genuinely sophisticated character. Measuring 40 mm in diameter and 10.1 mm in thickness, it's perfectly proportioned for men's wrists. A sapphire crystal covers the dial of this stainless steel case, protecting it against shocks and scratches while an anti-reflective treatment ensures optimal legibility. A rose gold fluted crown at 3 o'clock lets you set the hours, minutes, and date to your preference. Water resistance to 10 ATM is secured by the screw-down caseback.

The Dial

The blue sunray dial brings a sense of calm and stability that suits this watch beautifully. Time reading is made effortless by the 3 concentric railroad tracks along the dial's edge. At the center, three rose gold hands indicate the hours, minutes, and seconds respectively - two of which feature a luminescent coating. For added precision, 12 baton indexes are set into the dial, marked with rectangular luminescent inserts for easy reading in low-light conditions. A date window at 3 o'clock keeps you on schedule. The brand signs the dial at 12 o'clock, with the collection name at 6 o'clock.

The Movement

This Series 8 is powered by a Citizen 9051 automatic movement of Japanese manufacture. Anti-magnetic, it features 24 jewels and offers a power reserve of 42 hours. Reliable and precise, it drives the analog display with smooth, consistent performance.

The Strap

This beautiful strap is crafted from urethane and bovine leather. Its deep blue color makes it even more eye-catching and lets you wear the watch with any style. Black end pieces and contrast stitching add a refined detail. Secure and adjustable with a rose gold pin buckle. Lug width: 20 mm.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance to 10 atmospheres, or 100 meters. That's a genuinely water-resistant watch! Ready to dive into any aquatic adventure - from puddles to the pool - this timepiece handles a splash without complaint. Showers, baths, and lap swimming are all fair game. That said, our Ocarat watchmaking experts want you to know that this model, while water-resistant, is not suited for diving (professional or recreational) and should be kept away from high-pressure cleaning equipment. We also recommend not operating the crown or pushers while the watch is submerged.
