Citizen has unveiled the new Series 8 890 watch.

Like a hybrid of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and a dive watch, this has both styleandsubstance.

Now, a new release fromCitizensuggests they are looking to be a significant part of this conversation. The new Citizen Series 8 890 is an integrated bracelet sports watch which wears its heart on its sleeve and delivers, with a fantastic look and a spec sheet to boot.

Far from just being a pretty face, though, this is a watch with some serious spec sheet credentials. For starters, you’ll find 200m of water resistance on board. That’s despite not having a screw-down crown – a mighty impressive feat.

Inside, a calibre 9051 movement offers accuracy of -10/+20 seconds per day. That’s pretty run of the mill for a watch in this price range, and – coupled with 42 hours of power reserve – should make for a really useful wearing experience.

Priced at £1,595 for the steel and blue and £1,695 for the gold and brown, this is a watch with a whole lot of credentials for the price. Like a hybrid of adive watchand a stylish Royal Oak, this fuses form and function and the results are really compelling.
