The Citizen Series 8 collection has always been synonymous with precision, elegance, and modern functionality. Now, the brand has taken that legacy to the next level with the debut of the Citizen Series 8 880 GMT NB6034-58L—a mechanical marvel built for the discerning traveler and everyday wearer alike. Combining a Tokyo-inspired aesthetic with robust engineering, this timepiece is a statement of both style and substance.
These days, Citizen is making waves with a lineup of exciting new releases, from fresh GMT offerings to unique reinterpretations of its most iconic models—like the Citizen Tsuyosa “Time Slip” NJ0200-50E, which blends retro flair with modern watchmaking. The new 880 GMT joins this trend, delivering a timepiece that is as stylish as it is technically accomplished.
Design and Aesthetic Excellence
From the very first glance, the Series 8 880 GMT NB6034-58L exudes refinement. The 41 mm silver-tone stainless steel case is crafted with a multi-piece construction, blending brushed and polished finishes to catch the light from every angle. Framing the dial is a navy blue- and white-tone bi-directional bezel, engraved with a 24-hour GMT scale for effortless time zone tracking.
The dial itself is a work of art—a navy blue textured with intricate patterns inspired by Tokyo’s skyline and traditional Japanese motifs of prosperity. Protected by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, it features applied luminous indices and hands that ensure exceptional legibility day or night.
Visible through a sapphire exhibition case back, the movement showcases the meticulous craftsmanship behind every Series 8 watch.
GMT Functionality for the Modern Traveler
Perfect for globetrotters, the 880 GMT NB6034-58L features an independently adjustable hour hand, allowing seamless switching between local and travel times. The orange-tipped GMT hand provides a quick, at-a-glance reading of a second time zone, while the bi-directional bezel adds an extra layer of functionality.
Designed for all-day wear, the integrated H-link stainless steel bracelet offers a secure and comfortable fit. Its tapered design mirrors the case’s refined geometry, ensuring a cohesive aesthetic.
The watch is also water-resistant to 100 meters (10 bar) and features a sapphire crystal with impact and shatter resistance—making it as durable as it is beautiful.
