Citizen has added two new models to its Dress Classic watch lineup in the US: the BJ6572-54X and the BJ6574-59E. These two releases follow the BJ6570-50E, which the company put out last month.
Design Details
Instead of the bulky, oversized designs often seen on modern smartwatches or sports watches, Citizen is sticking to a smaller, rectangular form factor for these releases.
Both of the new watches share the exact same hardware and dimensions. The cases measure 36mm tall by 26.5mm wide, resulting in a slim profile that sits relatively flat against the wrist. They both use a standard three-hand layout with applied Roman numerals on the dial, and they attach to the wrist using a 7-link stainless steel bracelet secured by a push-button fold-over clasp.
The differences between the two models are strictly visual. The BJ6572-54X features a yellow gold-tone finish across the case and bracelet, paired with a dark red sunray dial. Meanwhile, the BJ6574-59E has a two-tone stainless steel finish and a black sunray dial. Neither watch includes a date window or any extra complications, keeping the dial layout minimal.
Inside, both watches are powered by Citizen’s Eco-Drive technology. Eco-Drive is essentially a solar-powered quartz movement. There is a light-catching panel hidden under the dial that absorbs both natural sunlight and indoor artificial light, converting it into energy to charge an internal cell.
For durability, Citizen uses sapphire crystal, which is more scratch-resistant than the mineral glass typically found on entry-level dress watches. They also have a water resistance rating of 50 meters (5 Bar). While a metal dress watch isn’t designed for diving, the 50-meter rating means the internal movement is protected enough to handle rain, hand-washing, or light surface swimming without taking water damage.
Pricing and Availability
Both the BJ6572-54X and BJ6574-59E are currently listed with a retail price of £249.00 on the Citizen UK website.
