Citizen has released three new men’s sports watches in the UK under its AW191 series. The new models are available now on the company’s UK website and stick to a basic, functional formula: standard analog designs powered by Citizen’s long-running Eco-Drive solar technology.
Design Details
The release includes three specific models: the AW1914-55L, the AW1911-53E, and the AW1911-53A. All three share the same underlying hardware and a 43mm stainless steel case, which is a fairly standard size for modern sports watches.
The AW1914-55L is the most expensive of the group at £299. It comes with a two-tone stainless steel case and bracelet, along with a navy blue dial and a matching blue bezel. The other two models are priced slightly lower at £279 and offer a more standard silver-tone steel finish. The AW1911-53E features a black dial and black bezel, while the AW1911-53A pairs a white dial with a black bezel. All three watches use a standard stainless steel bracelet secured by a fold-over clasp with push buttons.
The watch features Citizen’s Eco-Drive movement, which eliminates the need for regular battery replacements or manual winding. It converts natural sunlight and indoor light into power, allowing the watch to run continuously without a battery swap as long as it receives regular light exposure.
Otherwise, the specs are exactly what you would expect for a watch at this price point. The dial is covered by mineral crystal. It provides decent impact resistance, though it is more prone to scratching than the sapphire crystal you usually find on more expensive watches. The dial itself is straightforward, featuring a basic three-hand layout for the time and a small date window.
For water resistance, the watches are rated at 100 meters (10 Bar). This means they are fine for surface swimming, showering, and snorkeling, but they are not built for scuba diving.
In related news, Citizen has recently launched compact Eco-Drive watches with elegant designs, while the brand also introduced a limited-edition Promaster Skyhawk with serious flight-ready features.
