One of Citizen’s bolder automatic offerings from the early 2000s, the Eagle Gold brings together tool-watch functionality with a fully gold aesthetic. The rotating bezel is marked in 10-minute increments, giving the watch a sporty frame, while the gold sunburst dial sits below a sapphire crystal — unusually premium for its category.
The day-date complication is framed in gold and displays both English and Arabic, with the signature Eagle crest stamped at 6 o’clock. Inside, you’ll find the workhorse Citizen 8200 automatic movement, known for its reliability across decades. A screw-down caseback confirms Japan manufacture, and the 50m water resistance makes it wearable even beyond casual settings.
This particular piece is paired with a thick tan stitched leather strap that highlights the case’s warm tone.
