Citizen 8200 Tiger Eye Automatic - Day Date [38mm]

The Citizen 8200 Tiger Eye is a standout example of 1970s-80s Japanese watchmaking, featuring a bold tiger eye sunburst dial that shimmers between smoky brown and bronze under changing light. Its 38mm stainless steel case gives it a modern presence while retaining vintage charm.

Powered by Citizen’s reliable Caliber 8200 automatic movement, the watch features both day and date complications at 3 o’clock. The applied block indices are faceted and lumed, matched with thick baton hands that enhance readability and add a muscular look to the dial.

This particular piece shows honest aging—patina on the dial and light surface wear on the case, making it a true vintage survivor. Fitted with a fresh black leather strap with contrast stitching, it's ready for daily wear or weekend rotations.

A versatile choice for anyone wanting Japanese mechanical reliability with standout styling.
