I long to own a Credor Eichi II, one of the finest Japanese watches ever made.
Philippe Dufour wears a Rolex or a Lange, presumably the former for its reliability and robustness, and the latter for its beauty, attention to detail, and craftsmanship, while he himself is widely considered the greatest living watchmaker today, and his watches are unobtainium of the highest order in terms of price and availability. What determines whether a watch is the best ever made? Materials? Craftsmanship? Technical ingenuity? Design? Complications? Heritage? Something else? I would posit each of these is ultimately extraneous to whether a watch fulfills its primary purpose, and yet we live in a world that values all those attributes. However, to claim it is therefore one of the best watches to have ever been made is sadly an arguable statement of opinion, which is why I will proceed to spill words to belabor the point. Calling it the most accurate wristwatch ever made to not reference an external time signal is to make an objective statement of fact. Similarly, we commonly tell time with hands indicating the hour, minutes and seconds rotating round a graduated dial, to which the digital display is the modern, ubiquitous alternative.īut if a watch is defined by its purpose, and that purpose primarily is to keep the time, then there is simply no watch in the world now, and there never has been, better than the Citizen Caliber 0100. We can keep time in a few different ways, but quartz watchmaking, like the Citizen Caliber 0100, far surpasses everything else in terms of precision and accuracy. Hence with Tosa Washi, look forward to the longevity of this watch for generations to come.What is the purpose of a watch? Most fundamentally it is to keep the time, and to tell the time to state as much is an objective statement of fact (otherwise I don’t know what we’re all doing). Thin yet robust, Tosa Washi is a vital Japanese paper for preserving cultural artifacts and historical assets. Its dial is specially made up of handmade Tosa Washi (Japanese traditional paper) with a warm and gentle texture. Moreover, the AQ4091-56A has dimensions like the following: a 40mm lug width and diameter (without the crown), 12.5 mm thickness as well as a maximum wrist size of 204mm. It is this Super Titanium material that forms the case and bracelet of the AQ4091-56A. Thus, Citizen decided to name this new coating “Super Titanium”.
Duratect served as a major milestone for the brand, as Citizen could produce new timepieces with unrivaled durability.
The brand produced a kind of titanium surface coating called Duratect to bolster the strength of titanium, making it five times more resilient than stainless steel while still keeping its lightweight build. Although titanium is already a very robust metal in itself, Citizen was able to make the material even stronger.
