Really growing attached to many of the older Japanese domestic Citizen watches. Hard to beat value. This model has the E760 movement.
Perpetual calendar automatically adjusts days for shorter months and leap year.
Case and bracelet are hardened titanium, about 5 times harder than stainless steel. Very light and comfortable.
Sapphire crystal.
Bracelet can be micro-adjusted on the fly to one of three positions.
Hour hand is motorized and can be adjusted independently for time changes without stopping the watch. Just push recessed button then turn the crown to adjust forward or backward in one hour increments.
Solar powered. Has two power down levels. Level 1 stops second hand. Level 2 stops all hands and date. Can stay in the dark over 2 years on a full charge; when light hits it, it will adjust all hands and date to the correct time.
Less than $100 on Yahoo Auctions in Japan. Many of the Attessa line with similar features can be picked up for under $50. Due to the excellent materials, the watches often look great, ie. no scratches on the crystal and light scratches to the case and bracelet, even though they might be over 10 years old.
