The Citizen xC series is a prestigious line designed by the brand for modern urban women, offering both the elegance of a jewel and the durability suitable for everyday use. The model we are reviewing has a cool yet attractive aesthetic with its rectangular (tank) case and ice blue dial. Powered by Citizen's proprietary Duratect technology, the watch retains its pristine brilliance even after many years.
Case Design and Wrist Comfort
The most characteristic feature of the watch is its integrated bangle bracelet design. Integrated with the case, this structure, thanks to its hollow design in the center, feels very light and elegant on the wrist. The Duratect-coated stainless steel case is much more resistant to scratches than standard steel. Its slim design promises comfortable wear, especially under elegant evening wear or shirt cuffs.
Dial Details and Condition
The sunburst patterned ice blue dial takes on different tones depending on the angle of light, gaining depth. The markers at 12 and 6 o'clock, along with the xC logo in the center, are among the details that complete the symmetry of the dial. Thanks to the sapphire crystal glass, the dial clarity is excellent and it is scratch-free. The simplicity of the indices combines minimalism with luxury.
