Citizen BI5058-52L Quartz Men’s Watch

Created for the style conscious gentlemen out there the Citizen Bi5058-52L Men’s watch is a classic model from the world-renowned Citizen brand. My tryst with Citizen watches began when my father handed me his beautiful silver-dialled watch that he wore to work every day. Being a pioneer in the watch industry, the Citizen brand is known to use precision engineering to create good quality and reliable timepieces at an affordable price.

The Citizen BI5058-52L is a simple but elegant watch that wears well with formal or casual outfits. At 42mm case diameter, it is a medium sized fit, ideal for the small -wristed gents. I had picked out this piece for my son who is at college and needed a basic watch without the bells and whistles. He required a rough and tough timepiece which was the reason for my choice of the BI5058-52L.

The Citizen BI5058-52L comes in a stainless-steel case and bracelet making it a great every day watch that can take the rough and tumble of an average day. The classic blue dial with luminous hands and markers contained in a round case gives a hint of the vintage vibe. A clear an uncluttered dial ensures quick reading of the time at a glance.

Although 80% of the Citizen’s products offer the famous Eco-Drive movement, the Citizen BI5058-52L features a quartz movement and a scratch -proof mineral crystal. A small date window at 3 o’clock position is the only other feature this simple watch offers, but I think it would do nicely for my son. A solid, stainless steel case back adds to the sturdiness of the watch. Wearing it around water shouldn’t pose a problem since it has 100M water resistance.

The affordability of the Citizen brand is perhaps why their watches are so popular. Add to that the fact that the timepieces last for years with minimal maintenance. Given the brand’s reputation for durable watches, I’m hoping the Citizen BI5058-52L Quartz Men’s watch lasts for at least a few years. I purchased the piece from Creation Watches, Singapore, the online watch store at a substantial discount on the listed price. For SG$127, I think it is a good buy. You’ll find a wide array of ladies and gents watches at https://www.creationwatches.sg to suit your budget and preference.

Citizen makes some of the most durable timepieces using innovative technology and precision. Citizens are timepieces of the people that speak volumes in terms of watchmaking craftsmanship. They are sleek, stylish and several models offer a variety of complications to suit individual tastes and preferences. The Citizen brand can hold its own when it comes to the stiff competition it faces in the watch industry. Indeed, a Citizen timepiece is a must have in your wardrobe.
