Citizen Zenshin Senkei Super Titanium CA4691-59X

This is the watch

A sportily dressed chronograph from the Zenshin Senkei series, positioned perfectly between an office watch and a weekend watch. It is aimed at those who want a stopwatch on their wrist without the watch appearing as a pure sports watch. The textured green dial with applied indices and sub-dials at three and nine o'clock give character to an otherwise restrained model, and the small seconds hand is positioned at six o'clock.

Materials & fit

The case measures 41 mm in diameter and is built from Super Titanium with a Duratect surface treatment in a titanium-white tone. The crystal is sapphire glass, the hardest option in this context and significantly more scratch-resistant than mineral glass. The bracelet is made of the same Super Titanium in titanium-white and secures with a fold-over safety clasp. With a case height of 11 mm and a total weight of 97 grams, the watch slips under a shirt cuff without taking up space, despite the case diameter being on the larger end of the spectrum.

Highlights

• The Eco-Drive caliber B620 is charged by light and never needs a battery change.
• Power reserve of 270 days when fully charged, meaning almost nine months without light.
• Precision of ±15 seconds per month.
• Chronograph that measures up to 60 minutes in one-fifth-second increments.
• 10 ATM water resistance, which is sufficient for swimming.

Good to know

• The watch is charged by both daylight and indoor lighting, so it stays charged just by being worn as usual. If left stored away for a long time, it will stop and start again once it receives light.
• The dial has an indicator that shows when the charge is running low, so you have time to place the watch in light before it stops.
• The date window is positioned at 4:30 instead of the usual three o'clock position, a placement that keeps the dial's symmetry intact.
• It works with a suit, but the titanium-white tone and the three sub-dials pull it more towards everyday wear than formal occasions.
