Description

The Citizen Mechanical NH8350-59A (popularly recognized among watch collectors and horological enthusiasts by its nicknames, the "Dress Automatic", "Mechanical Day & Date", or "Roman Automatic") is a refined, classic Swiss-inspired mechanical dress watch. Designed with timeless dress proportions, this 40mm timepiece combines a textured waffle-patterned white dial with traditional Roman numeral accents and a clean stainless steel construction. Built for gentlemen who appreciate traditional mechanical watchmaking at an accessible price point, it serves as a versatile timepiece that transitions seamlessly from formal business suit attire to smart-casual daily wear. The defining visual highlight of this NH8350 reference is its guilloché-textured white dial. The central dial face features an embossed diamond-checkered pattern that catches light dynamically, framed by applied silver-tone hour indices and polished Roman numeral markers. Slender silver-tone leaf hands glide smoothly across the display, while a dual day and date window positioned at 3 o'clock completes the balanced dial geometry. Beneath its executive exterior, the watch is driven by Citizen's proven in-house Caliber 8200 automatic mechanical movement. Operating at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz) with 21 jewels, this mechanical engine offers self-winding kinetic rotor action, manual hand-winding capability, and smooth sweeping central seconds. Driven naturally by the kinetic motion of the wearer's wrist, the Caliber 8200 provides a reliable power reserve of approximately 40 to 45 hours. The 40mm watch housing is crafted from marine-grade 316L stainless steel, featuring a slim profile of 11.1mm for comfortable under-cuff clearance. Protecting the dial display is an impact-resistant mineral crystal glass. Built for daily utility and rain resistance, the watch features a solid screwed-down caseback achieving a certified 50-meter (5 bar / 165 ft) water resistance rating, safeguarding the movement against accidental splashes and rain exposure. The timepiece comes completed on a solid multi-link 316L stainless steel bracelet, fitted with a fold-over deployment clasp and double push-button release.
