A Father’s Day Watch Guide From Citizen

SHARP & Citizen Watch Group

Gifting for one’s father is not without its challenges, but watches — or objects with a connection to time — are a fine choice. A reflection of the time spent, the time cherished, the time together that made you who you are, and the gift of time a father gives to rearing their child; what better way to give thanks than with the gift of time? This year we’ve taken a look through the catalogues of the Citizen Group, selecting watches we think would make the perfect father’s day gift.

Bulova Surveyor

Learn More

With this latest edition of the Bulova Surveyor, the brand maintains its angular case design, and adds a touch of engineering excitement with an openworked dial. Its 41mm case is fitted with a domed mineral crystal, and its hands have luminous material applied to increase low-light legibility. ($750).

Bulova CURV

Learn More

The Bulova CURV garnered plenty of attention upon launch, as Bulova had discovered a way to build its watch movement with a curved form; this is no easy task when dealing with gears and wheels. In its latest form, with a vibrant green dial and chronograph complication, it’s the kind of watch that is likely to surprise. ($1,395)

Citizen Tsuyoza

Learn More

Citizen’s latest Tsuyosa references bring the beloved integrated bracelet into a sharp, clean-cut package that delivers fantastic value. It has a slight vintage charm, without feeling like an homage to another industry icon. ($595)

Citizen Attesa

Learn More

The Citizen Attesa is a rough and rugged watch with a very sleek dial. Part of the Citizen UNITE with BLUE series inspired by the beautiful oceans that unite the world, it combines the colours of the seven seas on one 100% recycled polycarbonate dial. That said, it’s more than just a pretty face, boasting a host of complications including a world time indication, chronograph, and perpetual calendar, among others. ($2,695)

Citizen Brycen

Learn More

Simplifying things a notch or two, the Brycen chronograph has more vintage cues in its arsenal, combined with (once again) an integrated bracelet. Its case and bracelet are made of titanium, making it a rather lightweight option as well. ($595)

Accutron Astronaut

Learn More

An especially rare bird — Accutron relaunched the Astronaut in a limited edition run of only 300 pieces worldwide. It’s based off a reference that first launched in 1968, and is fitted with a Swiss SW330 GMT movement with a 56-hr power reserve in a 41mm stainless steel case. ($4,500)

Frederique Constant Highlife Worldtimer Manufacture

Learn More

For a number of years, the Frederique Constant Highlife Worldtimer Manufacture has been known in the industry as the best value worldtimer watch on the market. it offers huge bang for buck (as do most things from the brand), as you can’t really get into this competition from another Swiss manufacturer anywhere near this price. The fact that they make all of their own movements, or that the Worldtimer comes with a stainless steel bracelet, as well as both leather and rubber straps? Well, that’s all just bonus material. ($5,995)

Alpina Alpiner Extreme Automatic

Learn More

The Alpina Alpiner Extreme Automatic is a wonderful example of how to do a “day to night” tool watch that can dress up. It’s tough as nails, it has 200m of water resistance, its rubber strap is extremely comfortable, and it’s capable of handling everything from a weekend in the woods to a weekend with the in-laws. ($2,395)
