Review : Citizen CTR57-1101

This is for quartz lover. :lol: and my first try on a watch review.

It took abit of time for me to digest the idea of getting a quartz watch. But the idea of buying what you like keep hitting me. My journey on collecting citizen seems to be complete with this, with the eco-drive chrono diver, titanium automatic diver, automatic dress watch. I decided to take the plunge and here is my first quartz watch the Citizen Campanola CTR57-1101.



These new Campanolas from Citizen are part of the Grand Complication collection. The feature a hand lacquered dial, using ancient Japanese techniques. You can be sure that every watch that you own is unique in its own way.



The spec

* Movement Calibre 6772

* Precision : ± 20 seconds/month

* Weight : 163g

* Thickness : 16.2mm

* Case : Stainless steel

* Glass : Dual spherical sapphire glass (Nonreflective coating)

* Finishing : White IP plating

* Band : Stainless Steel

* 1/4 second chronograph (12 Hours)

What attracts me to the this model is

- Blue, my fav color, well if the model is black i would have got it anyway

- The size is not too big compare to other campanola

- The build / finish is solid and smooth, dunno how to describe it but just "gentle on the skin"

- The dome, man i love dome glass :P

You might see it once or a few times before realizing the appeal that it has to you.". Yes i have seen the campanola in Klcc before but it just did not appeal to me back then, it was huge and busy/complicated. But as my collection grow i am looking for something different from what i already have. The feeling like driving a sedan for 5 years and suddenly u want to feel the feeling of driving a MPV or a 4x4. So thus the diversity in my collection.







the pic i take from iphone sux, so here some pic from the net on nice dial
