Citizen Series Eight
The series 8 has debuted with a dynamic design and all-new automatic movement.
(Honestly, it has been for sale for domestically within Japan for several years since 2008.)
The accuracy of automatic watches are negatively affected by the magnetism generated by smartphones, tablets, and PCs.
"Citizen Series Eight" has improved its magnetic resistance performance by using a new type of material in the hairspring.
With a magnetic resistance performance of 16000A/m, it remains unaffected down to a distance of 1 cm when coming into contact with magnets.
Typical watches are only resistant up to 4800A/m.
