Introducing Citizen Launches the NJ0210 & NJ022

Citizen introduces two new releases for 2026, expanding its accessible mechanical offering with the NJ0210 and NJ022. While both watches share the same in-house automatic movement, each follows a distinct stylistic direction. The NJ0210 leans toward classic, everyday versatility, while the NJ022 adopts a sportier, dive-inspired profile.

Citizen NJ0210

The NJ0210 is positioned as a refined daily automatic watch, designed to transition easily between formal and casual settings. Its stainless steel case measures 40 mm in diameter with a thickness of 13.02 mm, offering balanced proportions that sit comfortably on a wide range of wrists. The watch features a transparent caseback and provides water resistance rated at 50 meters. A mineral crystal protects the front and back sides.

The dial is offered in white, black, or blue. Each version features Arabic numerals, polished hands, and a clean, straightforward layout focused on legibility, with a date window positioned at 3 o’clock.

Powering the watch is Citizen’s in-house automatic calibre 8210. The movement operates at a frequency of 21,600 vph (3 Hz) and delivers a power reserve of 40 hours. Depending on the reference, the NJ0210 is paired with either a leather strap secured by a pin buckle or a stainless steel bracelet fitted with a folding safety clasp. The watch joins the permanent collection, with pricing set at €229 (approximately AED 990) on a leather strap and €279 (approximately AED 1,200) on a stainless steel bracelet.
