The Citizen Tsuyosa Automatic, reference NJ0150-81X, presents several advantages, the most primary is its value proposition, offering an automatic movement, integrated bracelet design, and sapphire crystal at a significantly lower price point than its Swiss rivals. Sources note that one could purchase two Tsuyosa models for the price of one automatic PRX. The watch is powered by the Citizen Caliber 8210, an automatic movement regarded as a reliable and robust "workhorse."
Founded in 1918 as the Shokosha Watch Research Institute, its core identity was solidified in 1976 with the invention of the world's first light-powered analog quartz watch. This technology evolved into Eco-Drive, a proprietary system that converts any light source into energy, effectively eliminating the need for battery replacements and becoming the brand's technological cornerstone.
Citizen is a true manufacture that produces its own components, including the robust and ubiquitous Miyota mechanical movements used by countless third-party brands. This industrial self-sufficiency allows Citizen to dominate the market for accessible, technologically advanced, and highly reliable timepieces.
