Citizen's Series 8 collection expands with the addition of the GMT model, reinforcing the brand's dedication to "sharpness" in design. The watch features carefully crafted, mirror-finished surfaces that shine brilliantly along the edges. This attention to detail creates a captivating play of light, reflecting from the bracelet to the case and back. The new GMT model continues Citizen’s evolving commitment to aesthetics, blending form and function. By refining these details, Citizen elevates the overall look of the collection while staying true to its modern, sophisticated design philosophy.

One of the design details characteristic of the Series 8 is the two-piece bezel construction, which also serves as a design accent for the 870 Mechanical. The collection showcases Citizen's intricate craftsmanship of cutting and machining. Citizen went through a long process of trial and error to figure out what look would best align with the overall aesthetic of Series 8. In the end, they opted for an unusual, slightly coarse hairline finish as a counterpoint to the overall sharpness of the design. There is also a reason why they chose not to use titanium, despite their track record with the metal.
