If you’re looking to add a new watch to your rotation, but you want something besides another dive watch or chronograph, a calendar watch is an excellent choice. Calendar watches tell time while also tracking days, dates, and even moon phases, making them a bit more of a unique, offbeat watch to wear. Right now, Macy’s has an excellent Citizen calendar watch on sale with a huge discount.
The Citizen Men’s Classic Calendrier Brown Leather Strap Watch is on sale for $354 at Macy’s, 49% off its normal $695 price tag. It comes in a single colorway — gold-tone stainless steel case, cream dial, and brown leather strap — that’s a classic for a reason: it looks great on everyone.
This watch has a 41.8-mm dial with a beveled gold-tone bezel. It holds a cream dial with a quartet of subdials. The day and month are tracked via rotating wheels that you can see about half of at the 9 and 3 o’clock positions. At 12 o’clock, there’s a date dial, and at 6 o’clock there’s something even cooler: a window that shows the phase of the moon. It’s all controlled, impressively, by a single crown button and mounted to a brown leather strap with visible white contrast stitching down both sides. It’s powered by Citizen’s Eco-Drive movement, a proprietary feature that converts any natural or artificial light source into electrical energy. It’s water-resistant to 100 meters and comes with a 5-year limited warning, so you can be confident in its longevity.
