Coming this fall: Citizen Series 8 GMT

Just saw this show up on Chrono24 this morning. Here's all I know:

  • Launching this fall

  • Powered by what Citizen describes as "cal. 9054" (presumably their own variant of the Miyota 9075"

  • "Batman" and gold models will also be available

  • Price here is an estimate in CAD

Miyota 9054 is same as the 9075, the difference is higher magnetic resistance with the 9054 keeping in line with Series 8 model lineup lineup 9000 series movements.

Its $1800 for the steel variants and $1900 for limited gold plated variants.

Its only announced for Japanese market for now, release for other markets are still unknown.

Blimey yet another GG inspired monstrosity. 🥱🥱

I'm surely not the only person fed up with this cookie cutter commercialism?!! 🙄

$1800 for a Miyota 9075 is highway robbery. Microbrands, and even Citizen's own Bulova are offering watches around the $500 with this movement. Increased magnetic resistance isn't worth $1300.

Well, why be cheaper than Seiko? The SPB381 for example costs close to that. 😉 I'd almost be worried if they didn't try to overcharge.
