It's the A060 in this one (ยฑ5s).

I hope to buy one with the 0100 in the future. Hopefully from a The Citizen AD when they figure out international distribution and service for these watches.

You have bought a cracking watch. The info on these watches is all over the place, if Citizen market these aggressively i think they will do great with these. I wonder if the 0100s are hard to make as they are very limited . Being a completely sealed unit I would imagine serving will be out at 15 years or so which might be the limit of the eco batter. +/-5 SPY is great. I was eyeing up the Longines VHT, they are on par with the GS with 10SPY at about ยฃ800 if you shop around. I have a Seiko with a 8j in it which proceeded the 9F and that is 10SPY so if I go for another HAQ I would love a watch with 0100 In it. Problem is the designs. If they stuck the 0100 in your watch I would buy it tomorrow but I have a hunch it was a design exercise to claim the title.

Damn son.ย

Thank you.

With regards to info/servicing, Citizen should do more considering they are selling these in some locations outside of Japan already.

I think you are correct in saying Citizen could sell more of these if they market them aggressively. Personally I would like to see them go a bit crazy with the designs, and make something anyone would see as unique to Citizen.

Before buying this, I considered many GS models, but the lack of perpetual calendar and the need for battery change dissuaded me.

I will take my chances with a (Citizen) service in 15 years or whenever it's needed.

Thank you.

I bought this second hand on Chrono24, from Japan, for around 160 000 ยฅ including shipping. VAT was a &!รท$# though, at 25%.

My first Citizen too, but mine is the AQ4060. Give it a light grey strap, they look stunning in that too ๐Ÿ™‚
