Citizen Signature Grand Classic Automatic Watch NB0046-51L

This is a Citizen Signature Grand Classic men's wristwatch, reference NB0046-51L. The timepiece features a multi-piece 42mm stainless steel case with a distinctive two-tone aesthetic, incorporating rose gold-tone accents on the bezel and the center links of the integrated bracelet. The dial is a deep cerulean blue with a complex sunburst guilloché pattern that creates depth and visual interest. It is complemented by rose gold-tone applied baton indices and matching luminescent hands. Notable features include a date aperture at the 3 o'clock position and the 'AUTOMATIC' designation above the 6 o'clock mark, indicating the use of the high-grade Miyota 9011 movement. The crystal is an anti-reflective sapphire, typical of the Signature line's elevated craftsmanship. In terms of condition, the watch shows signs of regular wear, including light surface scratches (scuffs) on the polished steel surfaces and rose-gold plating areas of the lugs and bracelet links. The bezel displays minor indentations along the outer edge. This piece represents Citizen's premium mid-2010s output, designed to compete with entry-level Swiss luxury brands through superior finishing and robust mechanical movements. The overall construction quality is high, evidenced by the solid link bracelet and the precision of the dial markings.
