Citizen Series 8 880 GMT Gold-TonevsDan Henry 1970

The gold-tone Citizen Series 8 880 GMT features a "Root Beer"-like color scheme with a gradient white-to-black dial and gold accents, inspired by the Tokyo skyline. Reviewers note its chunky, angular case silhouette with short lugs and a bracelet with two shades of ion-plated gold. The bidirectional bezel has a serrated edge and clicks hourly, featuring a blue and black 24-hour scale. It offers GMT functionality with an independently jumping local hour hand and 100 meters of water resistance, powered by the Citizen 9054 automatic GMT movement. Lume is described as good but not as intense as a dive watch. At its price point, the pin-and-collar bracelet system lacking micro-adjustments is flagged as a drawback. Overall, reviewers highlight the unique color scheme and GMT functionality as key features of the Citizen Series 8 880 GMT Gold-Tone.

Owners widely praise the Dan Henry 1970 for its striking looks, particularly the art deco hands and fantastic crystal. The 44mm size is noted as a drawback for wrists under 7 inches, and one owner reported strap change marks inside the lugs and a small mark on the clasp. The watch features a 41-hour power reserve and 200-meter water resistance. Overall, owners rate the Dan Henry 1970 highly for its distinctive vintage-inspired design and value at $295.
