The Citizen World Chronograph A.T AT8260-85X represents a sophisticated blend of precision, functionality, and executive modern design.

Specification
The Citizen built this model around the concept of seamless global connectivity and self-sustaining technology.
The manufacturer inspired the layout with high-performance flight instruments and classic sporty luxury watches.
This watch caters directly to globe-trotters, business travelers, and individuals seeking dependable, exact time measurement. The design bridges technical utility with versatile desk-to-dinner style seamlessly.
A brushed and polished silver-tone stainless steel case forms the foundation of this watch. The case measures exactly 43mm in diameter, providing a confident and modern wrist presence.
This profile allows the watch to slide easily under tailored shirt cuffs. Robust crown guards frame the main crown, while double pushers operate chronograph controls.
Citizen equips this model with a high-grade scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. This flat sapphire glass ensures maximum optical transparency and long-term durability against accidental impacts.
A solid stainless steel caseback seals the internal mechanism securely. The overall construction guarantees a water resistance rating of 10 bar, equivalent to 100 meters.
You can safely wear this timepiece during daily handwashing, rain, and surface swimming.
A solid silver-tone stainless steel bracelet completes the watch seamlessly. The 3-link bracelet combines brushed outer links with subtly polished center elements.
This construction balances daily durability with refined visual elegance. A fold-over clasp with push-button release secures the watch reliably to the wrist.
The integrated bracelet design delivers exceptional ergonomic comfort throughout long days of wear.
Dial
The watch showcases a rich, deep green dial that shifts subtly under direct lighting. Subtle sunray texturing creates a captivating metallic sheen across the dial face.
Three sub-dials present secondary readings, creating a structured tri-compax instrument appearance.
A 24-hour sub-dial sits at 9 o’clock, while chronograph counters take positions at 12 and 6 o’clock. Applied silver-tone index markers offer sharp contrast against the green background.
Luminova paint fills both the main hands and hour indices to ensure easy low-light visibility. An outer dial ring displays abbreviated names for 26 world cities. A subtle date aperture sits neatly at the 3 o’clock position.
Movement and Features
The internal engine relies on the advanced in-house Citizen Caliber H800 movement. This movement utilizes Eco-Drive technology, converting any natural or artificial light into electrical energy.
A full charge drives the movement continuously for up to 6 months in total darkness. Overcharge prevention and insufficient charge warning systems protect the rechargeable solar cell.
The Caliber H800 features global radio-controlled atomic timekeeping across five signal bands. The internal module automatically captures radio signals daily from atomic stations in Japan, North America, Europe, and China.
This process guarantees microsecond accuracy and updates time zones automatically. The watch includes a perpetual calendar function that accounts for short months and leap years until 2100.
A 1/20th-second chronograph measures elapsed time up to sixty minutes accurately. A power reserve indicator informs the wearer of current energy levels at a glance.
Citizen World Chronograph A.T AT8260-85X is priced at £499.
