A black dial and stainless steel case and bracelet create sporty elegance in this Octavia Perpetual Calendar watch from the CitizenĀ® Signature Collection. A dual-coated anti-reflective sapphire crystal protects the second hand, date window and luminous hands. The men's watch with 42mm case is water resistant to 100 meters, features a screw-back case and secure push-button fold-over clasp. Named for its 8-sided bezel, Octavia features Citizen Eco-DriveĀ® technology which means that it is fueled by light, any light, so it never needs a battery.

My dream watch always had a certain list of features. Solar, sapphire crystal, perpetual calendar, with a simple, classic looking face. This watch has all of that. I have wanted this watch for a few years now but was only able to find a new one recently that was the older style with screws around the face instead of numbers. See attached photo. It feels very solid but not too heavy. Having said that, a titanium version of this watch would be even better.

I paid $460 for it at Princeton Watchers. No complaints -- worth it. Definitely a step up in fit and finish from a $200 model.

I bought this watch two years ago on a cruise ship. I have worn it everyday since and only take it off to sleep. I shower with it everyday. I taught swim lessons and swam with it often. Never had any leaks. Great crystal! As a everyday wear it gets beat up all the time. The Crystal looks brand new. Only problem i had was a band crew fell out and for $10 a jewelry shop fixed it and no problems since. But i do check every time i think about to see if the screws are coming out. They havnt come out since. Great watch and would recommend. Get compliments when im in social events all the time. Def would recommend to someone who doesn't have thousands to spend on a watch.

I just bought this watch this week . I am very happy with it . Not very fancy and that's what I like about it . Great quality without a lot of features that I dont need. Being waterproof is what I was looking for .

Recently I was just wondering around in a watch store, didn't want to by anything because I have many Citizen watches but when I looked at this particular timepiece and when I tried it on I couldn't resist and I bought it! I think this watch has everything what a perfect watch has to have: outstanding design, great quality of each component of the watch, perpetual calendar, advanced technology of changing a timezone by only pressing the button, sapphire crystal, eco-drive technology, comfortable bracelet and not expensive price. Thanks again to Citizen for providing such amazing product !

Not sure why numbers are on face of case? Thought it would rotate when I bought it online.

This is my fourth Citizen watch. Bought first one 18 years ago and is still is service. The quality craftsmanship and technical reliability is great. The Octavia Perpetual has satisfied my search for a great timepiece without all the unneeded bells and whistles on many other brand watches. Just wanted a good reliable watch to tell time at a fair price and not a piece of jewelery.
