## Description

Avion is a vintage-inspired timepiece reminiscent of transatlantic flights from the 1950's. Design cues taken from the golden age of travel include the rich brown leather strap with contrast stitching, luminous markers and classic day/date function. In a stainless steel case with charcoal grey dial. Featuring our Eco-Drive technology – powered by light, any light. Never needs a battery. Caliber number J810. Since its foundation in 1930, CITIZEN has promoted a multi-cultural mindset that fosters excellence and creativity. The very name of the brand conveys a deep respect toward craftsmanship and considered as familiar by citizens the world-over. So as a “citizen” of the world, we bear the responsibility to help cultivate a culture of positive change and on-going evolution through our craft. We take that mission seriously and steadfastly welcome what the future may bring. As a true manufacture d’horlogerie, CITIZEN integrates a comprehensive manufacturing process from creating individual components to a watch’s final assembly. It’s an artisan’s approach to watch making based on pushing forward the boundaries of technology and leveraging our experience toward exploring new possibilities. One pivotal technological breakthrough was the development of a light-driven watch. CITIZEN pioneered this engineering innovation well ahead of other watch manufacturers as early as 1976, which led to the launch of the highly acclaimed Eco-Drive in 1995. Utilizing electrical power converted from virtually any light source, this extraordinary innovation changed forever the way watches could be powered. Eco-Drive eliminated the need to ever replace batteries, which made it especially beneficial to areas where such specialist batteries were not obtainable. This leveled the field for citizens of virtually every country to be able to experience unrestricted joy of wearing and using a CITIZEN watch. The product development policy, “The Fusion of Technology and Beauty,” remains a constant motivation for us to merge cutting-edge technology with perfection of design beauty, which as a consequence inspires people to strive to be their best at any time. CITIZEN launches a new campaign in collaboration with Wieden+Kennedy, Better Starts Now. This is the simple belief that no matter who you are or what you do, it is always possible to make something better — and now is the time to start doing it. We believe that better and now are both infinite, and that there is always a next ‘better’ and a new ‘now’ in which you can start pursuing it. It was clear from the onset of this project that we are dedicated to this ideal…not to the past but to the present, and all the way we can improve it. To help communicate this belief to the world we have created a new global CITIZEN brand movie, brand identity and brand website that represents out Better Starts Now philosophy.

Review: Fantastic watch, marginal band. - I've owned this watch for 7 years and it's one of my favorite watches to wear. As you can see I liked it so much I bought a black version too. It's very accurate, and it's big but doesn't feel that big on the wrist. It's not as heavy as it looks and sits flat. One of the things I like is the way the date is displayed. Showing 3 dates at a time really helps the acuity. Even though I have 20/20 vision sometimes on other watches, especially with a date window surround by a raised lip meant to match the raised indices, it can be difficult to distinguish 16 from 18 if there if a shadow. I can read the date at a quick glance. The capacitor hasn't degraded noticeably but I have another Citizen watch with the same movement that is 15 years old and will probably need a new capacitor in a couple-three years. Now for the one thing I don't like about this watch, the strap. The worse part are the strap loops, they're made from very stretchy leather and will become virtually useless in a short amount of time. On the black watch (which also has an identical strap) I went as far as replacing the loops with veg-tanned leather myself. I like the thickness just fine, but also the color in real life looks more like a baby poop tan, and not as nice as in the pictures. Also the surface treatment of the leather is "plasticky"... It just doesn't age well. Over the years I've switched the strap around a couple of times and even put the watch on a bund strap...it looks perfect on a bund strap by the way. I hope Citizen has updated the strap and the leather if they're going to be bragging about it. All in all a great watch if you don't mind switching the strap. Edit; boy swapping orange and red sailcloth sport bands on these really being out the color in the faces! So I guess it depends on the vibe you want.
Review: Excellent, affordable Pilot’s Watch - Every good watch collection should have a pilot’s watch, and if you are looking for a low-maintenance Flieger style timepiece that looks great and functions flawlessly, check out this model from Citizen. This is a large watch, don’t get me wrong, but as an pilot’s watch, it’s supposed to be. (When you’re flying an aircraft, a big dial with easy to read numerals is a must!) This is actually a bonus if like me, you have larger wrists, but for you that have normal size wrists, fear not, this watch will look great on you, too! The hour hand is thick, outlined with an attractive orange, which is also used on the 1-12 hour numerals outside the inner dial. The minute hand is more narrow, but still substantial, lined in black. Both hands have a considerable amount of lume, giving them a distinct white appearance which makes for easy accusation in daylight, and lights up like a flashlight in the dark. While I wish Citizen also applied lume to the numerals, the hands are large enough to tell time without the hour markers at night. I like what Citizen did by printing the 13-24 hour numerals on the inside of the inner dial. It fits with the pilot’s watch, and it makes for an interesting dial. The date wheel is awesome. It fixes a problem that plagues other Citizen watches where the date window is far too small. On this watch, the date window is narrow but long, showing three dates at once. With the middle date being the correct date. It is clearly marked, and easy to read. I love how the date works on this watch! This watch is extremely accurate. I own several watches with Citizen’s Eco-Drive movement, and there are several reasons that I keep coming back for more. This watch is as accurate as any quartz watch I have ever owned. I reset my watches when Daylight Savings Time comes and goes, and this watch is never off more than a few seconds from when I set it six months before. Unlike most other quartz watches, the Eco-Drive movement is solar powered, and does an amazing job. With this watch, you don’t have to worry about changing batteries every year or two. Wearing this watch outside for one day a week is enough to keep it “charged” up and ready to go. If you store the watch on top of a dresser where it gets some sunlight, you won’t ever have to worry about the power reserve. If you are like me and wear watches on rotation, this Eco-Drive powered watch will work for you. On a full charge, you can store the watch in a dark drawer for more than 6 months without it missing a beat. Simply wear it in the sun for a few days or leave it under a lamp to charge back up. The brown leather strap is of good quality, and I have kept it on the watch. It is soft, yet strong enough to keep a good hold onto this pilot’s watch. In summary, this is an amazing pilot’s style watch at a very affordable price. Citizen’s EcoDrive Quartz movement will keep going for years without any maintenance, all you have to do is make sure it sees some sunshine. Whether your adventures take you into the cockpit of an airplane, coach class, or just watching Topgun on TV, this Citizen will be by your side, just ticking away.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful Piece
*by D***N on August 12, 2026*

I love this watch. It is slightly one of those that only looks almost as good as the photos, but only slightly. It is still a very nice-looking pilot watch. The one thing about it that I really do not care for is the color of the second hand. Just a tiny bit of the tip is red. The rest is the color of the face. Someone was trying to be too clever, to make the tip of the second hand look like it is just floating free, around the outside of the dial. However, it actually makes the second hand quite difficult to find in any but ideal lighting. Other than that… 👍🏻
