Citizen Mechanical & Automatic Watches

An automatic watch which has mechanical moving parts and winds it’s mainspring automatically using an internal rotor system

An automatic watch is a mechanical timepiece that does not require manual winding. The automated movement is fuelled by the natural energy created by the wearer's motions.

Both quartz and automatic watches are dependable and can tell time with reasonable accuracy. However, Quartz watches are considered to be more accurate. Mechanical watches are valued for their craftsmanship, artistry, and beauty. CITIZEN Mechanical movement has a high degree of precision as well as visual appeal. The design emphasizes the movement's layered wheels and highlights each of the watch's components. Every part is made to perfection, adding to the movement's overall appeal. Mechanical watches are meticulously crafted not just to appeal to the curious enthusiast who has just encountered his or her new love for watches but also the connoisseurs who value the fine art of mechanical watchmaking.

So, it’s unfair to say between quartz and mechanical which movement is better, it depends on the buyer if he/she is buying a watch just for its accuracy or for the craftsmanship and artistry of the mechanical movement.

A quartz watch can measure exact time to a half a second every day, whereas an automatic watch may be off by a few seconds per day. Because automatic watches have more moving parts, there is a high probability that the time maybe more inaccurate. But in the long run the reliability of an automatic watch entirely depends on how well it is maintained.
