Featuring conflict-free, single-cut diamonds, the Calibre #BL8040-50E from Citizen's solar powered Eco-Drive Collection combines precision and reliability with classic, elegant style. White-tone Roman numerals on a sporty black chronograph dial look sleek, while a polished stainless steel link bracelet feels cool and comfortable on the wrist. There's also a perpetual calendar; month, day, and date display; and water resistance to 330 feet (100 meters). For added peace of mind, the Calibre comes with a five-year warranty.

This is a great watch. Granted you have to take about 30 minutes to read the instructions before you know how exactly to work it. But it's well worth it. The watch has some great features, like solar power so you don't ever have to worry about buying batteries again, it simply recharges from sunlight. But don't worry if you are more of a night owl, there is a power savings feature for those times when you won't see any sunlight for a while. You also never have to set the calender, even in a leap year. This watch even comes with an alarm on it which was kind of a surprise to see. My hubby also really liked the two squeeze buttons on the clasp, which he prefers over the other type of closings where you have to use your thumbnail to open it(caveman style I suppose). The diamonds on the face make it look very expensive and it's definitely a watch you can wear when you want to dress to impress. Great buy!
