Common consensus is that the Grand Classic looks right at home in the most casual of situations- a trip out with friends- to the most serious- interviews, family functions, formal events of all manner.

Aptly named the NB0040-58E Grand Classic, this watch invokes the quintessential stylish wristwatch.

Coming all the way from Japan, this model employs the Miyota 9010 movement, a workhorse that only loses about five seconds per day.

This automatic calibre movement is, in fact, exclusive to the Citizen Grand Classic.

Their Eco-Drive system, a form of light powering for watches, made waves upon its inception in 1995.

The Grand Classic, however, opts for a more traditional 42 hour power reserve.

This timepiece epitomizes everlasting character, what wristwatch aficionados worldwide recognize and feel awe at.

This character comes, firstly, from a brand of tremendous repute.

All elements of this watch create this sense of inexorable class- even the shade of stainless steel reminds you of the pieces you would gaze at in magazines as a child- or maybe that was just me.

Regardless, the Citizen Grand Classic puts its best foot forward, every time.

The sapphire crystal is dual coated, anti reflective, scratch and impact resistant.

Adorning the face are stick numerals, between these are smaller stick numerals for hours for every twelve minutes, with smaller yet tick marks placed at four minute intervals.

The silver color scheme on these numerals contrasts well with the white dial face.

The Citizen logo, in capitals of brilliant silver, sits below the twelve numeral.

This provides brilliant contrast, along with the sleek black second hand.

The Grand Classic is, of course, multifunctional, so it has a trapezoidal date box in lieu of a three numeral.

Citizen has endowed it with a water resistance of 330 feet, or 100 meters.

Anyone who fancies a swim or any casual watersports will have nothing to worry about while wearing the NB0040-58E Grand Classic.

The previously mentioned 42 hours of power reserve are, of course, available for the avid traveller.

It is equipped with a fold over clasp, openable via a hidden double push button.

One can rest easy while putting it to said use because of Citizens standard 5 year warranty.

Screw pins are present in the band, which makes sizing tremendously easy- provided the wearer has a kit.
