Citizen Promaster Altichron Cirrus Watch Hands-On
Do you remember the “new” Citizen Promaster Altichron watch that we presented last year? best watches went hands-on with the surprising 2013 Altichron re-release watch last year, which was a modern take on a classic multi-sensor watch that originally came out in 1989. If you thought the 2013 Altichron was interesting then the 2014 Citizen Promaster Altichron Cirrus ref. BN5048-01E is going to blow you away. If you feel that these types of high-end Japanese quartz watches are just plain weird, then at least check out what you are missing.As far as we can tell, what makes the 2013 Citizen Promaster Altichron and the 2014 Citizen Promaster Altichron Cirrus models different is the case and dial.

Each of the Hebrew characters has a numeric property, so they do actually indicate 1-12 on the dial (just in the reverse of how most watches do). The result is a watch that basically indicates the time in the same, but reverse way as standard timepieces.
