What it is
The 0950 is the movement of the Series 8, Citizen’s high-end mechanical line. It beats at 28,800 per hour: the seconds hand makes eight steps a second and looks smoother, and a high beat rate tends to cope better with knocks and changes of position.
It is designed to resist everyday magnetism, the most common reason an automatic suddenly runs fast for no obvious reason.
For anyone who wants the most modern mechanics from a Japanese brand and is willing to pay for them.
Maker: Citizen. The figures on this page come from each watch’s spec sheet.
