A stainless steel case and a green dial is what the Citizen AW1811-82X is built around, in a oversized case. It measures 50 mm across and 11 mm deep.
Case and Wrist Presence
The case measures 50 mm in diameter and 11 mm deep, worked in stainless steel. The surface treatment is polished. The bezel is unidirectional.
At 50 mm this is a genuinely large watch. It sits best on a wrist of 18 cm or more, where the case can span the flat of the wrist without overhanging the edges.
Reading the Dial
A green dial sits behind the crystal.
Movement and Functions
A light-powered movement drives the watch.
- Date display – the current date at a glance
- Power reserve – remaining running time shown
- Water resistance – 10 ATM (100 metres)
- Mineral crystal – protecting the dial
Strap, Clasp and Fit
The bracelet is stainless steel. Links can be removed by any competent jeweller or watchmaker for a precise fit.
Water Resistance and Everyday Durability
The watch is rated to 10 ATM, or 100 metres of static pressure. In practical terms that covers rain, hand washing, showering and recreational swimming. It is not a dive watch, so leave it behind for scuba diving and keep it away from high-pressure water jets. Make sure the crown is fully seated before any contact with water.
A mineral crystal protects the dial – harder than acrylic and more shatter-resistant than sapphire, which is a sensible trade-off on a case this size.
Who This Watch Suits
- Larger wrists that swallow a conventional 40 mm to 42 mm case
- The buyer who wants unmistakable wrist presence without a precious-metal price
- Building a green-led accessory wardrobe
- Daily wear that includes rain, washing up and the occasional swim
- Gift buyers looking for something recognisable, boxed and properly warranted
Styling Notes
Green has moved from novelty to staple. It works against brown leather, cream and navy, and reads as a considered choice rather than a safe one.
Care and Maintenance
A watch at this level rewards very little maintenance, but the little it asks for makes the difference between one that still looks sharp in five years and one that does not. Rinse the case in fresh water after a swim, especially in the sea, and dry it before it goes back on. A bracelet collects more than people expect. A soft toothbrush, warm water and a drop of dish soap along the links once a season keeps it looking new.
Keep it clear of perfume and solvents, off the speaker on your desk, and out of direct sun when you take it off.
About the Brand and Ownership
Citizen watches sit in the sweet spot between fashion and function: recognisable design, real build quality, and a price that does not ask you to think of the watch as an investment. Kept out of direct heat, away from magnets and wiped down after a sweaty day, a watch like this will outlast several phones.
The Short Version
What you are getting is a big watch that knows it is a big watch, a bracelet that gives it weight on the wrist. It is not trying to be a heirloom piece and it does not price itself like one. It is a well-made, recognisable watch that does the job every day and looks considered doing it.
