The Citizen BY1018-80E is built around a titanium case and a black dial.
Case and Wrist Presence
The case is worked in titanium.
Reading the Dial
The dial is black.
Movement and Functions
A light-powered movement drives the watch.
- Water resistance – 10 ATM (100 metres)
Strap, Clasp and Fit
The strap is titanium.
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.
Who This Watch Suits
- Building a black-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
Black is the easiest colour to place. It disappears into formal dressing and sharpens casual dressing, and it never fights whatever else you are wearing.
Care and Maintenance
None of the care below is onerous. It is the difference between a watch that ages well and one that simply gets old. Rinse the case in fresh water after a swim, especially in the sea, and dry it before it goes back on. Store it away from magnets and out of direct heat, and it will hold its rate and its finish.
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. Basic care goes a long way – keep it clear of solvents and perfume, rinse the strap if it has been in salt water, and store it somewhere dry.

Buying With Confidence
Buying a watch online comes down to trusting the seller, so here is exactly what you get. The watch ships new and unworn in its original box with the manufacturer’s paperwork, and it is covered by the full international warranty from the date you receive it – not from the date it landed in our warehouse. We ship nationwide with tracking, and someone actually answers the phone if something goes wrong.
Under the Consumer Protection Act you have the right to return an unworn watch in its original packaging, and a manufacturing defect inside the warranty period is repaired or replaced at no cost to you.
Authenticity, Warranty and Delivery
Every Citizen watch we list is sourced new and unworn through authorised distribution and arrives in its original presentation box with the manufacturer’s documentation. This reference carries a 24-month international manufacturer warranty covering the movement, excluding the battery and normal wear to the finish and strap. Delivered anywhere in South Africa.
The black dial is the thing people will comment on. If that is the watch you are after, this is the reference to reach for.
