Citizen Tsuyosa 60 Gets a Premium Gold-Tone Upgrade With Textured Dial and Jubilee-Style Bracelet
Citizen has given its popular Tsuyosa automatic watch a more luxurious refresh, and the result is one of the most eye-catching versions of the collection so far. The latest Citizen Tsuyosa 60 models bring together a gold-tone case, a refined guilloché-style dial, a Jubilee-style bracelet, and a visible automatic movement, creating a polished everyday watch with a distinctly premium feel.
Since its debut in 2022, the Citizen Tsuyosa has earned a strong reputation among watch fans looking for an affordable automatic watch with modern styling, reliable performance, and a versatile design. Over time, Citizen has expanded the lineup with several variations, including a more refined Central Seconds model and a smaller 37mm version for those who prefer a compact fit. Now, the brand is pushing the Tsuyosa 60 further into dress-watch territory with two stylish gold-tone additions.
The new 40mm Citizen Tsuyosa 60, identified as model NK0022-50A, features a gold-tone stainless steel case and matching bracelet paired with a white textured dial. It is also joined by a new 37mm version that offers the same design language in a more wrist-friendly size. This gives buyers a choice between a bolder presence and a more compact, classic profile.
One of the biggest upgrades is the dial. Instead of the standard sunburst finish found on many Tsuyosa models, these new versions use a stamped guilloché-style radial pattern. The texture adds depth and visual interest, catching the light in a way that makes the watch feel more refined than its price might suggest. It is a small detail, but it dramatically changes the personality of the watch.
Citizen has also upgraded the bracelet design. The familiar three-link bracelet has been replaced with a five-link Jubilee-style bracelet featuring polished center links and brushed outer links. This gives the watch a dressier, more elegant look while still keeping it practical enough for everyday wear. A push-button butterfly clasp helps preserve the clean appearance of the bracelet and adds to the more premium presentation.
The overall design takes clear inspiration from classic luxury dress watches, especially with its applied baton hour markers, sharp hands, integrated case shape, and magnified date window. The “cyclops” date magnifier gives the watch a familiar traditional look, while the textured dial and gold-tone finish help it stand out from earlier Tsuyosa models.
Inside, both sizes are powered by Citizen’s in-house Caliber 8310 automatic movement. This mechanical movement includes hacking seconds, hand-winding support, and a strong 60-hour power reserve. That means the watch can be left off the wrist for a couple of days and still keep running, which is a useful advantage for anyone rotating between multiple watches.
The specifications remain practical as well. Sapphire crystal protects the dial, offering better scratch resistance than mineral glass, while 50 meters of water resistance makes the watch suitable for daily wear, hand washing, and light exposure to water. An exhibition caseback also allows owners to view the automatic movement at work, adding another enthusiast-friendly detail.
The premium upgrades do come with a higher price. The new 40mm Citizen Tsuyosa 60 is priced at $675 in the United States and CA$795 in Canada. The 37mm model carries the same price. While that is a step up from earlier Tsuyosa 60 models, the added textured dial, upgraded bracelet, sapphire crystal, automatic movement, and refined styling help justify the increase.
With its gold-tone finish, compact and full-size options, elegant dial texture, and reliable in-house movement, the new Citizen Tsuyosa 60 strengthens the collection’s position as one of the most appealing automatic watches in its price range. For anyone searching for a stylish mechanical watch with luxury-inspired looks without stepping into luxury-watch pricing, this latest Tsuyosa 60 refresh is a strong contender.
