Hands on Review – Citizen Eco-Drive AU1065-58E “Axiom” Black Watch
Inspired by the creativity of dedicated craftsmen, the Citizen AU1065-58E Eco-Drive “Axiom” Black Watch lends a classic look to a timepiece equipped with sophisticated precision mechanics.
Featured in stainless steel with all-black ion plating, accents, dial and the fascinating edge-to-edge glass, Axiom’s design seems to have been inspired by famous luxury watches to create an attractively conservative timepiece that requires no battery.
Plus, keeping in mind that few men want to attend a formal event wearing a sports watch or have the ability to spend thousands on a dress watch, Citizen has been evolving the application of the Eco-Drive movements by incorporating them into classy watches, suitable for daily wear. Needless to say, if you are a true trendsetter, the Axiom AU1065-58E might just be the timepiece for you.
