Meet the watch everyone needs but doesn’t (yet) know it. The Citizen x Hobo Eco Drive Watch is a collaborative dream—the result of a union that has been the subject of much buzz since its formation several years ago. Since then, fashion types have celebrated each distinctive timepiece with great exaltation. This newest launch between Citizen and the Japanese bag brand, Hobo, is certainly no exception. What is special about this watch is that it is hardly a showy, OTT accessory, but something that anyone can wear anywhere.
Featuring both a nylon and a leather strap, this practical watch is an effortless and stylish accent that completes any look. The inspiration for the design was the ever-classic military field watch, known more for its form and function than its fashionable appeal. Despite this, there is no denying that this is a sartorial powerhouse in every sense of the word. It’s designed with longevity in mind. Details like a stainless steel case, cowhide leather, and the famed Citizen Eco-Drive movement lend it enduring credibility. The latter feature is especially noteworthy, as it is solar-powered and offers 180 days of reserve power. If ever there was a good excuse to invest in a new watch, it’s this.
