Good luck finding this AutoZilla in this condition. Contains entire original kit, including tags!


The Citizen Autozilla was first released in early 2000's and is one of the holy grail of the professional diver's watches. It is rated as one of the top diver watches in the world with ISO 6425 International Standard compliance. Testing diving watches for ISO 6425 compliance is voluntary and involves costs, so not every manufacturer present their watches for certification according to this standard. Moreover, every single watch has to be tested.


The watch comes in a huge black leather box.... not really too sure whether is PU or leather thou. Nicely stitched and with a Citizen wording stamping in the middle.


Inside the box, the watch comes with an instruction manual, an international warranty, an extension wet suit band is also included and a spare bezel spring.


Despite of its size, this watch weighted merely 135gm. This is due to the case is being made of titanium and its band is of rubber. Citizen employed a revolutionary technology which involves a special treatment on titanium to harden the surface. Citizen called this, Duratect. Applying this technique Citizen has achieved a hardness 5 times higher by penetrating carbon from the surface in order to distort the crystal of the metal. The result is a scratch-resistant hardness for daily use.


Shock resistance is tested by two shocks: one on the 9 o'clock side, and one to the crystal and perpendicular to the face. The shock is usually delivered by a hard plastic hammer mounted as a pendulum, so as to deliver a measured amount of energy, specifically, a 3 kg hammer with an impact velocity of 4.43 m/s. The change in rate allowed is ± 60 seconds/day. This watch is fitted with a thick 6 mm sapphire crystal. Dome shaped crystal is used to enhance the pressure-resistance of the watch and to improve the watch face legibility under water. Anti-reflective coating is also applied on the crystal for the same purpose.
