Citizen AV3000-05A Moon Phase Watch

AV3000-05A

Overview

The Citizen Signature Eco-Drive AV3000-05A is a 44mm men's solar watch with a stainless steel case and a silver analog dial protected by sapphire crystal. It uses a E270 caliber quartz movement. The watch should run for up to 12 months when fully charged and will recharge when placed in the light.

The AV3000-05A is currently ranked #27 in popularity out of 345 watches in this catalog. No retailer link is on file for .com; current availability is unknown. This watch is part of a family of four watches that are identical except for their color or strap. You can see the other variations in this family as well as other similar models on the left side of the pagein the similar watches section below. By clicking the checkbox under a similar model you can compare that model with this one side-by-side. We use nearly 100 different weighted criteria to calculate which models are the most similar to one another.

The case of the AV3000-05A measures approximately 44mm wide (not including the crown) by 14mm thick and is water resistant to 100 meters. This should be sufficient for splashes, rain, baths, showers & swimming (shallow diving) but is not recommended for scuba diving. The stainless steel bezel shows a tachymeter and is fixed (cannot be rotated). The gap between the lugs is 23mm and the leather band can be removed using a band removal tool to be replaced with another band.

The AV3000-05A provides the following features and complications:

  • Second hand
  • Seconds subdial
  • Minute hand
  • Hour hand
  • 24 hour subdial to show if it is morning or night
  • Chronograph that includes subdials for hours and minutes with a minimum resolution of 1/5 second and a maximum duration of 720 minutes. The central second hand is used by the chronograph. When the chronograph is not in use this hand is stationary. Seconds are shown on the seconds subdial.
  • Date window to show the day of the month. Note that some watches may be damaged if you attempt to change the date between 8:00 PM and 2:00 AM, in which case you should change the time to be outside that range first then reset the time after adjusting the date. Check your watch manual for details.
  • Moonphase window to show the phase of the moon
