CITIZEN AN8195-58E Black Stainless Steel Chronograph Watch

The Citizen AN8195-58E is a men's quartz chronograph watch with a 42mm black stainless steel case and a matching bracelet. Its black dial carries chronograph sub-dials plus day and date windows. The watch suits daily wear at work or on weekends, and the 100-meter water resistance means you can keep it on for swimming or a shower.

A quartz multifunction movement powers the Citizen AN8195-58E chronograph watch, so it keeps time without winding and adds a stopwatch, day and date. Mineral glass covers the dial and resists everyday knocks. The safety fold-over clasp with push button holds the bracelet closed until you press the release. Stainless steel gives the case and bracelet resistance to rust, and the 1 year international warranty covers manufacturing defects. It is a practical choice for men who want one watch for office days and active weekends.

Key features and benefits of the Citizen AN8195-58E chronograph watch

• Quartz multifunction movement: A battery-powered quartz calibre runs the hours, minutes, seconds, chronograph, day and date. You never need to wind it, and the stopwatch is ready when you want to time an activity.
• 42mm stainless steel case: The case measures 42mm across and is made of stainless steel. That diameter suits many men's wrists, while the steel resists rust and everyday knocks.
• Black stainless steel bracelet: The bracelet is stainless steel in black and matches the case. A jeweller can remove links to give you a closer fit.
• Black dial with chronograph sub-dials: Three sub-dials track elapsed seconds, minutes and hours. High-contrast markers on the black dial help you read the time in low light.
• Mineral glass crystal: Mineral glass covers the dial and guards it against everyday knocks and minor scratches. It is more shatter-resistant than acrylic, but less scratch-resistant than sapphire.
• 100-meter water resistance: The case is rated to 100 meters, so you can swim, snorkel or shower with the watch on. It is not rated for scuba diving.
• Safety fold-over clasp with push button: The clasp folds over and locks, and a push button releases it. That double lock helps prevent accidental opening during active use.
• Day and date display: Two windows at the three o'clock position show the day and the date. Both advance automatically at midnight.
• 1 year international warranty: Citizen covers manufacturing defects for 1 year worldwide. Service centres in many countries honour the warranty.
• Battery life: The quartz movement uses a button cell battery, and typical life is 2 to 3 years. A service centre can replace the battery and check the seals at the same time.

Who the chronograph watch is for

The Citizen AN8195-58E chronograph watch suits men who want one timepiece for work and weekends. The black-on-black finish sits well with a suit, a polo shirt or casual clothes, and the quartz movement removes the need to wind it each day. Stainless steel handles sweat and moisture, while the 100-meter rating covers swimming and showering. It is a practical choice for travel, sport and everyday routines where a low-maintenance watch is useful.

• Daily office wear with a suit or polo shirt.
• Weekend sports such as tennis, golf or gym sessions.
• Swimming laps or beach days where splashes are frequent.
• Travel where a low-maintenance timepiece is preferred.
• Gifting for graduations, promotions or milestone birthdays.

Less suitable if: you prefer a sapphire crystal, which offers more scratch resistance than the mineral glass on this watch.

Using and caring for the Citizen AN8195-58E chronograph watch

Rinse the Citizen AN8195-58E chronograph watch with fresh water after saltwater or chlorinated pools, then wipe the stainless steel bracelet with a soft cloth. Mineral glass handles everyday knocks but can crack under a sharp impact, so store the watch in a soft pouch when it is off your wrist. Have the battery changed at a service centre so the seals are checked at the same time.

• Rinse under lukewarm water after swimming in the sea or a pool.
• Wipe the bracelet with a microfibre cloth to remove oils and salts.
• Avoid pressing the chronograph pushers while the watch is underwater.
• Keep the watch away from strong magnets, which can affect quartz accuracy.
• Ask a jeweller to adjust bracelet links rather than doing it at home.

How to choose the right chronograph watch

When you choose a chronograph watch, start with case size, movement type, water resistance and bracelet material. The Citizen AN8195-58E has a 42mm case, which suits average to larger wrists, and a quartz movement that runs on a battery without winding. Its water resistance is 100 meters, enough for swimming and showering, and the bracelet is stainless steel in black to match the case. If you need a smaller case or a sapphire crystal, this model may not be the closest match.
