CITIZEN AN8220-52X Green Dial Silver Bracelet Men's Watch

The CITIZEN AN8220-52X is a men's quartz chronograph watch, a battery-powered timepiece with a stopwatch function, finished with a green dial and a silver stainless steel bracelet. It suits professionals and casual wearers who want reliable timekeeping without daily winding, and the multifunction movement brings chronograph, date and 24-hour sub-dials together in one 42mm case.

The CITIZEN AN8220-52X men's quartz chronograph watch is built around a 42mm stainless steel case that sits flat on the wrist and suits both shirt cuffs and casual sleeves. Mineral glass covers the green dial, where silver-tone hands and markers keep the time easy to read in office or outdoor light. Water resistance is 50 metres, enough for rain and hand-washing but not swimming. A safety fold-over clasp with a push button secures the silver stainless steel bracelet, and the watch carries a one-year international warranty.

Key features and benefits of the CITIZEN AN8220-52X

• Quartz multifunction movement: A battery-powered quartz movement drives the chronograph, date and 24-hour sub-dials. You do not need to wind it, so it is ready to wear after time in a drawer.
• 42mm stainless steel case: The mid-size case sits flat on the wrist and works with shirt cuffs or casual sleeves. Stainless steel resists corrosion and the knocks of daily wear.
• Green dial with silver-tone hands and markers: The green face gives the watch a quiet point of difference. Silver-tone hands and markers provide clear contrast for reading the time.
• Silver stainless steel bracelet: The metal bracelet matches the case for a cohesive look. A jeweller can remove links to adjust the fit.
• Mineral glass crystal: Mineral glass is a hard crystal material that covers the dial and resists everyday scratches better than acrylic. It helps protect the face from keys, desk edges and similar hazards.
• 50 metre water resistance: The case seals handle splashes, rain and brief immersion. The rating does not cover swimming, diving or high-pressure water jets.
• Safety fold-over clasp with push button: The double-locking clasp opens only when both buttons are pressed. That helps prevent accidental release during movement.
• Chronograph sub-dials: Three chronograph sub-dials measure elapsed seconds, minutes and hours. Pushers at 2 and 4 o'clock start, stop and reset the stopwatch.
• Date window at 4 o'clock: A small aperture shows the day of the month. The quartz movement advances the date automatically at midnight.
• 24-hour sub-dial: A dedicated 24-hour indicator helps track a second time zone. It also lets you tell AM from PM at a glance.
• Full function set: The watch shows hours, minutes, seconds, date, chronograph timing and a 24-hour indicator. One watch covers daily timekeeping and simple timing tasks.
• One-year international warranty: CITIZEN provides a one-year international warranty. It covers manufacturing defects for that period.

Who the CITIZEN AN8220-52X watch is for

The CITIZEN AN8220-52X suits men who want one watch for work, weekends and travel. The green dial adds colour without shouting, while the silver stainless steel bracelet keeps the watch formal enough for business casual settings. Quartz operation means it is ready to wear after weeks in a drawer, and the 42mm case fits most wrists. The chronograph and 24-hour sub-dials give it useful functions beyond simple timekeeping.

• Office days when you want a watch that pairs with a suit or smart-casual shirt.
• Commuting in rain or crowded transport, where splash protection and a secure clasp matter.
• Travel when a 24-hour sub-dial helps you keep an eye on a second time zone.
• Everyday wear when you prefer a battery-powered watch that does not need winding.
• Timing tasks such as cooking or a short workout with the chronograph pushers.

Less suitable if: you plan to swim, snorkel or shower with the watch on, because 50 metres water resistance does not cover sustained water pressure.

Using and caring for the CITIZEN AN8220-52X

Set the time and date by pulling the crown to the first position for the date or the second position for the time, then push it back fully to protect the seals.

Ask a jeweller to check the bracelet fit and clasp once a year.

• Pull the crown to position 1 for the date or position 2 for the time, then push it in fully.
• Press the chronograph pushers only when the watch is dry to keep the seals intact.
• Clean the case and bracelet with a damp microfibre cloth; avoid ultrasonic cleaners.
• Replace the battery at a qualified service centre to preserve water resistance.
• Store the watch in a dry place away from direct sunlight when it is not worn for long periods.

How to choose a men's quartz chronograph watch

When you choose a men's quartz chronograph watch, case size, dial colour, water resistance and bracelet type matter most.

Its silver stainless steel bracelet uses a safety fold-over clasp with a push button. If you need swim-ready water resistance, look for 100 metres or more.
