Sapphire with full Arabic numerals?
Hey all, looking to buy my first non-smart watch with my own money and really liked the low maintenance and affordability of Citizen Eco Drive watches.
Being able to see the time legibly is really important for me in a watch and I really like the classic field watch look of having full Arabic numerals, bonus if there is 24 hour markings like on the Hamilton Khaki Field. And sapphire is an absolute must for me as I'm not a collector type of person and want just one watch to last decades and still have the crystal looking good as new.
I've spent days looking at a lot of Citizen watches, but haven't been able to find exactly what I want. The closest I could get to my requirements was the Promaster Tough BN0241-59W which has everything except for 24 hour markings. I also love the AW0050-82E, but it has mineral instead of sapphire.
Basically what I'm looking for is an Eco Drive sapphire Hamilton Khaki Field if that even exists. Though I'm guessing it doesn't and I'll have to settle with 12 hour numerals like on the Promaster Tough or mod sapphire crystal onto a Citizen field watch that comes with mineral glass.
