Which Tsuyosa Shore should I choose?
The NJ0230-59L (navy blue, all steel) is the most versatile and understated. The NJ0231-56L (marine blue, all steel) is a lighter, more playful blue. The NJ0232-53X (moss green, full gold) is the most luxurious. The NJ0234-58X (coral red, two-tone) is the most expressive — bold colour with gold accents, but grounded by the steel bracelet links. All four share the same case dimensions, movement, sapphire crystal, and 100m water resistance.
What's the difference between the Tsuyosa Shore and the standard Tsuyosa?
Both use the same Calibre 8210 automatic movement and integrated bracelet design. The Shore adds a 120-click unidirectional rotating bezel, upgrades water resistance from 50m to 100m, includes an exhibition caseback, and introduces larger sword-style hands with a lollipop seconds hand. The standard Tsuyosa is a pure lifestyle watch; the Shore is a sport-lifestyle watch with functional dive-timing capability.
Will the gold plating wear off?
Yellow gold colour plating is durable for everyday wear but will show signs of wear over time if exposed to frequent impacts, abrasive materials, or chemicals such as cleaning products, chlorine, and perfume. To preserve the finish, rinse with fresh water after swimming and avoid spraying chemicals directly onto the watch or bracelet.
What does "automatic" mean?
An automatic watch is powered by the natural movement of your wrist. A small rotor inside the case winds the mainspring as you wear it, so no battery is needed. If left unworn for about two days, it will stop and need to be set again — simply wear it or give the crown a few manual winds to restart.
What is the hacking function?
When you pull the crown out to the time-setting position, the seconds hand stops completely. This lets you synchronise the watch to a reference clock down to the exact second. Push the crown back in and the seconds hand resumes. Not all automatic movements offer this — the Calibre 8210 does.
Can I swim with this watch?
Yes. With 100-metre water resistance and a unidirectional rotating bezel, the Tsuyosa Shore is suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and recreational water sports. It is not rated for scuba diving. Avoid operating the crown while the watch is submerged.
Is the bracelet adjustable?
Yes. The stainless steel bracelet can be resized by adding or removing links. City Chain offers complimentary bracelet sizing at any outlet.
Is this a good gift?
The coral red dial and two-tone gold finish make this one of the most distinctive and gift-worthy watches in the Tsuyosa range. It has visual impact, an exhibition caseback to admire, and the substance of a sapphire crystal, automatic movement, and 100m water resistance behind it. Strong choice for birthdays, anniversaries, and milestone celebrations.
What warranty does this watch come with?
The NJ0234-58X comes with Citizen's official 1-year international warranty when purchased from City Chain Singapore, an authorised Citizen retailer.
