In a quiet yet stylish expansion of its accessible Eco-Drive lineup, Citizen has introduced a new color variant to the European market. The Citizen BM7620-83Y brings a sophisticated, nature-inspired hue to the well-regarded BM762 series, following the release of two other models just last December.
This launch reinforces Citizen's commitment to offering versatile, light-powered timepieces that blend practicality with evolving style trends.
A Closer Look at the BM7620-83Y's Design
The new model retains the classic, wearable proportions that have made the series a favorite. It features a 38.0 mm stainless steel case that is a mere 9.7 mm thick, offering a sleek profile that slides easily under a shirt cuff. The case is secured with screws, hinting at its robust construction.
Where the BM7620-83Y truly distinguishes itself is on the dial. Citizen has opted for a rich, dark green face, a color that has surged in popularity for its versatility and connection to classic tool watches. It's accented with polished silver-tone hands and markers, ensuring excellent legibility. The matching silver stainless steel bracelet completes the look, fastened with a secure folding buckle with a safety catch.
Protecting that elegant green dial is a crystal glass, and the watch offers a practical 100-meter (10 bar) water resistance, making it more than suitable for everyday wear, swimming, and showering.

The Heart of the Matter: Reliable Eco-Drive Technology
Beneath the stylish exterior beats the true soul of this watch: Citizen's renowned Eco-Drive technology. Housed inside is the caliber E111-C0M analog quartz movement. Its standout feature is its ability to be charged by any light source, natural or artificial.
Once fully charged, it boasts an impressive 180-day power reserve, meaning you can store it in a drawer for months and it will still be running when you pick it up. The movement promises accuracy within ±15 seconds per month and includes handy functions like a date window at the 3 o'clock position and a power reserve indicator to show the current charge level.
Pricing, Availability & Initial Reaction
The Citizen BM7620-83Y is now available for purchase in key EU markets including the Netherlands, Germany, and Austria with a price tag of €189.00. This positions it slightly above some siblings in the line, representing a €10 premium over other BM7620 references in the region.
For context, in the United States, older variants like the blue-dialed BM7620-83L are often found on retailers like Amazon for approximately $220.
The new green colorway has already begun catching the eye of watch enthusiasts online. Early discussions on forums like Reddit's r/CitizenWatches are buzzing, with users praising the choice of color.
