A variation of the Royal Marines watch - much loved by watch collectors* as a tough beater, you'd struggle to get a good one on ebay second-hand for this price.
One of the nice design features is that its a monoblock - there is no case-back to this watch, the movement in dropped in via the front before they put on the sapphire crystal.
300m water resistant and if the strap is similar to the standard model it will be Kevlar (but don't quote me on that).
Possible 7.5% cashback via topcashback if it tracks.
* (although not quite as much as the 'ray mears' but thats a different story)

Very nice, that. Which is the Ray Mears version?

The Ray mears is the name given to a model that was discontinued in 2007 - it was never branded Ray mears, it's just that he wore one (I think) - they pop up on eBay.

Nice watch, well made - Eco Drive so no battery to change, Sapphire Crystal, super titanium and ion plated monocoque case which is exceptionally strong and 40% lighter than stainless steel, it’s shock and 300m water resistant, weather proof and anti-magnetic combined with an extremely hard wearing Kevlar band and authentic dog tag keeper. Its really bright luminous hands and numbers at night.

there's a Mears on eBay right now for 85 quid. Not unibody like this, but without the logo making you seem like a marines wannabe.

I traded off the logo for the price (and the fact that its for a beater).

Ordered thanks, great price for a super-tough watch. Heat added.

Cannot see the deal watch in the deal link, or by trawling thru the citizen range. No direct link?

Must have gone OOS or... Was a misprice because the link worked before....

I checked after I ordered one and they only had one left so they must be out of stock now.

Maybe a misprice because they are still listing out of stock citizens when I looked.

I bought this for a similar price last time it was on offer - cracking watch, wasn't ultra keen on the logo but it's fairly discreet when you are wearing it
