Understanding the Miyota 9015 self-winding mechanical movement
Always striving for precision, reliability, and excellent value, we use the Citizen Miyota 9015 movement in most of our automatic three-hand, date watches. In this article, we will introduce you to Miyota, the characteristics of the 9015 movement, and our opinion on it.
Citizen Miyota
Citizen is a Japanese watch factory founded in 1918. A long-time rival of Seiko, a high-end Japanese watch company, Citizen, like the latter, is a true manufacturer. Indeed, through its Miyota branch designs and builds its own calibers. The brand has a genuine watchmaking history and today offers exclusive watches equipped with patented technologies such as the movement "Eco Drive".
Citizen is a Japanese company internationally renowned for the robustness and reliability of its movements. It was to them and their Miyota 9015 caliber movement that we turned when choosing the mechanism for our first automatic watch.

Our review of the Citizen Miyota 9015 automatic movement
The Charlie Paris team unanimously praises the merits of this mechanism. Watch enthusiasts agree that this movement is a true "workhorse," thanks to its robustness and reliability.
This movement features manual winding, allowing you to wind your watch yourself using the crown if you haven't worn it for several days and the power reserve has depleted. All these qualities combined, along with its high precision, make it a reliable, highly regarded, and truly sought-after movement.
