11 Best Affordable Perpetual Calendar Watches

Hey everyone, today I’m going to be taking a look at some of the best affordable perpetual calendar watches currently available.

The beauty of a perpetual calendar watches is that it doesn’t require adjusting for the varying amount of days in each month. Perpetual watches are automatically synchronized to adjust the shorter longer months, including leap years so it doesn’t need to be reset. It’s an impressive feature that I’ve always loved having in a watch.

As I’m sure you can expect, Citizen lead the way in high quality affordable perpetual calendar watches, but whilst they do dominate today’s list, there are a couple of interesting wild cards included.

I hope you enjoy taking a look at these popular perpetual calendar watches below, as always comment below and let me know what your favourite was.

1. Citizen AT4007-54E Perpetual Calendar

The first watch I’m featuring is this Citizen perpetual calendar watch with Eco-Drive movement. It’s an extremely sophisticated watch and very fairly priced considering. The Citizen Chrono Perpetual A-T model is a chunky black Ion-plated beast packed full of useful features.

A key feature to this watch is the Eco-Drive technology, this is found in many Citizen watches these days as it proved so popular. Eco-Drive watches charge themselves via the power of light, any light be it natural or artificial.

Extra functions for this timepiece include chronograph timekeeping, tachymeter, radio controlled, 200m water resistance rating, and a useful alarm function. The radio timekeeping means this watch automatically syncs up to an atomic clock for ultimate accuracy.

With an e651 calibre movement and a sapphire crystal glass, this has everything you’d expect from a luxury timepiece, without costing you a fortune. A very nice watch indeed.

 This is another one of the best selling perpetual calendar watches currently available. Whilst obviously, possibly not to everyone’s taste this still proves to be a highly effective, popular watch. Personally, it’s a little flashier than I would normally go, but I can understand some people love these style of bold watches.

This Citizen calibre 8700 watch is PVD gold plated and features 36 stunning diamonds inlaid around the bezel. The gold detailing on the black dial stands out brilliantly, you can see the dual time display, plus the day & date perpetual calendar function easily. The watch also has a handy alarm system, as well as a suitable 100m water resistance rating.

As with the previous watch, this model features Citizen’s Eco-Drive technology, powering itself by light, a very popular choice at the moment.

 For a long time this has been one of my favourite perpetual calendar watches. I love the design of it, and it’s absolutely packed full of awesome features. Thanks to its radio controlled atomic timekeeping, this is one of the most accurate watches in the world. It synchronizes with an atomic clock each day to make sure it’s as accurate as possible.

Another brilliant feature of this Citizen timepiece is the Eco-Drive technology. As with the previous watches, it powers itself via light and can hold it’s charge even in the dark for a very long time.

4. Seiko Kinetic Perpetual Calendar Watch

 Something a little different this time round from Seiko. This perpetual calendar watch functions with a Kinetic movement. I find kinetic movements quite interesting, they charge up similar to an automatic movement, but they can hold their charge due to their use of a quartz timekeeping mechanism, you’ll sometimes hear them referred to as an automatic-quartz.

The display of this Seiko is very nice, I like the interesting placement of the date display at the top of the dial, and the blue detailing for the watch hands is a lovely touch, adding an interesting touch of colour to the dial.

The Premier Seiko Kinetic watch also features a sapphire crystal glass for ultimate scratch protection and a 100m water resistance rating which should be more than enough for most people.

 

5. Citizen Skyhawk Perpetual Calendar Red Arrows Titanium Chronograph Watch

 This is another ultra high specification perpetual calendar watch from Citizen, I think just by looking at the dial you can see that this watch means business, and that’s why it’s a best seller. This Citizen watch is the highlight of the Red Arrows Collection, it’s part of the popular Skyhawk series, fully loaded with features suitable for pilots.

The titanium casing and strap make this watch stronger yet lighter than stainless steel, it’s durable and hypoallergenic as an extra bonus. The case has a water resistance rating of up to 200m of pressure, it also features a rotating slide rule bezel for calculations on the fly. The contrasting red bezel looks stunning in my opinion, an awesome addition to the watch.

The movement of the watch is another key feature, Eco-Drive technology means the watch never requires a battery as it charges from all available light, natural or artificial. It can even enter a power save mode when kept in the dark for extended periods of time, this way it conserves energy. There’s a handy power reserve display on the dial of the watch to help you with this.

With the radio controlled atomic timekeeping the watch is synced daily with world time signals around the world, this helps function the perpetual calendar of the watch as well as having extremely accurate timekeeping.
