Collection: Marvel Watches

Citizen Marvel watches

Citizen’s Marvel watches are officially licensed Eco-Drive watches, charged by any light, with Avengers and comic-book heroes on the dial. They run from a Black Panther chronograph rated to 200 metres to a Fantastic Four limited edition in Super Titanium, most of them at 42mm to 44mm.

The heroes

• Black Panther: a 42mm black steel chronograph with purple accents on a steel bracelet, timing to a fifth of a second, water resistant to 200 metres. See the Black Panther CA0297-52W.
• Fantastic Four: 39mm in Super Titanium under sapphire crystal, with a blue dial, the day and the date, limited to 1,100 pieces: the Fantastic Four AW0131-66W.
• Captain America: 40mm with a small seconds dial and a date, on a fabric strap.
• Hulk: 42mm and only 9.5mm thick, in black on a steel bracelet.
• Classic Avengers: 42mm under sapphire crystal, on leather.
• Wolverine: 43mm with a blue dial on a steel bracelet.
• Tony Stark: 43mm in black on leather.
• Spider-Man and Venom: sold as box sets, a 44mm Spider-Man chronograph on a fabric strap and a 42mm Venom on rubber.

Choosing one

Pick a chronograph, the Black Panther or Spider-Man, for someone who likes a sporty watch with a stopwatch. Pick a three-hand for something easier to wear every day; the Hulk is one of the slimmest at 9.5mm, and the Fantastic Four the lightest on a bracelet, about 84 g, thanks to its titanium. Bracelets go everywhere, leather is dressier but should stay dry, and fabric and rubber are the casual choices. The limited Fantastic Four is the collector’s piece, and other limited runs from Citizen and Bulova sit in our limited editions.

Questions

Are these official Marvel watches? Yes. They are officially licensed Citizen watches, made and warranted by Citizen like the rest of its range. For the Star Wars side, see our Star Wars watches, or both together in licensed edition watches.

Can I swim with them? Most are water resistant to 100 metres, which Citizen rates for swimming and snorkelling, and the Black Panther to 200 metres. The Captain America is rated to 50 metres, fine for swimming.

Do they need batteries? No. Every one is Eco-Drive, charged by light.

Which Marvel watch is the smallest? The 39mm Fantastic Four, followed by the 40mm Captain America. The rest run from 42mm to 44mm.

Is the Black Panther related to another Citizen? It uses calibre B612, the same Eco-Drive chronograph as Citizen’s Nighthawk, which you’ll find with its pilot’s-watch cousins in Skyhawk, Nighthawk and Navihawk.
