Tsar Bomba Skeleton Automatic Watch – Miyota 82S0, Round Case, S/CF Bezel Options

Tsar Bomba Skeleton Automatic Watch – Miyota 82S0, Round Case, S/CF Bezel Options

This Tsar Bomba skeleton automatic watch combines a round case, an exposed mechanical skeleton dial, and a choice of stainless steel or carbon fiber bezel — denoted by an S (stainless steel) or CF (carbon fiber) suffix across the colour range. Miyota 82S0 automatic movement. Sapphire crystal. Silicone strap with vented groove detailing and buckle clasp. 40-44mm dial diameter, 16.8mm thick, 5Bar (50m) water resistance. Available in 12 colour combinations spanning solid and carbon-fiber-textured options.

Key Specifications

Skeleton Mechanical Dial

The dial is fully open, exposing the movement’s gear train, bridges, jewel bearing points, and the balance area through the front. Layered bridges create visual depth across multiple planes, with hour and minute hands sitting above the open mechanical architecture. The outer chapter ring uses small markers for time reading rather than full numerals, keeping the focus on the visible movement detail.

The exposed balance area visible through the dial is a standard open-heart skeleton display — the balance wheel oscillating in view, not a tourbillon. A tourbillon is a distinct, significantly more complex complication that rotates the entire escapement in a cage to counteract gravity; this watch’s design shows the balance wheel directly rather than housing it in a rotating cage.

Miyota 82S0 Movement

The watch runs the Miyota 82S0 — a documented automatic movement manufactured by Citizen’s Miyota division, commonly used in skeleton and open-dial watch designs. Confirmed specifications: 21 jewels, 21,600 beats per hour, and 42+ hours of power reserve from full wind. The movement supports both automatic self-winding through wrist motion and manual hand-winding via the crown.

Stainless Steel or Carbon Fiber Bezel

Each colourway is available with either an “S” suffix (stainless steel bezel) or a “CF” suffix (carbon fiber bezel), letting buyers choose between a uniform metal finish or the distinctive woven carbon fiber texture on the bezel ring. The carbon fiber options pair the bezel’s technical visual texture with the same skeleton dial and case architecture as the steel variants.

Sporty Case Detailing

The case carries visible screw-style bezel detailing and a large, heavily textured side crown, reinforcing the sporty, technical character set by the skeleton dial. At 16.8mm thick, this is one of the thicker watches in the Tsar Bomba range, reflecting the layered skeleton movement architecture inside.

Silicone Strap

The strap is soft, flexible silicone with wide grooves and cutout-style venting that match the sporty case design. Band width ranges from 25mm to 29mm (tapered), with a standard buckle clasp. This differs from the FKM rubber strap used on the standard Tsar Bomba TB8208.

5Bar Water Resistance

Rated 5Bar (50 meters) — suitable for daily wear, handwashing, rain, splashes, and swimming. Not intended for diving or high-pressure water exposure.

Colour Variants

Available in 12 combinations spanning solid colours and carbon-fiber-textured (CF) bezel options:

• Red Black CF — black case with red accents and carbon fiber bezel
• Yellow — solid yellow colourway
• Gold Blue — gold-tone case with blue accents

How It Compares to Other Tsar Bomba Models

This watch shares its Miyota 82S0 movement with the Tsar Bomba TB8208CF, but uses a round case rather than tonneau, a silicone strap rather than FKM rubber, and offers a dedicated stainless-steel-vs-carbon-fiber bezel choice across 12 colourways rather than a fixed configuration. For the tonneau-cased TB8208 with a Citizen 8S20 movement, see the Tsar Bomba TB8208. For other Tsar Bomba models, browse the full Tsar Bomba Watches collection.

FAQ

Does this watch have a tourbillon? No. The exposed balance area visible through the dial is a standard open-heart skeleton display showing the balance wheel — not a tourbillon. A tourbillon is a distinct complication that rotates the entire escapement in a cage; that mechanism is not present here.

What movement does this watch use? The Miyota 82S0 — a documented automatic movement from Citizen’s Miyota division, with 21 jewels, 21,600 bph, and 42+ hour power reserve. It supports both automatic and manual hand-winding.

What is the difference between the S and CF bezel options? S denotes a stainless steel bezel; CF denotes a carbon fiber bezel. Both are available across most colourways, letting you choose the material finish independently of the dial colour.

Is the crystal genuine sapphire? Yes — genuine sapphire crystal.

Is it waterproof for swimming? Yes — rated 5Bar (50 meters), suitable for daily wear and swimming. Not intended for diving.

What size is the case? 40-44mm dial diameter, 16.8mm thick — one of the thicker watches in the Tsar Bomba range due to the layered skeleton movement architecture.

How is this different from the Tsar Bomba TB8208 and TB8208CF? This watch uses a round case (vs tonneau on both other models), a silicone strap (vs FKM rubber), and offers a dedicated steel-or-carbon-fiber bezel choice across 12 colourways. It shares its Miyota 82S0 movement with the TB8208CF specifically.
