This new limited-edition The CITIZEN model, equipped with CITIZEN’s Cal. 0200 in-house mechanical movement, is being launched to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the first CITIZEN-branded watch.

In 1924, CITIZEN launched its first watch - a pocket watch that was the first timepiece to bear the CITIZEN brand name. This new model is a continuation of CITIZEN’s unwavering dedication to its pursuit of the essence of the watch over the last century and an example of the kind of beautiful timepiece intended to be passed down to future generations. This century-long commitment to the creation of enduring beauty is likened to a glistening iceberg, expressed on the dial using electroformed patterns and a pure silver color. The 18-karat white gold bezel has an elegant brushed finish, and the strap is made from Himeji Kurozan leather, also known as black diamond leather. It is created using a method that fuses traditional tanning and lacquering techniques, giving cow leather a lustrous finish that brings to mind the glitter of countless diamond fragments. The process is carried out by hand and involves repeatedly applying lacquer to the grain side and drying the leather to give it volume and a deep luster.

The Caliber 0200 movement combines both aesthetic appeal and average daily accuracy of -3 to +5 seconds, exceeding the chronometer standard for accuracy, and it has a free-sprung balance wheel to ensure greater accuracy in the long-term.

The transparent case back reveals the movement’s 22-karat gold rotor and an eagle mark-the symbol of The CITIZEN-which can be found on both the rotor and the dial. The eagle mark symbolizes the twin ideals of The CITIZEN-foresight and dedication to the pursuit of ideals as well as the enduring connection between watch and wearer.

Each watch also a limited-edition number engraved on the case back.
