Citizen Announces The Arrival Of ‘Godzilla’ In Two Limited Editions
Citizen that celebrates the 35th anniversary of the Promaster line joins the iconic ‘Godzilla’ character, who also turns 70 this year, to bring two limited editions of the ‘Ecozilla’.
‘Ecozilla’ is the warm nickname given by fans to the Citizen Eco-Drive Professional Diver 300 that today could lead many to think about a prediction of this recent partnership.
These two exclusive editions come in a robust round stainless steel case measuring 48.20mm in diameter and 18.50mm thick, which here come with a black finish inspired by the scales on Godzilla’s skin, unidirectional bezel with pip-lume at 12 o’clock and several depressions to facilitate handling, mineral glass, screw-down crown at 9 o’clock with guards, steel case back hold with 4 screws and adorned with Godzilla’s footprint, and lastly, 300m waterproof.
It is in the tone of the dial that the two variants are distinguished, with the red version coming with a red-black camouflage pattern and an orange minute hand, and the black version featuring a black-grey pattern. Everything else is the same on both watches, printed hour markers and three centre hands filled with generous luminescent material, a white minute track on the flange, a discreet date window at 3 o’clock and the brand inscriptions followed by ‘Eco-Drive’ at the noon and the Promaster logo followed by three lines of text at 6 o’clock.
Inside, the expenses are given to the Quartz movement Eco-Drive B873, which comes with an accuracy of + / – 15 seconds per month and offers a power reserve of 6 months when fully charged.
The watches come attached to a black Polyurethane strap with a pin buckle in the same material as the case.
The black edition is limited to 2,500 units and the red edition to 3,000, both arriving at the same price of USD 900.
