Citizen Unveils Two Exclusive Limited Editions To Celebrate 30th Anniversary
The prestigious Citizen line, known for its innovative approach to watchmaking, marks its 30th anniversary with two exclusive limited editions featuring Super Titanium cases and intricate Washi paper dials. These new timepieces showcase Citizen’s commitment to craftsmanship and precision, blending traditional Japanese aesthetics with cutting-edge technology.
Designed with a refined 38.50mm Super Titanium case, both versions offer a sleek profile with a thickness of 12.20mm and a lug-to-lug measurement of 45.50mm. The Sakura Pink edition features a rose gold coating, while the Platinum edition comes with a platinum coating, both exhibiting a primarily brushed finish with polished chamfers. A curved sapphire crystal enhances durability, while a smooth polished bezel and faceted lugs contribute to the sophisticated design. The fluted crown at 3 o’clock, adorned with the Citizen Eagle logo, complements the recessed button at 2 o’clock and the solid screwed case back featuring a medallion of the same emblem. With 100 meters of water resistance, these timepieces combine elegance with functionality.
The dial design reflects the artistry behind these anniversary editions. The Sakura Pink edition presents a pinkish-white textured dial, while the Platinum edition features an indigo blue dial, both showcasing brushed hour markers and a framed date window positioned next to the crown. The Dauphine hands match the case tone, and a gold center seconds hand symbolizes the 30th-anniversary celebration. Along the outer edges, a printed minute track enhances readability, while the brand’s lettering at noon and the embossed Eagle logo at 6 o’clock reinforce Citizen’s signature style.
At the heart of these limited editions lies the Eco-Drive A060 movement, a 23-jewel solar-powered caliber known for its remarkable accuracy of ±5 seconds per year. Fully charged, the movement offers up to 18 months of power reserve and features a perpetual calendar, eliminating the need for manual adjustments. The independent jumping hour mechanism allows for easy time zone setting, making it an ideal choice for frequent travelers.
Completing the design, Citizen pairs these anniversary models with a luxurious 19mm crocodile leather strap, available in brown or blue, secured with a signed deployant clasp matching the case material. Limited to 400 pieces each, the Sakura Pink edition is priced at $3,000, while the Platinum edition retails for $2,900. These exceptional timepieces embody the fusion of tradition and innovation, making them a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
