The CITIZEN NEW Products 2022

SCROLL

In accuracy, quality and design, The CITIZEN is continuing its never-ending pursuit of the essence of the watch.

In 2022, another milestone year, we will release three new models.
One featuring the light-powered Eco-Drive Caliber 0100 movement with world-leading* accuracy of ±1 second per year.
Then a second ultra-precise model, accurate to ±5 seconds per year.
And a limited edition featuring the Caliber 0200 mechanical movement which garnered such acclaim on its release last year.

All three models will launch in autumn/winter 2022.

For a light-powered analogue quartz watch. As of February 2022, according to CITIZEN research.

Eco-Drive with Annual Accuracy of ±1 Second / ±5 Seconds

Hand-dyed Indigo Paper Dial Model

A new frontier of accuracy and aesthetics

As part of our ongoing quest for beautiful dial design, The CITIZEN has released several models with dials of Japanese washi paper in recent years. Light-permeable and beautifully coloured and textured, as a material washi paper is wonderfully expressive. For our latest models, we have created a dial of washi paper hand-dyed with traditional indigo-dyeing techniques. The line-up consists of two models: the record-setting* Eco-Drive with Annual Accuracy of ±1 Second model, and the Eco-Drive with Annual Accuracy of ±1 Second model.

For a light-powered analogue quartz watch. As of February 2022, according to CITIZEN research.

Features

Exquisite ‘Japan Blue’ on your wrist

The official English name for indigo-dyed Japanese paper is ‘Japan Blue.’ The entire process of making it—from the cultivation of the indigo plants to the dyeing of the Tosa washi paper—is conducted in a workshop in Tokushima in Japan. The resulting dial is an all-natural product boasting a quite matchless depth and brilliance of colour.

Eco-Drive with Annual Accuracy of ±1 Second
Super Titanium™ x Crocodile Band model

This Eco-Drive with Annual Accuracy of ±1 Second model featuring the Caliber 0100 movement achieves new heights of serene sophistication. The lightweight scratch-resistant Super Titanium™ case is complemented by an LWG-certified* crocodile leather band. The transparent case back—a very rare feature in the world of quartz watches—gives you the opportunity to enjoy the subtly textured striped finish of the Caliber 0100’s black ruthenium plate.

Leather Working Group (LWG) is an international not-for-profit organisation. Its members include brands, tanneries and chemical suppliers.

Total Super Titanium™:
Eco-Drive with Annual Accuracy of ±5 Seconds model

Super Titanium™ is used for both the bracelet and the case of the Eco-Drive with Annual Accuracy of ±5 Seconds model.

Mechanical Model

Caliber 0200 Limited Edition

The beauty and craftsmanship of a suit of armour.
In miniature. On your wrist.

Limited to just 90 units, this model features the ultra-precise Caliber 0200 movement. Inspiration for the design comes from Japanese armour. Armour making was a truly integrated art form. Multiple traditional skills came together to create a practical battlefield costume that was also expressive of the wearer’s personality.

Features

The finest materials and processes.
A true pleasure to wear.

Stainless-steel case with a black zirconia ceramic bezel. Electroformed dial with the dimpled, hammered-metal look. A Himeji Kurozan leather band of a deep glossy black created by the application of coat after coat of lacquer to the grain. The subtle contrasts of case, bezel, dial and band within a strict monochromatic colour palette conjure the beauty of Japanese armour and its fusion of the functional and the decorative.

Caliber 0200:
High-level intersection of accuracy and aesthetics.

The Caliber 0200 movement boasts above-chronometer-standard accuracy of -3/+5 seconds per day along with a gorgeous finish that comes from the combined know-how of CITIZEN and Swiss-based La Joux-Perret. One highlight unique to the limited edition is the K22 rotor, visible through the transparent case back stamped with the eagle mark.

The eagle mark:
Symbol of The CITIZEN
