Why choose a Citizen watch as a gift?

Xrossie was launched in 1996 as a women's brand of Citizen watches. First, we will explain the features and appeal of Xrossie, which has been chosen by many women.

Popularity among women

One reason why Citizen watches are recommended as gifts for women is that they are very popular among women. The brand is well-known, which enhances women's desire for status.

In the domestic mid-price market for ladies' watches, X-C has been ranked number one in sales for nine consecutive years since 2015, and the numbers also show its popularity among women.

If the person you are talking to doesn't know about Xrossie, explain why it's so popular with so many women. Once they learn about its name recognition and the appeal of its collection, they'll surely be drawn to it.

Reliable and abundant functions

The XC is equipped with Citizen Watch's proprietary Eco-Drive technology, a convenient feature that allows the watch to be charged using sunlight or room light, eliminating the need for periodic battery changes.

Citizen Watch boasts unique technologies such as Duratect, a surface hardening technology that protects the shine of watches from minor scratches, and Super Titanium, a lightweight and skin-friendly material.

Other features of the XC include "standard radio wave reception" which eliminates the need to adjust the time, "water resistance" which protects the watch from water, and "Happy Flight" which shows the time in 24 cities around the world. Eco-Drive and water resistance are features that are installed in all XC products.

A design that attracts women

XC is divided into four different collections based on watch styles, each of which features models with designs that appeal to women.

The "daichi collection," with its sun and moon motif, is based on the concept of "a vast land that continues into the future." The "mizu collection" is characterized by transparent colors and soft forms.

The "hikari collection" expresses the radiance and grace of a woman, and exudes an elegant and feminine atmosphere. If you are looking for a watch that can be worn all around, regardless of the occasion, we recommend the "basic collection" that can be easily matched with any style.

Additionally, Citizen Watch has developed a unique, radiant color called "Sakura Pink®" as part of its Duratect series. Sakura Pink® is highly regarded as a color that flatters the skin beautifully, and is used in many of its models.

Duratect, a surface hardening technology that protects the surface of watches from scratches, is a proprietary Citizen technology that allows for a wide range of color expression. In 2016, Citizen developed Sakura Pink®, a soft color with a radiant shine, in pursuit of a Duratect that would be suitable for women who wear XC watches.


Popular XC models

XC has a wide lineup, so some people may not know which one to choose. Check out the features of the popular models listed below and use them as a reference when choosing a gift.

"Hikari Collection" ES9496-64W creates a feminine and gentle look

The sleek bezel of the "Hikari Collection" ES9496-64W, inspired by the halo of light that illuminates every moment, is inspired by the hopeful light that beautifully illuminates every moment. At the 12, 6, and 9 o'clock positions on the dial, cut elements are set to resemble shining light, creating a feminine and gentle look.

Another unique feature of this ring is that the "grains of light" that wish happiness to the owner are expressed in glass using laser processing, and you can enjoy watching the grains sparkle every time you move.
