A summary of Citizen's new watches for 2021

The Citizen Caliber 0100 Limited Edition

　This limited edition model from The Citizen features the Cal. 0100 movement, boasting the world's highest level of precision for an autonomous analog light-powered wristwatch, with an astonishing annual accuracy of ±1 second. The dial of this watch is crafted from Tosa Tengujo paper, a type of Japanese paper, lending it a unique and appealing texture. The pattern in the center of the dial is the result of a technique called "kagemakie," which creates the image of an eagle, The Citizen's symbol, spreading its wings. The large second hand is perfectly aligned with the scale, demonstrating the extremely high level of precision not only in timekeeping accuracy but also in processing and assembly. The dial and case back feature the brand's signature gold-colored eagle mark.

Attesa ACT Line Eco-Drive GPS Satellite Radio Controlled Watch F950 Double Direct Flight CC4016-67E

　This new model is equipped with Citizen's flagship Eco-Drive GPS satellite radio watch movement, Cal. F950. Despite being Eco-Drive, the dial has a metallic texture, sprayed with a paint mixed with fine metal powder, and combined with the crater-like subdials, it creates a design reminiscent of the surface of the moon. The case and bracelet are made of Super Titanium™, which is approximately five times harder than stainless steel, and feature a Duratect coating for a sporty color scheme that incorporates pink gold accents on a black base.

Citizen Collection Mechanical

　Two new models in the "Citizen Collection" incorporate traditional craftsmanship into the dial. The white dial model, named "Mayu-iro," is made by applying white lacquer to the metal, then sprinkling silver leaf on top, and then layering another layer of white paint to create an expressive white spotted pattern, recreating the soft white of a cocoon. Meanwhile, the "Dull Scarlet" is made by applying lacquer to the metal, then applying sulfurized silver leaf and then applying a gradated paint, evoking the image of a forest with autumn leaves at dusk. Both models are equipped with the automatic movement Cal. 9184, and feature a date window at 3 o'clock, a 24-hour display at 6 o'clock, and a power reserve indicator at 9 o'clock. Each model comes with a strap made of different materials. (The "Mayu-iro" is made of cordovan, while the "Dull Scarlet" is made of embossed calfskin.)

Eco-Drive One 5 ATM Water Resistant Stainless Steel Model

　Two new models have been added to the Eco-Drive One, featuring the world's thinnest light-powered movement. This model is the first in the series to feature a stainless steel case with water resistance to 5 bar. The two-piece case, which eliminates the case back, is just 3.88mm thick and is curved to fit the wrist. The case and bracelet are treated with Citizen's proprietary surface hardening technology, Duratect. One of the two models, the AR5064-57E, features a black case made with Duratect DLC, while the other, the AR5060-58E, features a bright, translucent silver case made with Duratect Platinum.

Eco-Drive One

　The Eco-Drive One is equipped with a light-powered movement that is just 1mm thick. This series boasts a unique appeal, and a new model has been added featuring a zirconia ceramic bezel. Zirconia ceramic is particularly hard among fine ceramics, offering excellent scratch resistance and ensuring that the flat bezel, one of the series' distinctive features, will remain beautiful for a long time. The sapphire crystal dial features a grid pattern, which, like the satin and polished finishes on the case, gives the entire watch a sense of depth. Two models are available: one with black Duratect DLC and the other with Duratect Platinum.

Campanola Eco-Drive Collection

　Three new models have been added to Citizen's Campanola Eco-Drive collection. These elegant names are typical of Campanola: "Amamitsuhoshi" (Stars Full of Heaven) with a white dial, "Amairohoshi" (Colorful Stars) with a black dial, and "Konruri" (Deep Lapis Lazuli), inspired by the Earth as seen from space. A realistic moon phase display is located at the 6 o'clock position, surrounded by discs finished with lacquer and mother-of-pearl. Light for the Eco-Drive system is captured by a ring-shaped solar cell around the outer periphery of the dial, allowing for greater freedom in dial design. Another highlight of this model is the delicate electroformed dial pattern, which is made possible by this process.

The Citizen Mechanical Model Caliber 0200

　Citizen has announced the Cal. 0200, a completely new, in-house designed automatic movement, and the "Citizen Mechanical Model Caliber 0200" that features it. This marks Citizen's first new movement since 2010. The Cal. 0200 showcases the company's advanced technical expertise, making this a timepiece worthy of being installed in a high-end watch. The balance wheel features a free-sprung spring, and the escapement is manufactured using the LIGA method. The gears and the entire movement are thickened for increased robustness, extending the power reserve from a weakness of the previous 90-series movement by approximately 60 hours to 18 hours. The automatic movement also features a single-wind mechanism for easy winding with minimal arm movement. The baseplate and bridges are manufactured by La Joux-Perret, a Citizen subsidiary. Even the screws that secure the bridges are meticulously finished, demonstrating the strength of Citizen's commitment to this watch.

The gentle line that flows from the case side to the bracelet is inspired by Citizen's archives, and the rough grain finish and sharp case edges create a sharp design. The dial colors are black, blue, and white. The black dial and the limited edition white dial feature a sandy pattern created using an electroforming technique, and the unevenness creates shadows, creating a unique look. The blue dial is coated and polished with a sunray pattern, giving it a glossy finish and a deep shine.

Below the Citizen logo is the traditional eagle mark, which is the symbol of The Citizen and symbolizes the company's high-performance models. Each watch undergoes a 17-day precision test in six positions and three temperatures before shipping. The standard static precision is a strict standard of -3 to +5 seconds per day. A certification certificate is included with the shipment. While the black and blue dial models come standard with a bracelet, the limited edition white dial model (NC0200-06A) comes with a black crocodile leather strap. The eagle mark is also featured on the 22K gold rotor visible through the caseback, making this a special edition.
