Pre-order item: Delivers as soon as available.
These two new models from the Iconic Nature collection are inspired by the wind and the moon, used as motifs for poems and paintings in Japan since ancient times.
The dials of both models feature Japanese Tosa Washi paper with a distinctive texture that allows light to pass through to the movement of the watch while expressing the beauty of the natural world. These unique characteristics make this natural material perfect for pairing with The CITIZEN’s light-powered watches with annual accuracy of ±5 seconds. When light hits the dial, the surface of the paper reveals subtle gradients of color and delicate swirls that allow the wearer to delight in the beauty of nature through the subtle shifting of hues and textures.
The AQ4100-65H model features Tosa Washi paper on the dial combining multiple layers of grey-tinged blue tones in subtle patterns to portray the natural ripples which the wind inscribes in the sands of the deserts and dunes. The case and bracelet are made of Super Titanium™*2 treated with Duratect*3 Platinum, providing an almost transparent silver hue that contrasts beautifully with the colors on the dial.
The AQ4106-18X features the soft, gentle tones of Tosa washi paper with its ancient egasumi-mon pattern, traditionally used in paintings and drawings, in subtle shades of brown, evoking the gentle light of the half-hidden moon on a misty night. The Super Titanium™ case is treated with luxuriously smooth, black-toned Duratect DLC and the strap is made of hand-crafted Chari-Happo goatskin leather. The leather is tanned with plant-based tannins and meticulously massaged in all directions to produce a distinctive texture with pronounced peaks and troughs. This soft, durable leather beautifully complements the ethereal beauty of the dial.
■ Tosa Washi paper dials provide a glimpse of fleeting moments of beauty in nature
AQ4100-65H: Expressing the beauty of ripples of sand inscribed by the wind
AQ4106-18X: Inspired by the gentle light of the half-hidden moon on a misty night
■ Chari-Happo goatskin leather strap with a unique three-dimensional grain (AQ4106-18X)
■ Movements with high annual accuracy of ± 5 seconds and a perpetual calendar
These models are equipped with high-accuracy light-powered Eco-Drive movements with annual accuracy of ±5 seconds, eliminating the need for regular battery changes. All The CITIZEN models with high annual accuracy also feature a perpetual calendar that automatically adjusts the date at the end of each month, including in leap years, until February 28, 2100. These models are also equipped with CITIZEN’s proprietary impact detection and lock function to protect the watch mechanism, an automatic hand correction function in the event that the hands deviate from the correct time, as well as a calendar that changes instantly at the stroke of midnight.
■ Super Titanium™ cases
CITIZEN’s proprietary Super Titanium™ is the ideal material for wristwatches - it is lightweight (approx. 40% lighter than stainless steel) with superior hardness (approx. 5 times harder than stainless steel), as well as being corrosion resistant and gentle on the skin.
■ The eagle mark - the symbol of The CITIZEN
The dial, crown, and case back feature an eagle mark - the symbol of The CITIZEN. Eagles have incredible eyesight – they can clearly spot their prey from a distance of 1,000 meters or more. The eagle symbolizes foresight, the ability to anticipate the future and act accordingly. Eagles have also formed bonds with humans since ancient times. The eagle mark symbolizes the twin ideals of The CITIZEN - foresight and dedication to the pursuit of ideals as well as the enduring connection between watch and wearer.
