Citizen is proudly celebrating the 30th anniversary of its Eco-Drive technology with a new, exclusive timepiece. Limited to just 300 pieces worldwide, reference AQ4106-26L features a hand-dyed indigo Tosa washi paper dial created using the Murakumo shibori technique — a method that produces cloud-like patterns through delicate compression and dyeing. Each dial is unique, reflecting the brand’s dedication to artistry and individuality.
Encased in a darkened Super Titanium and Duratect DLC-treated case, the piece also serves as a testament to the brand’s pursuit of ultra-durable and refined materials. On top of its striking aesthetics, the watch is equipped with a high-accuracy light-powered Eco-Drive movement. It also includes a perpetual calendar that automatically adjusts until February 28, 2100 and features an instant calendar change at midnight.
The timepiece is further enhanced with an impact detection and lock function to protect its delicate mechanism. An automatic hand correction function also ensures its continuous precision. This exclusive Eco-Drive watch is priced at around $3,300 USD and is scheduled for release in August 2025. For more information, visit CITIZEN’s website.
