โ The beauty of camellias in full bloom on white pearl oysters
The most attractive feature of the ES9498-69N is the white pearl dial with a camellia motif in full bloom. The camellia flower pattern is delicately drawn using etching technology on top of the beautiful shine of the naturally occurring white pearl oyster. The combination of dot patterns that look like beads of light falling on the petals expresses loveliness and elegance.
The pink gradation that colors the outer periphery of the dial is truly lovely, further enhancing the gorgeousness and cuteness of Camellia. The dial index is set with 5 points of lab-grown diamonds and cut parts. The special feeling of being limited to 1,300 pieces worldwide is also appealing.
The hikari collection's concept of "grains of light" is beautifully expressed in this model. The way the white pearl oysters and diamonds sparkle delicately in the sunlight and indoor lighting makes me feel happy every time I see them.
โ Surprisingly light super titanium
The case and band are made of Citizen's proprietary super titanium. It is approximately 40% lighter than stainless steel, achieving an amazingly lightweight design of approximately 33g. It's comfortable to wear, and you won't get tired even if you wear it for a long time.
The case and band are coated with Duratect Sakura Pink, giving off a beautiful cherry-colored shine. Due to the Duratect treatment, which has a surface hardness more than 5 times that of stainless steel, it is scratch resistant and maintains its beautiful shine for a long time.
It is skin-friendly and nickel allergy resistant, so even those with sensitive skin can wear it with confidence. It also has rust-resistant properties, making it a material that can be used with confidence in everyday use.
โ Simple adjustment without tools
Equipped with a simple adjustment function, you can adjust the band size yourself without using tools. It is compatible with arm circumferences of up to 18cm, making it suitable for a wide range of people. This is a convenient feature that allows you to choose it as a gift with confidence.
The width of the band is approximately 12 mm and the design is delicate, giving it a feminine and delicate impression. Combined with the lightness of super titanium, it is so comfortable that you will forget you are wearing it.
โ Eco-drive with no need to replace batteries
Equipped with a photovoltaic Eco-Drive, the watch continues to run by converting sunlight and small amounts of light indoors into electricity. It doesn't require regular battery replacement, so it's hassle-free and environmentally friendly. It comes with a power save function that lasts about 3 years when fully charged, so you can use it with confidence.
It also has a remaining charge display function and a charging warning function, so you can see at a glance when it's time to charge. Another great feature is that the overcharge prevention function keeps the battery in optimal condition.
โ Radio-controlled solar compatible with Japan, China, the US, and Europe
This is a radio solar watch that is compatible with 4 areas: Japan, China, America, and Europe. Equipped with automatic receiving station selection function, scheduled reception function, and forced reception function, it keeps accurate time at all times. With an average monthly difference of ยฑ15 seconds, the accuracy is reliable even in environments where radio waves cannot be received.
The perpetual calendar function eliminates the need for calendar adjustments until February 28, 2100. It also automatically adjusts for leap years, so you don't have to worry about setting the date.
โ Happy Flight, convenient for overseas travel
Equipped with the World Time function (24 hour difference) Happy Flight, you can easily set the time to overseas by simply pulling the crown. It also has a summer time function, which is really convenient when traveling abroad or on business trips.
The automatic needle correction function automatically returns the needle to its correct position even if it becomes misaligned due to magnetism or impact. The Perfex technology (JIS class 1 magnetic resistance, shock detection function, automatic needle correction function) makes it reliable and can be used with confidence in daily life.
โ Luminous function makes it easy to see even in dark places
Luminous paint is used for the hands, so you can check the time even in dark places. The spherical sapphire glass has an anti-reflective coating that suppresses light reflection and improves visibility.
It has a waterproof function of 5 ATM for daily life, so you can wear it with confidence even when working with water or on rainy days. It has a type 1 anti-magnetic performance and is resistant to the magnetism encountered in daily life.

โ Buyer's comment
When I first picked up the ES9498-69N, I was really surprised at how light it was. Weighing only 33g, it feels so light that you'll forget you're wearing it. The texture of the super titanium is wonderful, and the beautiful duratect cherry pink coating adds an elegant touch to your arm.
The design of the camellia in full bloom on the white pearl dial is truly beautiful. The combination of the delicate etched flower pattern and the dot pattern that expresses the particles of light is exquisite, and you'll discover something new every time you look at it. The pink gradation around the outer edge of the dial perfectly brings out the gorgeousness and cuteness of the Camellia.
The 5 points of lab-grown diamonds give off a subtle yet sure presence. The way the diamonds and cut parts placed on the index sparkle when they catch the light is truly beautiful. The special feeling of being limited to 1,300 pieces worldwide further enhances the appeal of this model.
I was also impressed with how comfortable it was to wear. Thanks to the simple adjustment function, it is really convenient to be able to adjust the size yourself without using tools. The delicate band width of approximately 12mm creates a feminine look, and you won't get tired even if you wear it for a long time. It's nickel allergy resistant, so even people with sensitive skin can wear it with confidence.
I am also experiencing the convenience of eco-driving. Since it can be charged using sunlight or indoor light, you can save yourself the trouble of regularly replacing batteries. It has a charge remaining capacity display function, so you can see at a glance when to charge. It comes with a power save function that allows it to run for about 3 years when fully charged, so you don't have to worry about it even if you don't use it for a long time.
The radio solar function is really convenient, and it's compatible with four areas: China, China, the US, and Europe, so it's useful when traveling overseas. The Happy Flight function allows you to easily set the watch to overseas time by simply pulling the crown. Thanks to the automatic receiving station selection function and scheduled reception function, it keeps accurate time at all times.
The strength against magnetism and impact due to Perfex technology is also reliable. It integrates JIS Class 1 magnetic resistance, shock detection function, and automatic needle correction function, so you can use it with confidence in your daily life. It's really convenient that even if the needle is misaligned, it will automatically return it to the correct position.
It is also attractive that the perpetual calendar function does not require calendar adjustment until February 28, 2100. It also automatically adjusts for leap years, so you don't have to worry about setting the date at all. It also has a summer time function, so you can rest assured even when the seasons change.
The anti-reflective coating applied to the spherical sapphire glass is wonderful, suppressing light reflection and highlighting the beauty of the dial. The hands are coated with luminous paint, so you can check the time even in the dark. It's waterproof to 5 ATM, so you can wear it without worrying about doing water work or on rainy days.
The fact that it is an eco-marked product that is environmentally friendly is also wonderful because it matches modern values. Using lab-grown diamonds also contributes to reducing environmental impact. I felt that it was a watch that was both beautiful and environmentally friendly, meeting the needs of today's world.
The reliable quality made in Japan is also attractive, and the finish shows the attention to detail. By registering with MY CITIZEN, you will be covered by a 5-year domestic warranty, so you can rest assured that after-sales service is also excellent. The reliable quality that can be used for a long time will be a gentle companion to your daily lifestyle.
The ES9498-69N, which combines glamor, cuteness, and practicality, is truly recommended as a reward for yourself or a gift for a loved one. We would like you to enjoy the beauty of the camellia in full bloom on the white pearl oyster on your wrist. by Fujimuro
