2025年7月27日

This is a limited edition model commemorating the brand's 30th anniversary, creating a new appeal.
The dial is made of Japanese paper that has been dyed in multiple layers using the traditional Japanese dyeing technique ``Aizome.''
The deep indigo color ``Kachiiro'', so deep that it looks black, creates a new appeal of the indigo-dyed Japanese paper dial.
It is said that the name ``Katsuiro'' comes from the process of ``katsu'' (pounding) cloth, etc. to dye the indigo darkly, which turned into ``brown'', and the samurai also applied the character ``katsu'' (katsu) to convey good luck.
It is a traditional Japanese color that has been used for dyeing weapons and celebratory items since ancient times.
A specially treated transparent top plate is layered over the Japanese paper dial to increase transparency, further highlighting the beautiful texture of the indigo-dyed Japanese paper.

The CITIZEN is a high-quality watch that pursues the essence of a watch and boasts outstanding precision.
