Citizen Collection Record Label will release the long-awaited limited edition watch in March 2026.JG2170-59Ywill appear.
``PLAYGROUND Edition'' This product, which will be released in limited quantities of 500 pieces as a limited edition model at specific stores, features a yellow dial that stands out among the series. It is a truly playful piece that combines a retro-futuristic worldview inspired by 1990s product design with a pop that pops brightly throughout.
It is equipped with ANA-DIGI TEMP, which the record label is proud of. The triple functions of an analog needle, digital display, and thermometer are condensed into a compact case measuring approximately 36 x 32 mm.
The dial is specially designed with luminous paint applied to the base and a pop yellow color layered on top. The moment you place it in the dark, the entire dial becomes vaguely visible.This is a one-of-a-kind watch that allows you to enjoy two completely different expressions during the day and at night.

■ What is ANA-DIGI TEMP?
ANA-DIGI TEMP is one of the masterpieces created by Citizen in the 1980s. The innovative concept of integrating intuitive time reading with analog hands, data confirmation with digital display, and thermometer function remains unchanged in this model.
The digital display allows you to switch and check a variety of information such as stopwatch, dual time, temperature, and calendar. It is highly practical and can be used in any situation, such as outdoors or traveling. It's easy to see why record labels would reissue them.
■ Overwhelming personality that yellow gives off
Compared to the same PLAYGROUND Edition JG2120-73L (sky blue), this JG2170-59Y features a bolder coloring. Yellow may seem like a strong color, but it actually goes well with casual outfits. It works best as an accent to a simple style such as a white T-shirt and denim.
Although the case size is compact at approximately 36 x 32 mm, the dial's density and bright colors create a strong visual presence. It can be said that the sizing is such that it fits well on thin arms.
■ Luminous dial with two faces
The special specification, which took time and effort to layer yellow color on top of luminescent paint, gives it a completely different look in the daytime and in the dark. A pop of energetic yellow during the day, and a fantastic light that makes the entire dial stand out in the dark. Enjoying both of these aspects in one watch is an experience only available in the PLAYGROUND Edition.
When we think of ``luminous watches,'' most of them have only the hands and indexes that glow. The entire dial emits light, making anyone who sees it say "Wow!". This is also where the record label's playfulness shines.
■ Surprisingly light at about 65g
Although it is a full stainless steel analog-digital watch, it weighs approximately 65g. It's quite light, so you won't feel any strain on your wrist even if you wear it for long periods of time. It's slim, about 8mm thick, and fits neatly into your cuff.
It has the three characteristics of being compact, lightweight, and thin, so it can be used not only for everyday use, but also for active occasions.
■ The number 500 and the reason for “moving now”
The distribution conditions of a limited edition of 500 pieces and a model limited to specific stores are not very comfortable numbers. This model is already attracting attention as it is scheduled to be released on March 12, 2026. If you're a fan of a record label, the moment you see one is your chance to get it.
There is also the option of getting two together with JG2120-73L (sky blue) from the same series. Although the colors are different, it's extremely satisfying to see them lined up as the same PLAYGROUND Edition.

■ Buyer's comment
Personally, I thought this yellow was a ``color of courage.'' But when you actually put it on your wrist, it feels so natural that you'll be surprised. The amount of information contained in the analog-digital balance packed into a compact 36mm case, the fun of seeing the entire dial glow softly in the dark, and the light weight of approximately 65g that makes you hardly feel its presence. I put it all together and honestly thought, ``This is a hit.'' If you are confused about sky blue, I would like you to try the real thing.
