■ “Exceed’s record” of being the world’s thinnest 7.0mm

The Exceed CB114 series, which is the base of the CB1147-61E, is a model that has achieved the world's thinnest 7.0mm (design value) as an analog multi-station reception type photovoltaic radio clock. Watches in this category combine multiple technical elements such as radio wave reception function, eco-drive, and analog display, and the technical challenge of fitting it into a mere 7.0mm shows Exceed's determination in manufacturing.

A thin watch fits naturally on your wrist, so you won't feel any discomfort when wearing it. The visual effect of the sophisticated silhouette peeking out from the cuff is another unique appeal of thin watches. The world's thinnest specs are available in a special design called LIGHT in BLACK, and only 500 pieces will be produced—this is what makes the CB1147-61E model so rare.

■ “Japanese craft beauty” of gold powder maki-e rings

The gold powder lacquer pattern on the end ring is a design unique to Exceed, a Japanese luxury watch line. Maki-e has been passed down to Japan as a lacquer craft technique for a long time, and the gorgeous expression using gold powder is a unique Japanese art technique that is recognized as ``MAKIE'' even overseas.

It is no coincidence that the theme of LIGHT in BLACK is ``light that symbolizes eco-driving'' and the combination of maki-e, a craft technique that embodies light. This special piece, limited to 500 pieces, embodies the beauty of Japanese craftsmanship, making it extremely valuable from a collector's perspective.

■ Positioning of CB1147-61E in the LIGHT in BLACK series

The 2026 “LIGHT in BLACK” collection is available in multiple lines including Atessa, Exceed, Promaster, Cross Sea Citizen, and L Citizen Collection. CB1147-61E is Exceed Line's LIGHT in BLACK, and is differentiated from other models by its specs of being the world's thinnest and the craft element of gold powder maki-e.

For those who want to get LIGHT in BLACK, but want to choose the most special one, the combination of the limited quantity of 500 pieces and the world's record-breaking specs of being the thinnest is the most powerful reason to choose it.

■ Buyer's comment

When I first saw the CB1147-61E, I had a strange feeling that ``thinness and design density coexist.'' At 7.0mm, it's the world's thinnest, which you can tell the moment you put it on your wrist, and the dial is packed with 5 patterns of 3D designs and gold powder lacquered rings. The amber yellow bezel and crown function as gorgeous accents, perfectly expressing LIGHT in BLACK's worldview of ``light dwelling in the darkness.'' Limited to 500 pieces—this is seriously worth it.
