As a new addition to Citizen Key's Classic Square series in February 2026.EG2797-13Ahas appeared.
``A design that exudes gentleness and calm while exuding a vintage atmosphere.'' This is a book that conveys exactly what the official words say. The silhouette of the small square case, Roman numeral indexes, and embossed brown cowhide band gives it a nostalgic feel, like seeing it in an old photo.
The case size is ultra-compact, measuring 24.5 mm long x 17.5 mm wide x 6 mm thick, and weighs approximately 12 g. Its greatest feature is its extremely light weight, so you won't feel anything when you put it on your wrist. For those who have been looking for a watch that fits their slender wrists for many years, or for those who don't like large watches, this may be the answer.
Approximately 12g and 24.5mm long—so light and small that it almost disappears when you put it on your wrist.
Classic Square's world view: The square form creates a classical appearance.
Roman numerals and gold plating—a classic dial that elevates the class of your watch.
Embossed cowhide band and large crown—Classic Square's attention to detail is in the details.

■ "A small complete model that fits any wrist" at approximately 12g and 24.5mm in height.
The case size of EG2797-13A is 24.5mm long x 17.5mm wide x 6mm thick. You might be worried about whether you can really read the time when it's this small, but the Roman numeral index and simple hour and minute hands ensure visibility. At 6mm thick, it's one of the thinnest even for a typical ladies' watch, and it's designed to prevent it from getting caught on the cuff.
Weighing approximately 12g, it is lighter than three 10-yen coins. The combination of a stainless steel case and a cowhide band achieves this value thanks to Key's ultra-thin design technology. The wide adjustment range of arm circumference from 12.5 to 18.5 cm is a solid answer to the small watch market, where there have been few options, especially for those with narrow wrists.
■ “Classic three-piece set” of gold, Roman numerals and embossed cowhide
The three keywords that make up the design of EG2797-13A are gold plating, Roman numeral indexes, and a embossed cowhide band. When these three elements come together, it naturally creates a classical atmosphere reminiscent of the early days of mechanical watches. It can be said that it is a reinterpretation of past watch aesthetics on top of modern materials and manufacturing techniques.
The case has rounded sides, so even though it is square, it does not feel angular or hard. The large crown acts as a subtle accent, adding just the right amount of individuality to the watch as a whole. It can be used not only for dressy occasions, but also as an accent for casual daily outfits.
■ Cal.G620 Eco Drive—8 months of continuous movement with light
The equipped Cal.G620 is a photovoltaic Eco-Drive movement. The battery lasts about 8 months when fully charged, and there is no need to replace batteries, so there is no need to worry about maintenance. The charging warning function allows you to detect signs of power shortage in advance, and the second hand stop function lets you know when it's time to set the time.
The environmental friendliness of using recycled materials for dial parts and participating in 1% for the Planet is one of the reasons why people want to keep using it for a long time. As an Eco Mark-certified product, the value of ``a watch that does not dispose of batteries'' is recognized for its ability to both be a fashion choice and be environmentally conscious.

■ Buyer's comment
When I first picked up the EG2797-13A, I thought, "This lightness is a violation." At about 12g, you really don't feel anything. I often hear from people with thin wrists that they have a hard time finding the size that fits them, and this case size, measuring 24.5mm in height, can be delivered to such people with confidence. The classic combination of gold, Roman numerals and embossed leather is classy and makes a great gift. Perfect for those who want to add dignity to their everyday outfits.
