Retro-future that glows in the dark──Citizen RECORD LABEL AN3700-89Z, PLAYGROUND Edition Coral x luminous world limited to 2,500 pieces

There are few watches that suit the word "retro-futuristic" as well. The AN3700-89Z, which appeared as the PLAYGROUND Edition of the Citizen Collection "RECORD LABEL", is a limited edition model that combines the unique coloring reminiscent of products from the 1990s with the playful TSUNO CHRONO design.

The special specification, which has a coral-colored dial layered with luminous paint, has a dual nature: it gives off a pop presence in bright places, and the entire dial appears vaguely in the dark. Limited to 2,500 pieces worldwide. It's a piece that makes you feel good every time you wear it.

Complete collection of PLAYGROUND Edition. AN3700-89Z is also part of the same series.

The pop of coral color looks great on your wrist. Just the right size for the 38mm case.

■ What is RECORD LABEL? Citizen's retro future line

“RECORD LABEL” is a series that has a particularly unique position within the Citizen Collection. It features a design that pays homage to Citizen's masterpiece watches from the 1970s to the 1990s, and is an exquisite combination of retro design and modern finish.

This time's AN3700-89Z is a limited edition model based on the TSUNO CHRONO, limited to specific stores, based on the limited concept of "PLAYGROUND Edition." The color scheme reminiscent of products from the 1990s and the playful coral-colored dial attract the attention of the viewer.

■ Luminous × Coral──Dial board with two faces

The most unique feature of this model is the dial design. First, we apply luminous paint to the dial, and then layer a pop of coral color on top of that, using a special manufacturing method that you don't usually see.

During the day, the vivid coral color asserts its individuality, and in the dark, the entire dial glows vaguely.This duality embodies the idea of ​​"play" as the name PLAYGROUND Edition suggests. The hands and indices are also equipped with luminous lights, ensuring practical visibility.

■ TSUNO CHRONO Custom──Functional beauty of chronograph

It is equipped with Caliber 0510. Battery-powered chronograph movement with 1/1 second measurement and 12-hour stopwatch function. Practical specifications include accuracy of ±20 seconds/month and battery life of approximately 2 years.

As the name TSUNO CHRONO suggests, it has a distinctive form with a chronograph pusher that protrudes into an angular shape. This sporty yet nostalgic silhouette combines with the coral coloring to create a unique worldview. Equipped with date display and quick date correction functions.

■ World limited model of 2,500 pieces at specific stores

AN3700-89Z is a model limited to 2,500 pieces at specific stores worldwide. Even in the sense of rarity, there is a special feeling of satisfaction when you get your hands on one. I think this is a book that will make both collectors and those who come into contact with record labels for the first time feel that they are on the offensive.

Case size is approximately 42 x 38 x 12 mm. The length is 42mm including the lugs, so the case width is 38mm, making it a compact size that is easy to wear regardless of your arm circumference. Weight is approximately 90g. Although it has a solid weight as a chronograph model, the presence of the stainless steel bracelet actually enhances the texture of the wearer.

■ Buyer's comment

The PLAYGROUND Edition is a series that always makes me wonder how far I can go, and this AN3700-89Z is one of my favorites. The choice of the color coral, and the mechanism of the dial layering the color on top of the luminous light - when you look at the real thing in the dark, you can't help but say, "Oh, that's what it is." The 38mm case size is just right, and although it makes a statement, it feels perfectly balanced on your wrist. For 35,200 yen, a chronograph, luminous, and limited to 2,500 pieces worldwide, there's no reason to choose it.
