Citizen Celebrates 30 Years of Excellence with Limited-Edition Washi Paper Dial Watches
A Fusion of Tradition & Innovation
To mark 30 years of The Citizen, the brand’s flagship collection, Citizen unveils two limited-edition timepieces that bring together Japanese craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology. Featuring delicate Washi paper dials, these models celebrate the ever-changing beauty of nature, reflecting the Japanese aesthetic philosophy of “Okashi”—finding joy in small details.
A Tribute to Japanese Artistry
The dials, handcrafted from Tosa Washi paper, are inspired by seasonal transitions:
Spring Edition (AQ4106-00A) – Soft, delicate tones inspired by cherry blossoms at sunrise, set in Duratect Sakura Pink Super Titanium™
Summer Edition (AQ4100-22L) – Deep Japanese indigo blue, reminiscent of a tranquil summer night, encased in Duratect Platinum Super Titanium™
Washi paper, traditionally used in calligraphy and ink drawings, adds a subtle texture and natural translucence, making each dial unique. Applied polished hour markers, faceted hands, and the Eagle Mark symbol further elevate the elegant design.
A Masterpiece of Precision & Durability
Beyond aesthetics, these watches embody Citizen’s highest level of watchmaking:
