Citizen Super Titanium Day-Date Eco-Drive salmon dial titanium bracelet 39,5 mm

The story

If today Citizen is best known for its affordable watches, it's worth remembering that the Japanese brand was one of the pioneers in the use of titanium in watchmaking. In 1970, Citizen was the first company to market a titanium watch. Building on this expertise, which is certainly expected in high-end watches, Citizen is now launching a new Super-Titanium series. And having already produced a small-second version of its now-famous Tsuyosa, Citizen is continuing in the same vein, but in a completely different and bloody clever way. It introduces the Super Titanium Day-Date Eco-Drive AW0130 series, watches with integrated bracelets that are more modern, lighter and just as affordable!

The model

Although not part of the Tsuyosa collection, it could almost be considered its titanium “Day/Date” sister! This model features a tonneau-shaped case measuring 39.5 mm in diameter and 9.8 mm thick, an ideal size combined with 100-meter water resistance and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.

Topped with a polished circular bezel, the case is crafted in Super Titanium with the Duratect surface-hardening process, giving it lightness and strength.

This design is complemented by a dial featuring a unique texture reminiscent of natural surfaces such as rock. On this model, the dial is salmon. On the display side, there's a day-date display at 3 o'clock! Large applied indexes and luminescent hands ensure clarity of reading. To complete the sporty-chic 1970s look of this Citizen AW0130 Series, an integrated Super Titanium strap is fastened with a folding clasp.

Caliber

Citizen represents a century of watchmaking experience, and above all one of the world's most important watchmaking productions! Its Miyota movements are used by numerous brands around the world. For watchmaking enthusiasts, its products are synonymous with reliability and robustness. Real tractors, capable of withstanding anything!

This new version is powered by a Manufacture Eco-Drive J800 caliber, which runs on solar energy. No more changing the battery every year, as this watch incorporates a rechargeable battery that is charged by exposing the dial to light, such as sunlight or fluorescent lamps. This movement is precise (+/- 15 seconds per month), features a battery discharge indicator and offers 240 days of power reserve if the watch is not used!

In brief

• A superb salmon textured dial with “Day/Date” complication.
• A precise Eco-Drive caliber offering 240 days of power reserve
• An all-titanium construction
