The Citizen Mechanical Caliber 0200 Model NC0206-18E Japanese armour dial
Citizen released their Mechanical C0200 mechanical watch last year with their first mechanical caliber since 2010. The watch received very high praises from industry critics, including us. And for this year, Citizen decided to release another version in a dial inspired by the hammered look of a Japanese armour.
Solid case and dial inspired by Japanese armor
The deep black zirconia ceramic bezel has superior durability and hardness as well as a brushed finish on the surface. It contrasts beautifully with the brushed and mirror finishes on the case.
The combination of these design elements with the electroformed hammer tone finish on the dial creates a solid, formidable impression, much like traditional Japanese armor.
”Black diamond” Himeji Kurozan leather strap
The Himeji Kurozan leather strap has a lustrous finish that brings to mind the glitter of countless diamond fragments. The leather has a deep, black luster and volume created by repeatedly lacquering and drying the leather by hand.
The unique textures of the monochrome elements create an eye-catching contrast, providing an appealing look bringing to mind the functionality and intricate decorations of Japanese armor.
Powered by a high-accuracy Caliber 0200 mechanical movement
The Caliber 0200 movement combines both aesthetic appeal and functionality with an average daily accuracy of -3 to +5 seconds, exceeding the chronometer standard for accuracy.
The movement is finished using decorative techniques that combine the know-how of CITIZEN and Manufacture La Joux-Perret.
The transparent case back showcases the movement with its 22 karat gold rotor, exclusive to this limited edition model.
The specially designed movements in The CITIZEN watches incorporate all of CITIZEN’s know-how and technology, and their assembly requires incredible skill. The manufacturing of this mechanical model is carried out completely in-house at CITIZEN, from the movement to the finishing of the watch, and each watch is hand-assembled by our team of highly skilled watchmaking meisters.
