The design of the upper surface is composed of simple lines. The bezel-less design, with the case top formed by a conical surface and the black exterior, creates a powerful and modern impression.
The positions of the various ridges are carefully considered to make the case appear thinner. The watch has a strong sense of solidity.
By placing a metal ring with a different texture between the dial and the glass, the visual distance from the dial to the glass appears thinner. The 'ridge lines' formed by the conical top surface of the case and the sloped sides create expressive and subtle lines.
The upper surface of the glass protrudes significantly above the case. The side of the case is not a 'vertical surface' but a 'sloped surface,' forming a good design line. The positions of the various ridges are also carefully considered to make the case appear thinner.
The back of the case is designed in a shape that allows for machining, with design treatments applied. The lower slope of the case is also made wider to make the case appear thinner.
The case back is entirely polished. The text and other markings are engraved by pressing.
The letters 'CTZ,' representing 'CITIZEN,' are expressed as protruding, polished characters.
The main part of the band appears to be punched out of material and then bent and processed.
If you look closely at the 'CITIZEN' logo engraved on the clasp cover, you can see that the inside of the letters is sloped.
The polished metal ring placed on the outer edge of the dial creates a striking impression. The Arabic numerals are printed in highly saturated orange, resulting in a bold and contrasting expression.
The inner sloped surface of the window at the 3 o'clock position is designed to be slightly wider in the 3 to 9 o'clock direction compared to the 12 to 6 o'clock direction. This is likely to improve the visibility of the day and date discs.
