Commentary: Aiming to create a watch you can use for a lifetime
The mission of The CITIZEN was to combine dependable usability with high precision, with the aim that our customers would use our products for many years. Drawing from CITIZEN’s product history, the design pays homage to the styling of the Chronomaster released in 1968, which was developed in pursuit of the pinnacle of mechanical watch precision. It features a slightly robust, solid case and lugs whose ridges are expressed attractively, while the indexes have a strong presence for excellent legibility. While giving a simple, clean impression, it has been finished with a timeless, universal design that you can use for a lifetime without growing tired of it.

CITIZEN Standard

Aiming to create a watch suitable for the new ideas and lifestyles of the 21st century, the first model of The CITIZEN was launched in 1995 with the concept of "living together." Equipped with a highly accurate movement with an annual deviation of ±5 seconds, it also features comprehensive after-sales service, including a 10-year free warranty, long-term repair support, and a dedicated consultation desk. This model is a symbol of CITIZEN's watchmaking philosophy. The simple form, unaffected by trends, and the refined design that fits any scene or style—both hallmarks of The CITIZEN—are expressed in the distortion-free polished surfaces and fine hairline finishes of the case. The shape and size of the lugs, designed based on data analysis, are optimized for Japanese wrists. For superior legibility, features such as anti-reflective glass coating and thoughtful design of the hands, indexes, and dial ensure the watch is easy to read from any angle. Additionally, with a low-metal allergy specification, this is a CITIZEN watch that is gentle on the wearer. This is a model worthy of bearing the name The CITIZEN, created in pursuit of the true essence of a watch.
