WIND JACK

Challenging Design

Throughout its history of over 100 years, CITIZEN has produced numerous world firsts and world records. This article introduces epoch-making products that have pioneered new possibilities for watches by incorporating the technology of each era.

Impactful Face

A major feature of this model is its timer function, which is specifically designed for windsurfing and yacht (dinghy) races. The development involved designers with actual yacht racing experience, focusing on making the watch easier to use and read. The digital display shows the most important information during a race—the elapsed seconds—most prominently at the 6 o’clock position. The elapsed time is also presented in a more graphical way, incorporating design elements reminiscent of car dashboards from that era, achieving both clarity and a sense of period style. As a result, this face design is highly distinctive and unforgettable at first glance. There is no doubt that this impactful design has played a key role in launching the new 'yacht timer' category as a product that is both user-friendly and unique.
