Citizen 30th Anniversary in Abidjan: discover two limited editions and the new Cityzen

For its 30th anniversary, CITIZEN has created a limited series that speaks to enthusiasts. The Cityzen watch becomes a concrete landmark for those looking for reliability, noble materials and attention to detail, ideal to accompany a perfect New Year’s Eve at the Sofitel Paris Baltimore Tour Eiffel or a special occasion.

Thirty years of material and precision

The brand features Super Titanium and washi paper dials, two technical markers. In this way, the cape is not just commemorative, but functional and durable. What’s more, the strategy of limited editions reassures collectors of long-term value. The Cityzen watch is as much for everyday use as for transmission, as a beautiful object to be worn on cultural trips to major art destinations and museums.

CITIZEN – Denpa 30th anniversary limited edition radio-controlled chronograph Eco-Drive CB5876-60E (Men’s watch; 100 m). Two legible counters, wave time setting and battery-free power reserve, perfect for keeping track of your outings, from free exhibitions in Paris this winter to weekend jaunts.

The washi dials reveal a lively, luminous texture, legible in any situation. Consequently, the association with Duratect reinforces the idea of a watch made to last. At the same time, the brand maintains a pragmatic focus on comfort and low maintenance. In this context, the Cityzen watch takes on a balanced look between tradition and sporty use, fitting equally well into the atmosphere of a lively Christmas village or a more formal setting.

“Thirty years old, and still on time.”

Iconic Nature Collection: rare materials, measured volumes

CITIZEN – 30th Anniversary Models Iconic Nature Collection washi dials Super Titanium Duratect Amber, yellow crocodile strap (Watch; Limited Edition 400 pieces; Cal. A060 ). The amber hue adds elegant warmth, while the high-precision caliber ensures daily rigor.

CITIZEN – 30th Anniversary Models Iconic Nature Collection washi dials Super Titanium Duratect Platinum, crocodile strap (Watch; Limited Edition 400 pieces; Cal. A060 ). The platinum tone gives a sharp contrast on the washi paper, for faster reading.

• Duratect-treated Super Titanium housings
• Washi paper dials with traditional texture
• Limited editions of 400 pieces depending on references
• High-precision movements, including Cal. A060
• Waterproofing and comfort designed for real-life use

The collection avoids oversizing, which improves everyday wearability. Each choice of material responds above all to a need for use. What’s more, the Cityzen watch retains a clear identity, even with strong visual variations. The message remains the same: precision, legibility, resistance.

Special editions: from pop winks to solar technology

Citizen – Aladdin 30th Anniversary GA1072-07D (Ladies’ watch; Disney Princess Jasmine; White). The setting celebrates a tender imagination, and the format remains easy to wear on a daily basis.

These nods don’t detract from technical coherence. On the other hand, they open up the range to a public that wants a story on its wrist. Also, the choice of colors and textures remains controlled so as not to compromise readability. The Cityzen watch takes on a more emotional dimension here, but retains its reliability.

Citizen – Super Titanium 30th Anniversary limited edition AB4B (Watch; Titanium, alligator leather; Solar 100 m). The lightweight case takes the strain off the wrist, while luminous energy reduces maintenance.

CITIZEN – 30th anniversary limited edition washi paper dial AQ4106-00A (Watch ; ø38 .3 mm 12.2 mm). The compact format favors visual balance and comfort under a sleeve.

Deep blue and washi: the trail of everyday life

Blue, often chosen for its discretion, remains legible under different lighting conditions. From now on, the brand will work on these shades without aggressive reflections. Also, the contained thickness facilitates prolonged use, even on thin wrists. The Cityzen watch is perfect for use between the office and the weekend.

Citizen – Super Titanium 30th Anniversary Limited Edition AQ4100-22L (Watch; Blue; 12.2 mm). The deep color balances the washi dial and underlines the slimness of the case.

Citizen – Eco-Drive titanium limited edition washi AQ4103-16W (Watch; Limited edition 400 pieces). Light energy stabilizes precision, titanium maintains lightness.

Choose the right reference: uses, sizes, materials

Before you buy, consider what you really need it for: office, travel, sport. For example, a radio control system or a chronograph only make sense if they’re used during the day. What’s more, treated titanium limits micro-scratches and benefits watches worn frequently. The Cityzen watch thus gains in visible longevity.

Citizen – Eco-Drive titanium limited edition washi AQ4100-22A (Watch; Limited edition 400 pieces). The titanium-Eco-Drive pairing adopts a clear logic: lightness and autonomy.

Availability can be short on 400-piece series. However, patient research leads to good opportunities, new or almost new. Keeping a wrist diary helps you choose the right size and weight. The Cityzen watch then becomes a tool adjusted to your pace.

In short, these 30th anniversary series demonstrate a rare consistency between style and function. As a result, the product message remains clear: solid, precise, easy to live with. And the balance between price, materials and service seems well thought-out, for a rational purchase. The Cityzen watch marks a lasting trajectory, without unnecessary fads.
