What to know

Citizen's Exceed DEAR Collection CB1140-79L is designed around a winter woodland at first light. The deep-blue dial carries subtle tree silhouettes and fine glittering accents; a lighter blue chapter ring suggests sunrise reflecting on mist above a lake. The overall effect is restrained until the light reveals the layered imagery.

The Super Titanium case is 38 mm wide and only 7 mm thick, with a matching bracelet. Calibre H147 is a radio-controlled Eco-Drive movement with perpetual calendar and world-time adjustment. Citizen lists 500 examples for Japan at ¥187,000 including tax, with availability scheduled for 5 November 2026. Its understated form leaves the atmospheric dial to do most of the talking.
