The CITIZEN AQ4106-00B lets golden fibres flow across a washi dial

Where its crimson sibling makes a bold statement, The CITIZEN AQ4106-00B takes a quieter approach. The dial is formed from Tosa Unryushi washi paper, whose long embedded fibres produce cloud-like swirls. Golden strands run through the pale surface, making the precise pattern different from one watch to another. A Sakura Pink Duratect finish on the Super Titanium case gives the design a subtle warm sheen.

A dark crocodile-leather strap balances the delicate dial with traditional dress-watch character. This is still a highly practical watch: Citizen’s A060 light-powered quartz movement is rated to ±5 seconds per year, and the specification includes a perpetual calendar and 10-bar water resistance. Diameter is 38.3 mm, with thickness listed at 12.2 mm.

Citizen announced the AQ4106-00B on September 17 for an October 8, 2026 launch in Japan. Production is capped at 350 pieces worldwide, and the global announcement quoted an indicative US$3,100 price. Japan’s published list price is ¥462,000 including domestic tax.
