What to know

The Citizen Eco-Drive 50th Anniversary Limited Edition uses a green washi-paper dial coloured with natural plant dyes. Citizen worked with an indigo workshop to combine indigo and a yellow grass-derived dye, producing the rich green surface. Gold-coloured accents add warmth to the titanium case and bracelet.

Reference AQ4091-56W uses light-powered quartz calibre A060, rated to within five seconds a year. Its functions include a perpetual calendar and independently adjustable hour hand, useful for travel without interrupting timekeeping. The 40mm case is rated to 100 metres. March reporting described 650 watches at $3,095. This is The Citizen, separate from the anniversary Photon and ATTESA models.
