Both Modern and Authentic. The Limited Edition "Eco-Drive One" in Black x Forest Green | CITIZEN
CITIZEN
A rare piece, limited to 100 units, where a green accent color enhances the elegant design befitting a dress watch.
From "Eco-Drive One," which embodies the essence of a watch with its stripped-down beauty and the world's thinnest 1mm thick light-powered Eco-Drive movement (as of March 2022, according to Citizen Watch), comes a limited edition model featuring a forest green dial set against an all-black exterior.

An elegant watch merging the world's thinnest functional beauty with black and green.
The "Eco-Drive One 5 ATM Water Resistant Stainless Steel Model Limited Edition," which adopts a deep forest green dial, has been released for the "Eco-Drive One," featuring the world's thinnest light-powered movement. The beautiful all-black exterior, treated with Citizen's proprietary Duratect DLC coating for superior scratch resistance, is complemented by the forest green dial.
Despite its slim profile, the design seamlessly integrates the case, which lacks lugs, with the bracelet for a sporty, unified look. It also offers 5 ATM water resistance. Furthermore, the case back is shaped to follow the curve of the wrist, enhancing comfort.
The light-powered Eco-Drive movement, which achieves the "world's thinnest" by fundamentally rethinking its structure and manufacturing methods to house over 80 parts within the limited space of the case, is equipped. Additionally, through years of effort in reducing power consumption, it maintains its slimness while offering a 12-month power reserve on a full charge.
Externally, the contrast between the delicate hairline finish on the case and bracelet and the mirror finish achieved through Zaratsu polishing on the bezel's chamfer imparts an elegant impression befitting a dress watch, even while eschewing ostentatious decoration.
