A two-piece case construction without a separate case back enhances water resistance in these slim models.
The Eco-Drive One, powered by the world's thinnest light-powered movement, welcomes two new models with 5-bar water resistance. These timepieces feature an integrated design flowing from case to band, and a sporty impression enhanced by the use of larger screws securing the bezel.
The stainless steel case and bracelet are finished with a delicate hairline texture for a refined look, while the bezel's chamfered surface boasts a smooth, mirror-like polish achieved through Zaratsu polishing. This creates an elegant contrast within its pared-down aesthetic. The 3.88mm thick (design value) case utilizes a two-piece construction without a separate case back, enhancing water resistance while maintaining its slim profile. The case back is also shaped to conform to the wrist, improving comfort.
The case and bracelet are treated with Citizen's proprietary Duratect surface hardening technology for superior scratch resistance. This collection includes two models: the "AR5064-57E" featuring a lustrous black Duratect DLC coating, and the "AR5060-58E" with a bright, clear tone achieved through Duratect Platinum coating.
