Citizen watches have come up with an exquisite festive gift with the Ambiluna Limited Edition Model that comes with a clutch bag and a bangle both made of the same Nishijin textile as the watch bracelet – a new way to accessorize that goes beyond the telling of the time.
The Moon-glazed sapphire crystal that adorns the watch and a Nishijin textile band woven with kimono-weaving techniques radiate a soft glow that dissolves into the atmosphere. Time has never before felt so elegant.
Everything in this watch – the technology, the glass cover, the case, the bracelet is an expression and embodiment of light. The look of the moon-glazed sapphire glass is inspired by the gentle glow of a fog-enshrouded moon. Applying a frosting to high-transparency sapphire glass is our way of making you aware of the rich and ever-changing nature of light.
The watch bracelet is made from Nishijin textile custom-woven by Hosoo, a centuries-old textile mill in Kyoto’s Nishijin district that is dedicated to keeping Japanese craftsmanship alive and up to date. Designed to evoke the flickering transience of light, the bracelet exudes a warm glow that seems to dissolve into the ambient air, radiating elegance within a minimalist aesthetic.
The case is made of Super Titanium treated with Citizen’s proprietary surface-hardening technology Duratect, a metal with over five times the hardness of stainless steel. Resistant to scratches, lightweight and gentle on the skin, Super Titanium is a pleasure to wear.
Eco-Drive is a Citizen core technology that generates energy even from dim light and stores the surplus on a power cell. It is environment friendly and keeps running for over six months on a single full charge even in the dark, eliminating the need to replace batteries.
Just as plants convert light into energy through the process of photosynthesis, so Eco-Drive drives the hands of our watches. That is one of the key concepts behind the Ambiluna collection.
