Two new limited-edition CITIZEN L models with eye-catching dials inspired by water
CITIZEN L is launching two limited-edition models from its CITIZEN L collection of environmentally-conscious, sustainable watches. These two new limited-edition models, inspired by life-giving water, will be released from the CITIZEN L ROUND Collection and the ARCLY Collection.

(Left) EM1133-85L, 1,200 pieces worldwide
(Right) EM1099-57L 2,000 pieces worldwide
These two new models are inspired by water – an essential substance that sustains all life on our planet. Both models have pigment-free structural color ink printed on the dial*1 which utilizes light reflecting off the surface of the microstructures in the ink to create a range of hues and tones. This is combined with a case and bracelet in an elegant light gold color with a brushed finish to create an antique look.
The dial of the EM1133-85L from the ROUND Collection expresses the gently undulating waves of the sea sparkling in the sunlight. The combination of the bright blue color of the dial and the understated dot indices creates a pleasingly gentle aesthetic.
The M1099-57L from the ARCLY Collection features a row of three diamonds that connects the case to the stylish outer ring. Glittering accents sparkle when light hits the dial, expressing the flow of water deep below the surface of the sea.
Both models are designed to allow quick and easy changes between straps and metal bracelets. The iconic bright blue crown provides a refreshing accent.
Since 2016, CITIZEN L has continued to provide sustainable watches with elegant designs that reflect the beauty of our planet while upholding the brand’s commitment to caring for people and the environment. All models are equipped with light-powered Eco-Drive*2, eliminating the need for regular battery changes, and reducing the environmental impact caused by waste batteries. CITIZEN L models use sustainable materials wherever possible as part of the brand’s efforts to produce sustainable watches that are kind to people and the planet.
