Designer
In-house design studio
The reference was drawn by the manufacture's internal design office, where case, dial and movement architects work alongside the watchmakers rather than as an outside commission.
Historical significance
Citizen The Citizen 43 mm Silvered 18k sits within Citizen's The Citizen line, introduced in 1986. It carries the house codes established since 1918 — 18k rose gold case, silvered opaline dial and high-accuracy quartz — and is one of the references collectors use to date the evolution of the collection.
Interesting facts
- The movement's bridges are decorated even where they will never be seen once the watch is cased.
- Early production dials show a slightly different minute track, and collectors pay a premium for them.

Brand history
Citizen has spent more than 108 years refining a single idea: a watch should outlive its owner. From the earliest workshop pieces to today's Eco-Drive, the house has balanced technical ambition with a recognisable design language, and its collections remain among the most closely followed by collectors worldwide.
Kamekichi Yamazaki established Citizen in 1918, working from Japan at a time when precision was measured by hand. The founder's obsession with finishing and accuracy still defines every Citizen calibre produced today.
