xpogr SATELLITE WATCH

The name ‘CITIZEN’ was coined by Shinpei Goto, a Japanese politician, in conformity to his dream that every citizen would be able to afford and own a watch.

It was also in Japan that the first shock-proof wristwatch, called as Parashock was invented in 1956. This feature was performed using a helicopter wherein the watch was dropped in front of Kyoto City Hall (1958) and again at a baseball stadium (1962). After it landed, it was found out that the watch was still in working condition.

Citizen makes every single component. From coils to screws, assembled in-house by super meisters – These are craftsmen who are extremely skilled to assemble luxury watches by hand.

Citizen was the first to use titanium in watches. So called – Super Titanium known for its feature as hypoallergenic, scratch and rust resistant combined with the surface-hardening technology, called as Duratect.

This year, marks the celebration of Citizen’s 100th year anniversary with another milestone.

Citizen introduced an ultraprecise Eco-Drive movement with annual accuracy ±1 second that uses light telling the world’s most precise time – The Calibre 0100.

We say congratulations to Citizen for their hard work and creating revolution in precision time keeping!
