Citizen Unveils Limited Edition xC Watches with Stunning Stained Glass Dials

 

The new Citizen ES9391-62X watch

Citizen is set to launch two exquisite limited edition timepieces that transform the humble watch dial into a work of art. The new xC Basic Collection models feature intricate stained glass-inspired designs that evoke the beauty of cathedral rose windows, bringing a touch of artistic elegance to everyday wear.

A Design Inspired by Rose Windows

The Japanese watchmaker has crafted two distinct models, each featuring a dial that mimics the appearance of traditional stained glass. The Citizen ES9391-62X showcases a deep red oblong watch face that captures light in mesmerizing ways, while the Citizen ES9437-55X offers a similar aesthetic with rose gold-colored plating on its round stainless steel casing and matching band.

Both timepieces demonstrate Citizen's commitment to blending artistry with functionality. The ES9391-62X features a silver-tone Duratect Platinum surface on its stainless steel casing and strap, creating a sophisticated contrast with the warm red dial. Meanwhile, the ES9437-55X presents a more romantic, warm-toned appearance with its rose gold finishing.

Lab Grown Diamonds Add Sparkle

Adding to their luxurious appeal, both watches incorporate lab grown diamonds into their designs. The ES9391-62X positions its diamond at the six o'clock mark, while the ES9437-55X places its diamond at the 10 o'clock position. These sparkling accents elevate the timepieces from mere accessories to genuine statement pieces.

Advanced Technology Meets Elegant Design

Despite their artistic appearance, these watches are packed with Citizen's signature technology. Both models utilize the H060 caliber movement and feature three analog hands. The dials combine Roman numeral and baton indexes for a classic yet contemporary look, along with a practical date display.

As part of Citizen's Eco-Drive lineup, these watches can be powered by any light source, eliminating the need for battery replacements. The radio control function ensures exceptional accuracy, making these timepieces as reliable as they are beautiful.

Pricing and Availability

The Citizen xC Basic Collection ES9391-62X is priced at ¥86,900 (approximately $548) and will be limited to just 1,200 units worldwide. The ES9437-55X comes in slightly lower at ¥82,500 (approximately $520) with an even more exclusive run of 1,100 units globally.

Both timepieces are scheduled for release in Japan on November 5, 2026. Collectors and watch enthusiasts interested in these limited edition models can find more details on Citizen's official Japanese website:

A Fusion of Art and Function
