Japanese Manufacture Citizen has enjoyed great success with the successful launch of its Tsuyosa collection, released in summer 2022! The brand continues to innovate, introducing new dial variations for this year 2024, and that’s not all! Citizen has also listened to some watch enthusiasts who didn’t appreciate the “cyclops magnifying glass” on the sapphire crystal! On these new models, the brand has simply removed it, leaving a clear space for these superb new dials.

Among these new variations, one of the most remarkable is undoubtedly the version with a salmon-colored dial, a color regularly found on the rarest pieces from Manufactures Horlogères…

A Tsuyosa “Salmon Dial”

The Tsuyosa collection is part of a long line of sport-chic watches with a very seventies design, with its seductive, curvaceous lines! Its 40 mm steel case alternates polished and satin-finished surfaces, and its lugs-free design means that the president-style bracelet falls smoothly and naturally onto the wrist. This bracelet also boasts a highly detailed finish, with a mix of polished and satin-finished links!

On this new reference NJ0159-86Z, we find a sublime salmon-colored dial with a “vertical satin” finish to great effect! This seductive dial is very pleasing to the eye, and is strewn with indexes and baton hands, covered in luminescent material. The whole thing is, of course, protected by a flat, “cyclops-free” sapphire crystal!

Technical side

Citizen represents a century of watchmaking experience, and above all, one of the world’s most important watchmaking productions! Its Miyota movements are used by numerous brands around the world. For watchmaking enthusiasts, its products are synonymous with reliability and robustness. Real tractors, able to endure anything!

The Tsuyosa collection embeds the Manufacture 8210 self-winding caliber. Beating at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour, it offers a comfortable 45-hour power reserve but above all a handsome finish. Visible through its transparent caseback, its mechanical intimacy is limitless, with a golden coating akin to the brass once used in watchmaking. On this caliber, we can note the presence of the stop seconds, perfect for precisely setting the time on your Tsuyosa!

In brief
