Because both the paper and platinum decoration vary naturally, no two dials are exactly identical. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Citizen was established in 1995 as Citizen's flagship line of practical luxury watches, built around exceptional accuracy, legibility, durability and long-term ownership.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the collection's 25th anniversary in 2020, Citizen created several special models combining its modern Eco-Drive technology with traditional Japanese craftsmanship. The AQ4070-05A was the second of these anniversary releases and was limited to just 350 individually numbered examples. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe centerpiece is its Tosa Tengujo-shi Washi dial. Washi has historically been used throughout Japanese culture for applications including shoji screens, lanterns and traditional artwork. Its fibrous structure is particularly suitable for Eco-Drive because light can penetrate the spaces between the natural fibers and reach the solar cell positioned underneath the dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCitizen went considerably further for the anniversary model. Using the traditional Sunago-maki 「砂子蒔き」 technique, artisans scattered fragments of pure platinum leaf produced in Kanazawa across the Washi surface. The combination creates a dial whose texture and reflections vary from one example to another. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe model also debuted the redesigned Eagle emblem created for The Citizen's 25th anniversary, appearing prominently on the dial, crown and caseback. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications and Condition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall: Great Condition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCase: Great Condition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrystal: Clean\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDial: Clean\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMovement: Running Well\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBracelet\/Strap: Handmade \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBox\/Papers: Yes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYear: 2020\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLimited Edition: 350 Pieces\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal Retail Price: ¥385,000 Including Tax\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCitizen Caliber A060\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-Accuracy Eco-Drive Quartz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e38.3mm Case Diameter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12.2mm Thickness\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTosa Tengujo-shi Washi Paper Dial\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural Washi Fiber Construction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand-Applied Pure Platinum Leaf\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditional Sunago-maki 「砂子蒔き」 Technique\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKanazawa Platinum Leaf\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRedesigned 25th Anniversary Eagle Emblem\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e±5 Seconds Per Year Accuracy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerpetual Calendar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeap-Year Programming\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower Reserve Indicator\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApproximately 1.5-Year Power Reserve with Power-Save Function\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEco-Drive Solar Charging\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTime-Difference Adjustment\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JDM Horologist","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50982675153139,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/4984\/1907\/files\/image_2026-09-07_234444617.png?v=1788799412","url":"https:\/\/jdmhorologist.net\/products\/the-citizen-aq4070-05a-platinum-washi-dial-limited-edition-of-350","provider":"JDM Horologist","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
