Citizen announces 500-unit Exceed watch for Japan
Citizen has announced the Exceed CB1140-79L, a limited-edition dress watch called “Sacred Morning in the Forest.”
It is part of the company’s high-end Exceed range, which mainly serves the Japanese market, and its 2026 DEAR Collection, themed around spending time with someone you love.
Its blue dial has a glittery finish and forest-inspired pattern, while the titanium case is 7mm thick.
The solar-powered Eco-Drive movement avoids regular battery changes and includes radio-controlled timekeeping, a perpetual calendar and world time across 26 time zones.
Citizen will make 500 watches, making this a small-run release.
The watch goes on sale in Japan on November 5 for ¥187,000, and buyers in the US and UK may be able to import it through retailers.
