CITIZEN: Caliber 0100 – New Eco-Drive watches
This previous article already introduced Citizen’s New Eco-Drive watches featuring the world’s most accurate time-keeping of within ±1 second per year. Now it is time to take a closer look at the three different (and limited!) models.
White Gold Model (AQ6010-06A)
The beauty of simplicity is magnificently reflected in this limited edition with ultra-precision accuracy of ±1 second per year.

The case and crown are crafted of clear white gold with a crystal design motif suggesting ultra-precision and the crystallization of CITIZEN technologies, as well as “purity” of individual seconds. The “Caliber 0100,” incorporated in the white gold case, is made of a black, discolouration- and corrosion-resistant ruthenium plated material, with a unique striped finish visible on the back of the watch through sapphire glass.
The tip of the second hand and the edge of the ivory dial create corresponding arcs, enhancing the second hand movement that perfectly aligns with the indices. The strap is a black crocodile texture with subtle stitches in the same colour. An individual serial number is etched on the back, indicating the limited number of 100 units available for the worldwide market.

Super Titanium Models (AQ6021-51E / AQ6020-53X)
AQ6021-51E comes with a metallic black dial and quality rich lustre. The dial absorbs light through an array of tiny apertures on the front, suggesting the relationship between light and time.
AQ6020-53X comes with a mother-of-pearl dial evoking the never-ending passage of time in the natural world. The contrast between the sophisticated mother-of-pearl pattern formed over many years and the second hand marking each precise second makes this watch uniquely striking. The presence of moments in the passage of eternal time — highlighted by ultra-precise accuracy of ±1 second per year — is envisaged in the design.
Both models feature the “crystal” motif for the case, crown and bracelet. The evocative cuts from various angles provide a variety of expressions depending on the angle of light. Designed for longevity, these models are constructed from Super Titanium™ with Duratect α*6. A serial number is featured on the back of the case indicating the limited
number of units available worldwide.
