Citizen continues its oceanic tribute with the new UNITE with BLUE “Sea of Silence” collection, building on the success of its 2023 World Oceans Day release.
This expanded lineup features six limited-edition timepieces, all showcasing Citizen’s innovative structural ink technology that creates vibrant blue hues without traditional pigments, instead reflecting light off microstructures embedded within the ink itself.
Oceans Of Depth
The flagship model, the Attesa Satellite Wave GPS CC4075-50L, exemplifies Citizen’s technological prowess with its scratch-resistant Super Titanium construction measuring 44.6mm by 15.4mm.
Powered by the advanced Caliber F950 Eco-Drive movement, it offers satellite GPS timekeeping, chronograph functionality, ultra-fast synchronization, perpetual calendar, world time, and an impressive five-year power reserve when fully charged. Limited to 2,400 pieces, it commands a premium $1,995 price point.
For those seeking a more compact profile, the Attesa Radio-Controlled CB0288-65L presents a refined alternative at 40.6mm by 10.6mm. This Super Titanium model features the Caliber H145 Eco-Drive movement with radio-controlled accuracy, world time capabilities, and perpetual calendar. Priced at $1,195 and limited to 2,000 pieces, it offers advanced functionality in a more discreet package.
The collection’s diving credentials come from the Promaster Dive E365 BN1025-08L, a substantial 46mm by 16.3mm stainless steel piece with 300-meter water resistance. Featuring a unidirectional timing bezel with blue insert and powered by the year-long Caliber E365 movement, this 4,500-piece limited edition is offered at $750 on a practical rubber strap.
Rounding out the men’s lineup is the PCAT Radio-Controlled CB5874-81L, which delivers radio-controlled accuracy, world time, and perpetual calendar functionality via the Caliber E660 movement. At $650 and produced in 5,500 examples, this 43mm stainless steel model represents the most accessible men’s option in the collection.
Elegance with Environmental Purpose
The “Sea of Silence” collection extends to women’s wrists with two diamond-adorned models. The premium xC Radio-Controlled ES9490-95L combines lightweight Super Titanium in a 27mm by 8.2mm case with four asymmetrically placed diamonds and Roman numerals.
Despite its traditional appearance, it houses the Caliber H060 movement offering radio-controlled accuracy, perpetual calendar, and world time functions. Limited to 1,200 pieces and priced at $1,095, it delivers significant technological sophistication in an elegant package.
The more accessible L Mae EM1060-87L surprisingly doubles the diamond count of its premium counterpart, featuring four on the dial and four on the bezel, complemented by a synthetic blue sapphire crown. This 29.5mm stainless steel model is powered by the simpler Caliber E031 Eco-Drive movement offering time-only functions with a six-month power reserve. At $625 and limited to 2,000 pieces, it represents the collection’s entry point.
What unifies these diverse models beyond their striking blue structural ink dials is Citizen’s commitment to environmental consciousness through its Eco-Drive technology. By eliminating the need for battery replacements and using innovative pigment-free coloring techniques, the UNITE with BLUE “Sea of Silence” collection aligns horological innovation with ocean conservation awareness.
For collectors seeking distinctive timepieces with environmental credentials, these limited editions offer a compelling combination of Citizen’s renowned reliability, unique aesthetic appeal through structural ink technology, and the satisfaction of supporting oceanic awareness through thoughtfully designed, energy-efficient timepieces.
