The contrast between the glittering bracelet and
the soft translucence of the moonlight sapphire glass makes this watch
perfect for the sophisticated woman.
The contrast between the subdued glow of the case and the brilliant gleam of the bracelet with its reflective mirror and hairline finishes creates a uniquely glamorous effect. The watch glints differently every time you move your arm, making this a wonderfully expressive timepiece.
How to give full expression to the brilliance of light? Not by adding things, but by taking away as much as you can. It is only when something has been stripped down and simplified that its essence can emerge, be polished to a lustrous sheen and transform into light itself.
The watch’s minimalist design makes it suitable for any occasion. The beautiful, highly polished sheen—extending to every part of the watch—imparts confidence and peace of mind to the wearer.
Eco-Drive is a CITIZEN core technology that generates energy even from dim light and stores the surplus on a power cell. It is environment friendly and keeps running for over six months on a single full charge even in the dark, eliminating the need to replace batteries.
Just as plants convert light into energy through the process of photosynthesis, so Eco-Drive drives the hands of our watches. That is one of the key concepts behind the Ambiluna collection.

Masataka Hosoo was born in 1978 to the Hosoo family, one of the oldest manufactures of Nishijin textile. HOSOO, founded in 1688, produces a range of Japanese apparel and textiles including works by artisans designated as National Human Treasures by the Japanese government. After graduating from university, Mr Hosoo worked as a musician and then for a major jewellery manufacturer. After a period spent studying in Florence, he joined the family textile mill in 2008. In 2009, he launched a new business to promote fabric using the materials and weaving technique of Nishijin obi (kimono sashes) internationally. The fabric is now found in some stores of luxury fashion brands around the world. Recently, Mr Hosoo has been active as a member of GO ON, a collaborative venture of Kyoto craftspeople who create novel designs for the international market. In 2014, he was chosen as one of Japan’s 100 Most Influential People by Nikkei Business magazine.
Mr Hosoo created a special Nishijin textile to express the flickering transience of light for Ambiluna.
