What is special about these dials is not that Citizen are only making a handful of them, but that they are made with the traditional Japanese Washi paper dials. The Citizen Chronomaster is now available with a regular production blue dial, as well as both red and green dials in limited editions of 200 pieces. The two limited edition Citizen Chronomaster references, with the AQ4020-54X (green) and the AQ4020-54Z (red). A flagship model in their collection is the Citizen Chronomaster, a watch that has just been released in new limited edition dial colours.

This release seemed to take some by surprise, but Citizen, just like their countrymen at Seiko, have been making very accurate quartz watches for some time. This year, Citizen got the watch world talking about quartz watches in a positive light with the release of the Caliber 0100, the wristwatch version of a piece-unique pocket watch they released in 2018. That’s over five times more precise than international standards require.I/trending 29890 Accurate AF – the Citizen Chronomaster limited editions Nick Kenyon

Why are we referencing all these numbers? Because Citizen’s Chronomaster timepieces are accurate to ±5 seconds a year. While the typical quartz timepiece maintains a ☑ second a day average and good quartz timepieces make ☑5 seconds a month, by COSC standards, a quartz chronometer holds a requirement of ☒5.55 seconds a year. Some quick numbers to note: according to the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC), mechanical tickers are considered to be highly precise when they maintain a rate of −4/+6 seconds per day. As a result, high-precision quartz timekeeping is making a strong comeback. This redefinition is in no small part due to the presence of smartwatches, which are driving forward digital timekeeping efforts.

In recent days, however, there’s been increasing interest in redefining electronically assisted timekeeping – quartz-powered timekeepers are no longer simply the more accessible option. At Revolution, we’ll be honest in saying that we’re a tad biased towards mechanical watchmaking.
