The Watch

Citizen is a Japanese watchmaking brand that has left its mark on horology with innovative, forward-thinking creations. Prized for their quality and ease of reading, their timepieces are a trusted companion for any wrist. To set your feminine wrist apart with distinction, the brand presents the Citizen L EW5600-87D watch. It arrives in an elegant case with a rectangular silhouette that gives it a refined, classic appeal. Crafted from robust and durable stainless steel, it features an all-over polished finish for a stunning effect. Refined in every detail, it measures 21.50 mm wide, 28.40 mm long, with a thickness of 7.50 mm and a weight of 68 g. The slightly domed sapphire crystal mirrors the shape of the case and provides excellent scratch resistance along with a beautiful view of the dial's components. The watch's refined character continues through the crown at three o'clock, which also features a polished finish and handles adjustment of the hour and minute hands for accurate timekeeping. The watch is sealed by a snap-on case back offering 5 ATM water resistance, engraved with the model's key specifications.

The Dial

The dial of this watch has been designed for effortless at-a-glance timekeeping. Clean and uncluttered, it is enhanced by stylized Arabic numerals in black, which contrast beautifully against the blue-tinged hues of the white mother-of-pearl. The dial is further elevated by silver-toned indexes in baton form at 6 and 12 o'clock and square markers at 3 and 9 o'clock. The center is accented by a square displaying small bars for each hour. The "Alpha" hands for the hours and minutes feature a beautiful blue tone in perfect harmony with the pearlescent base, lending the watch an elegant character. They are paired with a slender seconds hand, also blue, with a counterweight in the shape of a stylized letter L - a refined finishing touch. Finally, the brand signs its name just below 12 o'clock and indicates the movement type at 6 o'clock.

The Movement

This model is powered by an Eco-Drive movement that can be recharged by any light source. Specifically, it runs on the Japanese caliber B035, which - once fully charged - will keep ticking for up to 7 months. The movement features reliable three-hand analog display, along with low-charge warning and overcharge prevention functions.

The Bracelet

This watch features a comfortable stainless steel bracelet that's a pleasure to wear. Supple and durable, it is made up of three rows of links alternating between polished and brushed finishes. The lug width is 16 mm, tapering to 14 mm at the deployant clasp.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance to 5 atmospheres, or 50 m. Designed above all to be a beautiful, head-turning piece, it wears its elegance without sacrificing durability. You can keep it on in the shower, though the Ocarat team recommends leaving it safely on the counter to preserve its brilliance and integrity over the long term. Swimming and scuba diving are not recommended - putting the watch at risk of damage and costly repairs.
