The Hikari collection of light-inspired Citizen Crosssea was updated in October 2023. The limited edition model was designed with the image of the “morning sun” that heralds the arrival of a new day and the “moonlight” that gently illuminates the night sky.
The model with the image of “Morning Sun” uses Sakura Pink(R)*4 for the band and case, which is calm and gorgeous and beautifully enhances the skin. The white butterfly dial with a pale pink gradation expresses the light emitted by the morning sun with exquisite etching, making you feel happy every time you look at it.
The “Moonlight” inspired model uses Eternal PlatinumTM*5, which has a transparent shine on the case and band. The black dial is an elegant and romantic adult design with a delicate golden gradient from the center, like the light of a soft moon floating in the dark.
Both models feature a 4-point lab-grown diamond*6 on the dial. In addition to being equipped with a photovoltaic power generation eco-drive that does not require periodic battery replacement, it is equipped with a multi-station radio wave clock that receives radio waves in four areas around the world (Japan, China, Europe, and North America) and corrects them to the correct time.

Surface hardening technology that protects the surface of a watch from scratches Duratect is Citizen’s unique technology that can express a wide range of colors such as silver, gold, and pink gold. In 2016, we pursued a Duratect suitable for women wearing Crosssea and developed “Sakura Pink(R)”. It is neither warm gold nor pink gold, but has a soft color and brilliance, combines “strength” that does not scratch and “beauty” that lasts forever, and has been highly supported by women since its appearance. In addition, the parts coated with Duratect “Sakura Pink(R)” have cleared the antimicrobial performance standards based on the test method stipulated by the SIAA (Society of Antimicrobial Products Technology) and have obtained SIAA certification.
