Citizen CB5878-56E “Layers of Time” Eco-Drive Chronograph (JDM Limited Edition, 100th Anniversary)

Citizen – Precision and innovation in limited form

The Citizen CB5878-56E “Layers of Time” is part of a limited anniversary series created to celebrate the brand's 100th anniversary. It has long since sold out. It combines advanced technology with an exceptional, nature-inspired design – an expression of Japanese engineering and aesthetic perfection.

The idea behind “Layers of Time”

The "Layers of Time" collection symbolizes the Earth's layers and the transience of time. The dial displays a shimmering play of colors reminiscent of rock formations – a tribute to the ever-changing beauty of nature. Citizen developed this series to demonstrate how technology and the environment can coexist harmoniously – in line with the philosophy of the Eco-Drive system, which is powered entirely by light.
