Citizen INDEPENDENT BY2-049-51 – “Timeless Line Clear Pebble” (JDM model) - (new, unworn)

The Citizen INDEPENDENT BY2-049-51 belongs to the “Timeless Line” , a design series that combines classic watchmaking with modern Japanese design language.
This model, which was launched in 2014 exclusively for the Japanese market (JDM), combines minimalist design with high technical precision.

INDEPENDENT was founded in Japan in the 1990s and stands for progressive design, Japanese precision and fashionable expressiveness .
The brand positions itself between classic watchmaking and modern street style – with models that deliberately lie outside the mainstream.
Typical features include clean lines, bold dial design, striking color contrasts and excellent workmanship.

The model is nicknamed "Clear Pebble" , inspired by the clear, curved glass shape that resembles smooth river stones.
The deep black dial with fine, polished indices stands in exciting contrast to the black stainless steel case and strap – elegant, simple and yet striking.

The watch is powered by a precise Citizen quartz movement , offers an accuracy of ±20 seconds per month , a battery life of approximately 4 years , and a water resistance of 5 bar (50 m) .
A solid model for everyday use that perfectly embodies the design aesthetic of the INDEPENDENT range: independent, urban and uncompromisingly modern.
