The CITIZEN 100th Anniversary Hand-Wound 43.5mm Electroformed Silver “Snowfall” Dial [NC2990-94A]

The Citizen NC2990-94A commemorates the 100th anniversary of Citizen’s first watch from 1924 with a Special Limited Edition pocket watch that celebrates both heritage and technical mastery. Without merely replicating the past, Citizen has reimagined it for the present with modern materials and refined craftsmanship. 

At its heart resides the Caliber 0270 hand-wound mechanical movement — meticulously crafted to deliver daily accuracy of -3 to +5 seconds per day and approximately 55 hours of power reserve when fully wound. The movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4 Hz) and features a free-sprung balance wheel, precision-finished bridges with Côtes de Genève striping, perlage decoration, and diamond-cut bevels — all visible through a sapphire exhibition case back that underscores its mechanical refinement. 

The 43.5 mm titanium alloy case is lightweight yet enduring, polished to a mirror finish, and protected by dual spherical anti-reflective sapphire crystals. The dial’s unique electroformed texture evokes the accumulation of snow during a snowfall, symbolizing the passage of time itself, and is paired with thermally blued hands and classic Arabic numerals. The small seconds display at 6 o’clock honors traditional layout while presenting a timeless mechanical aesthetic. 

Completing the experience is an artisanal braided cord chain made of pure Japanese silk kumihimo, dyed indigo by Domyo — a Tokyo workshop producing traditional cord since the 17th century. This artisanal element reinforces the marriage of heritage, craft, and precision. 

Limited to only 100 pieces worldwide, the NC2990-94A is a rare collector’s pocket watch that fuses historical inspiration with modern engineering excellence — a true celebration of Citizen’s century-long dedication to timekeeping and craftsmanship.
