Previous Citizen Chronomasters used black and white paper dials, but new deep hues of red, green, and blue add more options. On the Chronomaster, the paper is wedged between a layer of solar cells and a clear layer, giving elements like the printed text a subtle floating appearance. Textured dials not only offer some visual interest but are good for legibility. Japanese paper-making uses fibers from local plants and results in a relatively thick, tough, and highly textured product that is one of Japan’s well-known traditional crafts. That includes a high level of finishing as well as a “craftsmanship” element with dials that use traditional Japanese paper ( washi), and they are now offered in three striking new colors. Promising an accuracy to within five seconds per year, the Chronomaster is not only strong technically but adds characteristics more associated with luxury watches than the majority of Citizen’s relatively affordable offerings.
