Citizen Unveils the CA4716-50L: A Racing Chronograph with Eco-Drive Technology
Citizen has unveiled a new addition to its Chrono Racing line, the CA4716-50L, a sleek and powerful chronograph with a racing-inspired design. This watch is a testament to Citizen's commitment to innovation and sustainability, combining cutting-edge technology with a stylish aesthetic.
The CA4716-50L features a 39.5 mm stainless steel case, a size that strikes a perfect balance between versatility and presence. Its deep blue dial, adorned with vertical striping and a three-sub-dial layout, is a standout feature that sets it apart from other chronographs. The watch is powered by the Caliber B620 Eco-Drive movement, a solar-powered caliber that converts natural and artificial light into energy, ensuring a power reserve of approximately 9 months on a full charge.
One of the standout features of the B620 movement is its 1/5-second chronograph, capable of measuring up to 60 minutes. This precision timing feature is complemented by a 24-hour sub-dial for AM/PM distinction and a date window positioned between the 4 and 5 o'clock markers. The movement also includes an insufficient charge warning and an overcharge prevention function, ensuring that the watch always operates at its best.
While the CA4716-50L utilizes a mineral crystal for the dial window, it offers higher impact resistance than sapphire, making it suitable for racing and daily wear. The watch has a water resistance rating of 10 ATM (100 meters), allowing it to be used for swimming and surface aquatic activities. It comes with a matching stainless steel bracelet, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit.
The CA4716-50L is priced at S$523.20 in Singapore, which converts to approximately $411.08 USD. It is also available on third-party EU channels like Larrabe, where it is priced at 219 euros. This watch is a testament to Citizen's commitment to providing high-quality, sustainable timepieces that cater to the needs of modern consumers.
