Citizen releases new textured dial chronographs with metal straps

Citizen has announced three new Eco-Drive watches in Hong Kong: the AT2600-57E, the AT2603-59X, and the AT2606-51L. These are metal chronographs, with a textured dial and a detailed watch face.

The AT2600-57E has a black dial with a silver tone stainless steel casing and strap. The AT2603-59X has a green face with a rose gold colored steel case and strap. The AT2606-51L has a dark blue dial, with a rose gold tone bezel, silver colored casing and a dual-tone five-row strap. Each version has roman numeral indexes, hands and indicator rings matching the color of the metal bezel.

These Citizen chronographs are powered by an H504 Eco-Drive calibre, with a five month power reserve and the ability to charge from any light source. Smaller indicators show the time in a 24 hour format, and are linked to the stopwatch function. Plus, there is a basic date display and an overcharge prevention feature. This model is marketed as water resistant to 10 bar, with a round case measuring 41 x 11 mm (~1.6 x 0.4 inches) 

The Citizen Eco-Drive AT2600-57E chronograph retails for HK$2,680 (~$342), while the AT2606-51L is priced at HK$3,380 (~$431). The two-tone AT2603-59X is slightly cheaper at $3,280 (~$419). It is unclear when these watches could land in other markets like the US.
