Citizen's new Zenshin Three-hand Eco-Drive brings hardened titanium to limited-edition watch

Citizen has added the Zenshin Three-hand AW0132-55P to its US store at $695. American buyers can finally get a blinged-out amber gold Zenshin without overpaying for international imports. The watch already has an official listing in Europe, where Citizen Spain lists it at 499 euros.

Duratect Amber Yellow arrived in 2025 as the newest surface treatment in Citizen's Super Titanium range. It was actually introduced to celebrate 55 years since the company's first titanium watch. It is not gold plating. The surface is a nickel-free niobium-titanium alloy hardened to a Vickers rating between 1,700 and 2,300, which Citizen puts at ten to twenty times tougher than conventional gold plating, and it is hypoallergenic. The tone is closer to warm light than to bright gold, and Citizen applies it to case, bracelet and textured yellow dial alike.

Citizen US lists the case as 39 mm wide in Amber Yellow Super Titanium, with sapphire over the dial and water resistance of 100 m, decent for swimming, showering and snorkelling but not diving. It's 10 mm thick, 91 g without the bracelet, a screwed case back and anti-reflective treatment on the crystal. Super Titanium is around 40% lighter than steel while having roughly five times the surface hardness of the latter.

The J800 Eco-Drive movement charges from any light and, per Citizen's European specification, runs about eight months from full. It drives three hands and a combined day-date window at three o'clock. The integrated Super Titanium bracelet closes on a fold-over clasp with push buttons.
