Citizen unveils an ultra-thin Eco-Drive One watch with a stunning green dial

If you’ve been thinking of splurging on a sophisticated dress watch that really stands out from the crowd, you might want to check out Citizen’s newest Eco-Drive One. Originally unveiled in Japan in late May, the watch has now officially made its way to the US.

The Citizen Eco-Drive One AR5065-54W is visually arresting. It sports a unique emerald green dial with a brushed texture surrounding its deep black center, complemented by shimmering rose gold hands, markers, and an inner ring. The striking color combination gives the watch a refined yet contemporary personality, while the contrast between the dark center and vibrant green outer section adds depth and visual intrigue.

Like other models in the Eco-Drive One collection (Eco-Drive Weeknder 47% off on Amazon), the AR5065-54W is defined by its remarkable thinness, measuring just 3.88mm thick—making it one of the slimmest solar-powered watches on the market. On the inside, you'll findll find Citizen’s ultra-thin Eco-Drive 8826 movement, which itself measures only 1.0mm thick. Powered by light, the movement eliminates the need for regular battery replacements while maintaining an accuracy rating of ±15 seconds per month.

The sporty case design features sharp lines and four prominent screws on the bezel, giving the otherwise elegant dress watch a subtle technical edge. Citizen has also paid close attention to finishing. The stainless steel case and bracelet feature a refined hairline-brushed treatment, while the bezel's beveled edges receive a mirror-like Zaratsu polish, creating a contrast between matte and glossy surfaces.

Comfort was clearly a priority during development. The case back adopts a two-piece construction without a traditional removable case back, which Citizen says helped achieve both the watch’s extreme thinness and its 5 ATM water resistance rating. The rear portion of the case is also shaped to better conform to the wrist.

Pricing & Availability

Limited to 250 pieces worldwide, Citizen’s limited-edition Eco-Drive One goes on sale in the US for $3,395. It will be available directly from the company’s online store.
