Citizen unveils two stylish dual-tone Eco-Drive chronographs with textured dials

Citizen has just launched a pair of Eco-Drive-powered chronographs for the Asian markets: the AT2604-56H and the AT2604-56X. The new models join the trio of AT2600 series chronographs that originally launched in May, and they feature a premium dual-tone design complete with a textured dial and reliable chronograph functionality.

The AT2604-56H sports a 41mm stainless steel case with a gold bezel and matching roman numerals, hands, and pushers. This model gets a sleek, grey, textured dial, which looks quite similar to the one found on the AT2600-57E. Next up, we have the AT2604-56X featuring an emerald green textured dial, with the gold bezel, hands, and numerals adding a nice contrasting touch.

Both watches come equipped with a dual-tone stainless steel bracelet with a fold-over push-button clasp and feature a mineral crystal. Under the hood, these chronographs are powered by Citizen’s H504 Eco-Drive calibre, which boasts a reliable five-month power reserve and can charge continuously from any natural or artificial light source, eliminating the need to ever replace the watch battery. They also include practical features like an insufficient charge warning and an overcharge prevention function.

The watch face features three subdials displaying the elapsed chronograph minutes, the 24-hour clock, and running seconds, alongside a basic date display at 4 o’clock. Despite the complex tech inside, Citizen managed to keep the profile slim at 11mm, while the total weight is a comfortable 153 grams. Both models are rated for up to 100 meters of water resistance. 

Citizen’s latest chronographs are currently limited to select Asian markets, namely Singapore, India, and Vietnam. Both are similarly priced at SG$561.35 and ₹39,900 for Singapore and India, respectively. We don't know if Citizen plans to release the new chronographs in other markets, including the US, UK, and Europe, or if they will remain exclusive to Asia.
